Chicago Bears: The Mitchell Trubisky era is finally over and done with
It is the end of an error. The Chicago Bears no longer have to have Mitchell Trubisky playing quarterback for them. No matter whose fault it is, he never developed as well as he should have. Matt Nagy wasn’t able to coach him because he was so committed to his offensive scheme. He thought he was in Kansas City the whole time and that never allowed Trubiksy to reach his ceiling. It is a shame that it worked out that way but it is what it is.
The Chicago Bears’ decision to draft Mitchell Trubisky is still a disaster.
The Chicago Bears traded up from pick three to pick to in order to select Mitchell Trubiksy in the 2017 NFL Draft. In doing that, they left both Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson on the board for other teams to take. Now, both Mahomes and Watson are both on Hall of Fame trajectories.
Now, Trubisky is gone as he has signed on to be John Allen’s Buffalo Bills backup. He is probably going to go there and be a solid backup because that organization all of the sudden looks like a competent one. If he can go there and be a good solid backup, no one should be surprised. He was a terrible starter here in Chicago but the organization deserves a lot of blame for that.
Meanwhile in Chicago, they are fresh off an Andy Dalton signing. Do you mean to tell me Andy Dalton is going to be more effective than Mitchell Trubisky? At least number ten was able to scramble and use his legs. He also got closer to winning a playoff game in one try than Dalton ever did. Nick Foles is still there too and we know how the Foles/Trubisky battle worked out in 2020.
This franchise should be looking at the Mitchell Trubisky era as a complete failure. Everyone involved, including Mitch, deserves blame for this. The fact that this colossal failure didn’t result in both Nagy and Pace being fired is another mystery but that is beside the point. The decision to draft Trubisky will cause negative effects on the team for the next 20 years but he is gone now. Hopefully, enough change will be on the horizon where they can finally get this position right.
