That's irrelevant as all hell, and you know that.G08 wrote:It's the hesitation that's killing me. Confirmation bias is probably accurate, I'm terrified this coaching staff is raping the playmaking out of him and these examples are sounding alarms in my head. Look at his huge 4th quarter miss to Bellamy... why did he pause before the throw? Why did he sink his base, pause AGAIN, and then not step into his throw and airmail the ball? He's hesitating... just let it rip kid, believe in what you see.wab wrote:I think your suffering from a little bit of confirmation bias here. He missed a throw. It happens. Lots of QB's with much more experience miss open guys.
Yeah... that makes a ton of sense to me but it's the Bears, wab. There HAS to be a part of you that is thinking "oh for fuck's sake, here we go again". I know it is for me and that's going to be impacting how I see this kid develop, fair or not. Deshaun Watson at Clemson was in an offense that only read half the field, granted he played in more games and he had better weapons in the NFL than Mitch Trubisky does here, but what's the harm in opening it up for him and letting him play with his gunslinger (his words) style? It just irks me... I get that our roster is shit, but the kid is going to have to learn at some point.wab wrote: He's being careful with the ball because he has barely any experience. The last time he tried to throw a guy open, it was a pick 6 and it cost the Bears the game. In fact, being careful with the ball is something we rarely see with a Bears quarterback. It's not going to ruin his killer instinct. NFL defenses are different than anything he's faced in college. And as painful as it is to admit, he really probably just doesn't know where to go with the ball most of the time, or what in the general fuck he's doing out there. When he has time and the offense is clicking, he can be brilliant. But things are breaking down around him way too fast right now, he doesn't have a receiver he can trust, and the playcalling has been inconsistent because of mistakes resulting in bad down and distance situations.
No matter what this organization does... switches GMs, head coaches, offensive coordinators, quarterbacks, during my lifetime, it always ends up either being not good enough or it goes down in flames. I'm fucking sick of it and I really don't trust anyone in this organization to change anything. I'm sure I'm being more cynical/melodramatic this week than usual, but I'm starting to hit that boiling point of "why the fuck do I keep rooting this team on and expecting the best when they consistently fail?"wab wrote: In a list of things that are a problem with this team - boneheaded coaching mistakes, missing 5 of the top receiving targets, injuries to a pro bowl pair of guards, the apparent regression of the star center, constant shuffling of the OL, WR's that can't consistently get open or catch, an inconsistent pass rush, and lack of takeaways...Mitch Trubisky is pretty far down the list.
For my mindset, it also doesn't help that I'm slowly turning into that crusty old Bears fan that hates ownership. Why? Because I can point to the Cubs, 108 fucking years of futility, and all it took was new ownership's vision and approach to break that curse. I don't see that happening here, ever. And I fucking hate it.
The Cubs not winning a WS for over a century has nothing to do with the Bears. Neither do QB's or HC's who we had decades ago. lol. The Dick Jauron/Rex Grossman/Lovie Smith's of the world have literally nothing to do with the modern-day Chicago Bears.
It's been a rough few years, but Jesus... I don't get this doom/gloom stuff, as if we're the Browns. Prior to 2014, we were pretty much competitive on a yearly basis for nearly a full decade. We went to two NFC Title games and a Super Bowl. You're getting pretty greedy if you're griping about that not lasting forever.
