@Richie Dude I quit coming up here 2 times this season because of you because I just couldn't take the constant negativity and attacks by you just for supporting Mitch or pointing out that it wasn't all on just him. If there's anyone up here that I wished I had an ignore feature for it was you.
Regardless of all that now you see what most of us have seen in Mitch and glad to see you at least acknowledge he played well. You still have to try and make it out that he wasn't quite good enough but hey that's you man. You be you...
Hopefully, Mitch continues to evolve in a positive way so we as fans can stop bickering among each other and get back to having fun. Anyhow cheers!
I attacked you? Give me a break. We both laid out our points. That simple. G08 is the only person I ever said anything to on a personal level but that was because he was intentionally (and repeatedly) misleading and misrepresenting data. I do sort of feel bad about it. I like G08 but that's just not cool, IMO.
At the end of the day, people have emotional attachments to QB's. It hurts their feelings when you rag on them as opposed to any other position.
Mitch WAS good enough last night. B = Good enough. It just doesn't = Flawless. There were flawed plays. A = TB/DET/GB games by him last season.
Would you really assert that Mitch was perfect last night? For Mitch Trubisky? That's an "A" game, yes. For a franchise QB? That's not an A. I don't see it. I'm sorry.
I like Mitch. I was defending Mitch in 2018 and over the off-season. I defended him after Week 1. There simply isn't a way that this can be spun into "I just love to hate Mitch". History suggests otherwise. I am fair with Mitch and have demonstrated that I will take either side when appropriate.
The Thanksgiving game was possibly closer to an "A". I defended him on that INT too.
I think a few of you in this thread like painting me as this "frothing at the mouth" and "illogical" Mitch hater. It just isn't the case.
Was I frustrated with the apologists for Mitch throughout October and November? When he deserved absolutely ZERO apology? Yes, I was. I still think it was silly.
I don't knee-jerk based on one or two games. Body of work is key. It's about sustaining a high-level of play.
Mitch is trending up. Let's keep it going. I'm excited to see what happens. Cheers to you as well.
