I've posted pieces of this information in different threads...I thought I would collect them here....
I know some here exclaim him a bust....some say wait and see very few say he will be the man......
We all want him to be up to speed and throwing TDs to win games.....
This info was for my own edification of what Trubisky is actually doing and how or if he was truly getting better....
I decided to post his stats from week to week to include completion percentage, number of times he left the pocket and ran, and his yards per attempt...
I also decided to count the number of throws where he had a clean pocket and got time to set his feet when he threw and whether he threw with good or bad technique and what his completion percentage was.....I did not include super quick screens or passes that could not require time enough to plant or rollouts and passes on the move....only clean enough pocket passes
Week 1 Green Bay
14 good throws and 10 completions 71.4%
16 bad throws and 9 completions 56.3%
7 scrambles for runs 4.9 Passing Yards per attempt
week 1 Trubisky looked uncomfortable in the pocket
Week 2 Seattle
14 good throws and 10 completions 71.4%
8 bad throws and 4 completions 50%
5 scrambles for runs 5.9 passing yards per attempt
week 2 was highlighted by more designed rollouts and less pocket throws
Week 3 Arizona
18 good throws and 13 completions 72.2%
6 bad throws and 2 completions 33.3%
2 scrambles for runs 6.3 passing yards per attempt
week 3 included more attacks down field...Arizona blitzed more so Trubisky had to leave the pocket more often
Conclusion......I doubt numbers will change anyone's minds, especially given Bears fans emotions surrounding the QB position, but I see slow, steady progress....Trubisky is much better when he has time to plant his feet (like most QBs) and I see him doing this more often from week to week on his pocket throws.....also, after week 1, the coaching staff is mobilizing him from the pocket a little more.
