This has been reported for days now. See story here.
"We started to break the huddle early, and he said, ‘Get the f--- back in the huddle, and don’t break it until I break it.’ He kind of cussed at all of us linemen, and I was like, ‘Hell, yeah. I respect the s--- out of that.’

- Josh Sitton
Maybe I missed it but this hasn't been discussed here. What do you think about this? Major leadership demonstration? Or enhanced bit of not much?

He's commanding the offense and the huddle. As a rookie? With veteran linemen?

Yuge.

It's great to hear for such a young kid to be able to command the huddle like that. However, I want to see continued improvement in his reads, accuracy and overall growth as an NFL QB week to week. I know it's tough with the type of receivers he has to throw to, but there have been plays he's missed which I'm sure he'd like to have back.

All in due time...

Have no worries about him. Sure he didn't make all the reads, maybe a bad throw. There is room for improvement. But that's completely expected from a rookie QB. Under the circumstances he is doing just fine. The thing is, he has all the tools and has shown them all at points and has the respect of the team and coaches. This is why I like him being in there and learning on the field, it will speed up his development. I am convinced this time next year you will see a very solid QB leading the team.

Some people here would give Trubisky a round of applause for wiping his ass correctly if they could.

I’ve been clamoring for a story like this. Next I see him getting on a lineman for blocking the wrong guy, or a receiver for running the wrong route. Not being an asshole, but holding people accountable for their mistakes. This is Mitchell’s team, man. No doubt about it.

Thats what I thought this thread was going to be about. Thought it was was gon be general bitching about Bears being slow to get plays in, slow to get in and out of the huddle and up to the line. Which I agree has been frustrating at times.

But this is cool too. Good to hear Trubs is speaking up.

It's good he showed command presence. For a rookie to tell vets like Long, or Sitton, "I am in charge" shows some balls.

Sure it doesn't show of he will have a successful career. It does point to the correct mental make up though.

Hopefully he fixes his mechanics under pressure, continues to learn and progress.

I was thinking the same thing. My counter thought is he hasn't really been given a fair opportunity to show what type of passer he can be. The Bears have basically thrown only on obvious passing situations. Defenders are brining the heat and the Bears line hasn't been pass protecting well.

I don't care all that much about this. Could you imagine Cade McNown or Johnny Manziel saying such a thing? I can. And what kind of leaders were those guys? Further, Sitton is supposed to say positives about teammates. So "enhanced" is entirely possible. I'm not saying that what was reportedly said was bad. It's fine. But it's a small thing and the context of the QBs other actions are far more significant.

well, it is sort of his job to be in charge, so I don't see the big deal here ... if it motivates his O-Line to play better, that's cool but the reality is they should be properly motivated in the first place without someone yelling shit at them

Well, Biscuits confirmed that he indeed say that to Pro-Bowl G Josh Sitton. I love it too. I want to see my QB take control of the offense and set the tone.
