I don't think Fox had any intention of comparing Trubsky to Tebow based on the quote in the article.
He is just talking about the fans excitement about Tebow being similar, not the players.
This might be a comment Fox wished he kept to himself though.

I don't understand the fantasy analysis I'm hearing from some that he has no ceiling as a fantasy prospect.
He has the athleticism to pick up rushing yards (at least like Alex Smith) to go with the accurate arm. Ran for 300 yards and five TDs last season.
Guys like Evan Silva, whose opinions are usually reliable, just keep repeating that he only started 13 games in college as a certainty he will bust. It's time to actually find a valid critique.

One big knock on Tribusky is that he was awful at feeling the pocket. When blitz packages came in, he would usually have no idea and get slammed and cough up the football. I'm not sure how well that flaw would show up in preseason but against a regular season blitz package it might be more evident.

For what it's worth, just grabbed him with the 25th pick of a 14 team dynasty, rookie draft. Couldn't believe he fell there. Watson and Mahomes went ahead of him. I wasn't planning on taking a QB, but with how well he has played so far, I figured it was pretty low risk for where I got him. After watching highlights and reading up on him, I'm pretty enthusiastic about his chances. I'm surprised, for example, that this thread is only three pages deep. Just about the quietest I can remember the world being about a quarterback taken with the #2 pick.

I think there will be more chatter once it looks like he will be the starter. He's obviously gotten rave reviews.

Just got him at 24 imy 16 team dynasty.Mahomes went 4 picks earlier and Watson/Kizer went late 1st
Was targeting a QB at that pick and was hoping one would be there.

Maybe a rookie just needs reps.

Obviously Trubisky has a lot of learning to do. I think the experience from this game is going to help him though moving forward.
He is very mobile and also accurate with a lot of his throws. He can throw the out route well, better than a lot of QB can, perfectly placed ball to Kendall Wright early on in the game and he hit another one like this later on in the game.
The Bears pretty limited with what they asked him to do which is a sign of his inexperience. Too many bootlegs to reduce his reads to only one side of the field This was working earlier on in the game, but the Vikings defense adjusted after seeing that a few too many times.
First thing he should learn from this game is to avoid Harrison Smith like most other QBs do.

I thought it was a very encouraging performance. He has a great deal of talent - it won't be maximised in this system, with this supporting cast, but long term the sky is the limit IMO. He was let down a bit tonight by his WRs and drive stalling penalties and he faced a tough defense. I think there's plenty to be optimistic about.

Trubisky has a lot of upside. I like his overall game, but he's just hampered by their lack of receiving talent. Losing Meredith hurt.
They do have some potential for next season, though, with Trubisky, Howard, Cohen, Meredith, & Shaheen (who should be getting more PT to try to quicken his development).

Well this has been disappointing so far but the Bears seem better with Trubisky. - Also so far Trubisky has 2 TDs passing while the punter and the backup RB also have 2 TDs passing.

The situation is disappointing for sure. It is what it is - Fox has a Ferrari sitting in his garage but he's not inclined to give it even a test run around the block. He has no one to throw to anyway so this year is just a write off for fantasy most likely. Hopefully Fox is gone in 2018 and the Bears acquire a couple of good WRs. Then Trubisky will be able to really show what he's got. Situation is everything. Look at Goff last year, Watson this year.

We've seen with the Rams what a change can do for the offense if you have the pieces in place. Maybe a new coach and Meredith back and a couple of good offensive free agents could jump start this thing and not waste what looks to be a very promising opportunity.
With that said, think if the Bears had taken Watson instead.
