I think that Nagy did a good job last year hiding Trubisky’s flaws. And they are many. He doesn’t read defenses well. He doesn’t go through progressions. He locks on to receivers. He processes what he sees on the field slowly, so he is slow making decisions. He is not an accurate passer, particularly when throwing the deep ball. And he consistently throws in to coverage.
i believe much of his success last year was coaching. They put him in position to be successful. They schemed open receivers. So he was throwing to wide open receivers. Then he can see it and throw it. He doesn’t have to anticipate. By designed runs they slowed down the pass rush, and he seemed to be throwing from a clean pocket, not pressured a lot. He is a much better runner than I thought. Maybe they have cut down on his movement because they are afraid of him getting injured. I don’t know. But much of what they seemed to do that worked last year, they stopped doing.
He showed signs of improvement last year, but he was still terribly inconsistent. He seems to have regressed. Year three is when a QB should be making a big step forward. Trubisky seems to have made a big step back. Some of it may be coaching, but a lot may be he just isn’t very good, and never will be.
