that and just being excited about a guy who very much looks the part already, goes through his progressions, keeps his eyes downfield, and has pocket awareness that is noticeably very good. not to mention ridiculous accuracy and arm talent. he has things to clean up, obviously, but it's nothing that should doom him.

Everyone knows sulley is a crazy blowhard (only my teams!), but he wears it on his sleeve. Your measured response is concern that Trubisky isn't Andrew Luck as a prospect. My measured concern is everyone in this thread crowning Mitch's ass before he's thrown a meaningful pass. whatever the hell that means bears fans are far from the only ones excited about trubisky. and just about everything sulley was saying about trubisky's game, minus the hyperbole, obviously, is showing up on the field.

yeah, what a crazy thing to say the running game is elite you'd almost think they had a good offensive line and a guy who ran for 1300 yards last year as a rookie in essentially 13 games...at a 5.2 y/carry clip oh and another promising rookie with ridiculous athleticism is being added to the mix
-
this is actually so spot on lmao
-
what's crazy is how much the draft got bashed immediately and how solid the first 4 picks are looking. they may have gotten 4 legit contributors, including a franchise QB, in one draft. that's the good stuff.

Almost all draft related rage is people reacting negatively to deviations from the "established" predicted draft order. I personally love all of the post draft hot takes because literally no one has any idea of how the players in the draft will turn out. Independent of how Trubisky turns out, the trade up seems kind of stupid to me. But marginally stupid as they didn't trade mortgage the future for it. The gave up a 3rd (2017), a 4th (2017), and a 3rd (2018). In the second round, they dropped 9 spots and picked up a 4th (2017), a 6th (2017), and a 4th (2018). While these two moves should probably be evaluated independently, it seems to me the dropped when they felt like they could still get their guy and jumped up when they weren't sure if they could get their guy. It's not completely a wash, but it softens the blow for sure. "The Bears have potentially drafted something they never had before - a franchise quarterback!" "Yeah, but couldn't they have drafted him more economically?" I'm less annoyed by what they gave up to move up, and more concerned about if Trubisky is a "franchise" QB to begin with. Any QB is a gamble, but Trubisky wasn't even a consensus first QB off the board, much less an Andrew Luck-esque "next big thing". mainly because some people don't know that deshaun watson will never throw accurately enough to be all that good.

I really don't buy that it was primarily a smoke screen, even if that worked as a plus in the end. i don't think it was primarily that...they did need a stop-gap, and they couldn't know for sure if they'd get mitch. but i do think it was a factor for them and something they took into account when signing him vs. say retaining hoyer or something low key like that.
-
Uh, no? And I hate him but this is just a really strange statement. Nothing baffling or short sighted about it. I agree. I said this a couple pages back, but I think his signing really helped throw the NFL off the Trubisky trail. The narrative before the draft was that the Bears are going defense because they had their QB. You had a reporter in the Chargers draft room quoting John Lynch as thinking they were trading up for defense. The Bears got their QB of the future, which is as future oriented as you can get, when any number of teams could have traded up ahead of them if they hadn't been thrown off the scent or the Browns could have just taken their guy. So to me, and I know this is still not the widely held belief, the signing of Glennon was a master stroke of long term strategy. One thing I found out this week that supports this view is that the trip Pace and the coaching staff took to NC occurred before they signed Glennon. So I'd think by that time they already had their ideal plan in place. And even if they weren't able to get their guy, Glennon seems like he's a better hedge than anything they had in FA. Unless one would consider sticking with Cutty to be the best long term option. Again, just my opinion, but I'm not going to miss a chance to shill. Completely agree. Smokescreen stop gap. The cost is totally immaterial.
-
Yeah I see all the articles saying how well Glennon played. It looked to me that he played OK but was again completely outplayed by Trubiaky. The clock issues and fumbled snap aside. There is a huge gap in talent and ability. Glennon is truly one of the most bafflingly short-sighted signings in Bears history Uh, no? And I hate him but this is just a really strange statement. Nothing baffling or short sighted about it.

This kid needs to play
-
wonder what jarvis landry would cost
-
meh. the cubs play 162 times and this will be our last chance to watch trubisky for a few weeks at least. You think the 4th game will be all Sanchez/Shaw? who knows...i kind of forgot the 4th game exists because i never watch it lol but however much he plays, it'll be with bum ass 3rd and 4th string bums (which only make up the WR corps on the first string offense)
