Ok I agree he could turn this thing around, I just think its more likely that we see and improvement to mediocrity rather than solid improvement to 'good'. I think its very unlikely they win anything approaching 12 games due to the schedule, making the playoffs is plausible but I dont think its very likely in the least. They lost a home playoff game to a very meh wildcard team, and the only reason it came down to the final fieldgoal is that the quarterback looked like a deer in the headlights until the final drive of the game. Much like Sunday played out. Thats not sustainable.When you take a guy that high, especially when you trade up for him, you have to see it through. There's no competition to bring in on the same level. They won 12 games and made the playoffs in his first year. Should've won at least one playoff game due to his last drive, but the kicker blew it. He hasn't been as bad as some are making him out to be. He had a rough couple games. They're 1-1, same as they were at this time last year. Very likely they'll make the playoffs again. Trubisky isn't going anywhere.
I'm saying what we saw last year wasnt good enough. What were seeing this year is not even close to good enough. Its not that he has to improve, he has to improve HUGELY. And not just because Nagey dumbs down the playbook so Mitch only has to look at half the field, and not just because he runs for a bunch of first downs. Why should we settle for a guy that just squeaks you through by totally rigging an offense to overcome his manifest deficiencies?
