Point I made before the draft and like you said, no one has anointed him. I was as big a fan as anyone but know potential just means you haven't done anything yet. That said, I think NC got a little pass happy because of Mitchell. That won't be the case here.

He needs quality snaps and until he's experienced how a pro has schemed and adjusted to NFL disguised Ds, the snaps won't help as much. I'd like to see him some time this year if Glennon doesn't excel but I have no problem with Glennon keeping his slot if he plays well.

I also don't get the leadership rap. There have been zero documented negatives in this regard.

I think that stemmed from the whole Trubiksy vs Williams battle in 2015. It was reported back then and Trubiksy confirmed it in an interview as the battle was going on that one of the things the coaches wanted to see out of him was his being a more vocal leader.
And ultimately when Williams beat him out one of the things Fedora mentioned was Williams leadership.
So I don't think it is a negative as in he is a bad leader but moreso that because Williams was a more vocal and confident leader, the perception became that Trubiksy had issues with leadership. Then Kurt Warner during the draft process started talking about whether Trubiksy can command a huddle.
So I think it's mostly stuff that's been overblown because Trubiksy is more of a quiet leader rather than the vocal and confident leader.

Pretty meh. Maybe they wanted him to be more of a dick but that really doesn't seem his nature. No one coming out was Watson in that regard but it was not a negative for Trubisky and the more we learn, the less concern that should be raised. He seems more the type to take charge when it's his turn to and supports whomever is there at the time. Was nice to see him hinting at playing earlier than later in camp interviews. Doesn't seem to lack confidence. I hope he'll be far enough along for he and Glennon to push each other.

I am sooo glad the OP started this thread. I had no idea Trubs had 13 starts in college.

We all know there's a bit of roll the dice with this pick but the tools both physical and mental seem to be there. High character guy that's not a wuss. Pace and we know a few others liked him enough to be drafted there and hopefully we don't have this draft position opportunity again. Unlike others, I don't think he'd be the top pick in next years draft but believe he'd again go in the 1st few picks. It was just great to see Pace make sure he got his guy and to have a potential franchise player at the position after years of guys that didn't develop or were retreads.

I'm sure Pace starts cackling every time he read that leading up to the draft and still now. Be glad he made the media and the rest of the NFL fall for Mike Glennon.
We probably don't get Trubisky otherwise.

Funny thing is that he toughed out a situation where most everyone knew he was the more talented QB rather than transferring.
Would it have been better had he transferred to a ND St type school and put up #'s like he did at UNC?
He did exactly what would have been expected 15 years ago. Waited his turn and when it came he played great. Strange how showing restraint and loyalty is a negative in this day and age.
I think the UNC coaches knew they would have Trubiksy no more than 2 years and hoped to ride Williams until the end and then MT for his Jr and Sr years. They didn't bank on him going from nobody to the #2 overall in one season.
Much ado about nothing.

That has no bearing on it. Obviously I am purely speculating there. But make no mistake, if that was Mitch's way of sending a message without words there is no chance in hell he hurts his draft stock by saying anything negative about Fedora keeping him benched and of course Fedora is going to use Mitch getting taken #2 overall as a feather in his cap. Fedora also had nothing to gain by being opposed to any decision Mitch made. I highly doubt he gave a shit about a guy that kept him on the bench and was the #1 frustration for him in college.

That's not why your thread disappeared, at all. You just happen to suck at posting is all.

I agree, however he brought Trubs in several times to save his aass when Williams was playing horrible. Against Delware for the second half is an example. He also brought Trubs in to win a few games at the end with his arm. So I disagree with the experience angle because Trubs was playing in big moments and under pressure prior to starting last year. And he was clearly good enough to start games for UNC, but overall Williams but a better fit being a dual threat. I bet Florida would have started Tebow over Tom Brady for the same reason.

Hey, some people make 100 mock drafts while some complain about the unknowable like the OP.
He's right about the lack of experience (DUH), but it just sounds overly whiny and pessimistic in May.

I love it when people post drivel and immediately bail. Why are some of you bothering to respond?

No, it's not possible. I don't have a dog in this fight. Stop sucking at posting and things may change.
Pro tip: Speaking in absolutes about the unknown is a sure fire way to stay in the red.

Biff proves otherwise. Well, as long as you whine to the mods enough that they end up "fixing" your rep for you and nerf the entire system while they're at it...
