Tale of the tape: More good than bad from Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky

I don't think taking Watson makes any difference. We can't say yet that Watson will be a better QB than Trubisky (though I'm sure in our instant take environment many have, just as they decided Goff was a bust after half a season). If Watson was on the Bears he'd be handing the ball off 50 times and managing the hell out of the game too. He wouldn't have any WRs to throw to. Watson has been put in a position to maximise his abilities - they are running an offense built for him, not asking him to be a traditional pocket passer. Credit to them. Trubisky is in the worst situation imaginable in terms of making him look good. All I'm looking for from him this season are flashes of natural talent.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.
I get all that. Can't disagree. Wasn't trying to though. It was more of a thought of me thinking that I like trubisky a lot. He really seems to have "it". But, to me,watson looks like the real deal, no doubt. I don't think trubisky would be doing what Watson has if he were on the Texans. Just my opinion.

Great article and I agree that he has been impressive this far despite the numbers. He’s light years ahead of kizer. He has no weapons outside of his rbs. So sad. I hope the bears trade for Martavis Bryant.Whoops - here is the correct link:
Tale of the tape: More good than bad from Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky
Those guys are in that discussion as well but what ive seen from the three i mentioned makes me value them higher. Trubisky and Goff have shown flashes of brilliance every game this year. They are not being valued correctly imo and are both strong buys right now. Dak is a dual threat assassin that wasn't being valued correctly last year but his value has steadily been on the rise so you might have to pay to much for him now.Why do you say that about those three in particular?
I can't stand Jeff Dickerson. Biggest pos who covers the Bears. Has been attacking Jay for years with almost all conjecture.
Mitchell Trubisky completed 21-of-35 passes for 297 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' Week 10 loss to the Packers.
The 297 yards were a season high. Trubisky wound up throwing far more than the Bears would have liked due to negative game flow. His highlight play was a 46-yard scoring connection with Josh Bellamy in the second half. Trubisky didn't get much help from his pass catchers otherwise, as they suffered through a seemingly countless string of drops. Trubisky will be a low-end two-quarterback-league play in Week 11 versus Detroit.

I’d like to see Trubisky with some legit receivers and better coaching.The best rookie QB ever wouldn't succeed on the Bears.
Hiring Nagy is a great sign for the development Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. Nagy helped coax the best season of Alex Smith's career in 2017 and aided the development of Chiefs first-round pick Patrick Mahomes.
Getting an offensive mind in the building to nurture Trubisky was the Bears' No. 1 priority this offseason. Nagy is their man. His tenure will be defined by how quickly Trubisky develops into the franchise quarterback the Bears have searched generations to find.
In a 12 team, 1 qb format it shouldn’t be much.Can we see some examples of what people are being offered or have been willing to trade to acquire Trubisky??
I like him but there’s a lot of expectations right now. He’s very inexperienced still and the guys they brought in all have big question marks. Might be cheaper to buy during the season than now when it’s all rainbows and unicorns.
Hmmm. Sounds like goff last year. Guy goes #1 overall, fantasy community writes him off, goes from old school coach to new offensive mind, adds some weapons, I’ll wait and see the results.Logically I know the odds that he will go from a lower tier QB to being a fantasy relevent QB (top 12) are long. But I did see a spark in his style of play last year that made me feel more optimistic than the results warranted. I am an old Vikings fan and so I don't say this lightly, but Trubisky reminds me of Fran Tarkington. He has the ability to scramble and keep a play alive and then find the open man. He has the ability to roll out and throw accurately on the run. He doesn't have the strongest arm in the world, but he has above average accuracy. And he looks like a leader--a guy who isn't afraid and doesn't back down.
Now the team is giving him some weapons and a new OC who wants a more dynamic offense.
But logically, I know most promising young QBs do not become super stars.
Unless he blows the lid of his ceiling and becomes a startable QB (top 12), his value will fall. So this may be the best time to trade. Plus the rookie QBs are not on teams yet and so their allure is not clouding the market.
Bottom line: if you think he is going to become a super star, you should hang on, but if you think he is more likely to become a middling Qb (Qb13-20), then this is the time to sell.
I'll probably hold onto him because of my gut feeling.
Agreed on almost everything. Top 7 seems high to me, especially considering Goff isn't top 10 according to the FBG rankings. My expectations for Mitch are just a little behind Goff.I'm all over this kid. His numbers didn't look all that great last year but he had nothing to work with really. Chicago has done a good job upgrading his receiving options. I see him taking a big step forward and being a top 7ish dynasty QB this time next year.
Top 7 dynasty QB is a stretch, but I like what CHI has done to put Trubisky in a position to succeed. CHI's offense should be well balanced. As a Bears fan, I am excited to see how this plays out.I'm all over this kid. His numbers didn't look all that great last year but he had nothing to work with really.

Speaking Thursday, Bears RG Kyle Long said the coaching staff has "taken the training wheels off" of Mitchell Trubisky.
"My little boy is becoming a man," Long said. "Mitch -- they've taken the training wheels off of Mitch's little bike. So he's going to be able to do some things creatively and get to showcase his skills. We're excited to see him. He's a tremendous leader and somebody the guys look up to in the locker room." Ex-coach John Fox predictably shackled Trubisky as a rookie, only letting him go as far as game manager-type, but the new staff led by innovative minds, coach Matt Nagy and OC Mark Helfrich, plan to unleash their young passer. Trubisky flashed as a rookie and is a dark horse candidate to make a significant second-year leap.
