I wonder what the Bears’ head coach Matt Nagy had Mitch Trubisky rated in the draft in 2017? At the time, Matt Nagy, was a coach on the Kansas City Chiefs’ side line. Was Mitch Trubisky projected to even be a first round draft pick by Matt Nagy? If you could only be a fly on the wall in Matt Nagy’s office. Perhaps even see the notes he had written about Mitch Trubisky back then. We know the Chiefs chose Patrick Mahomes after Trubisky and Deshaun Watson were scooped up. Experts said one of Mitch Trubisky’s strong points was his accuracy before he was drafted. Even with only one year playing under his belt in college, he was drafted higher than two guys that have quite the resume on the collegiate level. Many Thought Trubisky will play at a higher level in year three of his career. Year two in the same system. Why has he regressed to a level so low in the 2019 campaign?

Last Sunday the LA Chargers tried to serve the Chicago Bears a victory on a silver platter. Once again the Bears shoot themselves in the paws in a game they should have won. Bears won the numbers game versus the Chargers except the most important ones on the score board. Bears had the football for 38 minutes in their possession on offense. Who was to blame? Some will say the kicker who missed a 41 game winner with 4 ticks left in the game. Once again Coach Matt Nagy with just bad play calling. What about the play of Mitch Trubisky? Trubisky did drive the team down the field to set up the winning field goal. He also turned over the ball twice. Your defense held the Chargers to 17 points. Bears were held to 16 points by a crappy Charger team missing many defensive starters due to injury. If the Bears offense could muster up 20 points per game in 2019 with that defense, they would be in the thick of things.

In the first half of the game versus the Chargers, the Bears ran 12 plays inside the Chargers ten yard line without scoring a touchdown. The Bears ran nine plays inside the five yard line to come away with only chip shot field goals that were made. Mitch Trubisky throws were off target.Matt Nagy in my mind should of just ran the ball straight up the middle on the Charger team missing their interior line man on defense. He chose to pass and Mitch Trubisky looked very uncomfortable. Mitch Trubisky only completed 5 passes in this game over 5 yards. He came into the game 26th in the league in passing rating. Last season Mitch Trubisky had some great games like the big game against the Buccaneers defense which was known at the time for giving up lots of points each contest. Some of Trubisky’s numbers were inflated. However he was decent. He got the job done. That talented defense was able to bail out Trubisky’s mistakes. This season far too many to hide the weakest link.

The Chicago Bears put all their cards on the table when it came to drafting Mitch Trubisky. They gave up draft picks just to move up one spot just to land Mitch. They then traded high draft picks to land Khalil Mack which made a good defense, an incredible defense instantly. It’s the same plan many teams have done. Like the Seattle Seahawks drafted Russell Wilson and had their money invested in the Legion of Boom defense. Bears and Seahawks were paying the young quarterbacks a low amount of money in their rookie deals with a huge window of opportunity to win a Superbowl. The Bears made it to the playoffs last season after winning the NFC Central. Coming into 2019, many had the Bears possibly going to the Superbowl. As you can see, the Bears have a lot invested in Mitch Trubisky at quarterback. You can even say when the Bears hired Matt Nagy, an offensive genius. A quarterback whisperer to help Mitch get to a higher level.

Is this thing with Mitch Trubisky fixable? I’m not sure if Mitch Trubisky is salvageable at this point. He looks more like one of those project quarterbacks. Young guys that sit on the practice squad and you try to develop slowly. He came into the league and people said he had accuracy which is not there. You can’t teach accuracy. You have it or you don’t. Without that he is unable to throw down the field 20 yards or over. His stats there are just sickening bad. The problem is this team is built to win now. Learning on the fly has killed the Bears this season. We do not know when or if he will be able grasp everything in time. The Bears could not trade for a quarterback before the deadline because they traded away their capital in draft picks. The salary cap next year might not be able to afford and land a high priced veteran quarterback. Being stuck with Mitch could deflate a Bears team that looked to have so much promise.

Besides Mitch Trubisky’s faults, the Bears still have lots of questions. Can you trust Ryan Pace the GM of the Bears to even find a replacement in the draft or free agency behind the center? Ryan Pace is having a tough time trying to figure out what a good kicker looks like. Is Matt Nagy the right guy to be the head coach of the Chicago Bears? Nagy, aka Inspector Gadget, gets a little nutty with his play calling on the offense. At times in the red zone he gets too cutesy for the common goal, just score a touchdown. Teams have caught up to him on his play calling. Does his scheme even have the right parts? Seems he can’t get the best of what he has and does not play to their talents. To give up on a running back like Jordon Howard who can wear down defenses, especially in colder games in Chicago. Mitch Trubisky came off a shoulder injury and he has him passing the ball over 50 times versus the Saints. You have a coach with bad game planning. You have a GM that can hit on certain positions. Traded away many draft picks to build depth. Then you have a quarterback who may be a bust. With all of this going down, Chucky Gruden looks like the genius trading away Mack to the Bears when we thought he lost his mind. Bears could be in deep shit as the mistakes continue to leak out, as the season continues to linger something fowl over the Lake.
