Yep exactly what I said when I said this is Mike Glennon/Mitch Trubisky all over again but this time Mitch is the struggling vet. When Trubisky struggles for a few game the rookie will be put in.

So why were you so lenient on Trubisky but not Cutler when he went through the same issues ? Matter of fact Trubisky had a much better core of players when he got here compared to what Cutler had when traded here. Could it be Mitch is a mental midget who can’t handle pressure ?

There has always been a very vocal group of posters on this board who discount skill positions and , next year will, no doubt, find a linebacker or offensive lineman who deserve to be drafted first.
When you do this year after year, the result is the historically pathetic Bears passing game. Will the new regime see the light and prioritize giving Fields some elite weapons? They haven't so far in the draft or free agency.

Trubisky may hold that job the whole year to be honest. Claypool, Johnson, Pickens and PF are good weapons so Trubisky wont be throwing beyond his first 2 reads a lot within the pocket.

I see that the Steelers are the first two CBS noon games up here in WI, so I can check in on him next week during Bears breaks, watch the whole game the second week.

If Mitch struggles please don’t tell complaining Steelers fans that they’re not real fans and that they don’t know anything about football.

I understand the hesitation for WRs. You can get Jeffery or you can get White, either way the Bears probably aren't going to pay them beyond 5 years. If you accept that you would also accept a high pick RB is worth it because how long their career lasts doesn't matter if we won't pay for talent long term on offense. Once you do that there's no more room to get top defense to be held without flags and get made up penalties.
Depends on how the oline is this year and how high of a pick but I could see oline first. It should've been first instead of Smith, that may have saved Trubisky (probably not because Nagy) but it definitely would've helped Fields.

For Trubisky at his best, with a stable of good receivers and an O line playing well, check out his six TD game against Tampa in the 2018 season on Youtube.
He's been the object of a negativity by a lot of people who parrot the company line on this message board. He could do well in Pittsburgh.

And with Nagy, a bad oline and few if any WRs, all of which was a problem his whole time here.
Then there's the tweet I posted on the Steelers, and Steelers fans are also complaining about a bad oline. 40yds in the air, which CCS QB trolls said he couldn't do. Hit the WR in stride, which CCS QB trolls said he couldn't do.
OK, it's preseason. It may have been the only read he was given and thus his first read. But if it's not possible for him to do it then he couldn't have done it preseason or not. The QB trolls have been proven wrong.
It is very likely Tomlin knows more than a bunch of sociopathic trolls on CCS and Nagy.
It will be very interesting to see what a good team that believes in having an offense and a defense can do with him.

Grossman lost his mobility to dings and was clearly the better QB while Kyle was sitting. Kyle finally got his act together and became the better option. Neither were Franchise players so never understood the continued butt hurt over it.
AS for Mitch, his ball looks better and the deep ones are finally turning over but you can't fix stupid. A few plays before that he lost 2 yards and took a sack running OB without flipping the ball forward for no gain like any competent NFL QB will do after a year or 2. I give QBs with potential until early year 3 to overcome their issues. This is year 6.
Watch the 1st 30 sec. of this and you'll see him take that sack and another with over 3 sec before going down. There was an easy escape lane to his left. All the physical ability in the world but visionless/braneless.
He's a fine stand in for a year if needed but he's not a destination.

LOL. You spend months pretending to have me on ignore and your first reply to me is a gotcha because of a singular pre-season throw. One of the saddest things ive seen on CCS and that's saying something. No one cares what trolls are saying and no one cares about one throw(a throw he has made as a Bear too). Look at his body of work and look at what the NFL market thinks of Mitch. Last year he could only get a backup job on a team he would have zero shot of seeing meaningful snaps. This year he got a small contract by a team in transition from a HOF qb and they drafted a small handed QB in the first round, who the universe believes is going to take the job from him at some point this season.
If Mitch was so great than everyone wouldn't have been wondering who the Steelers starting QB was in the first week of September. But take that "QB trolls" aka people who knew Mitch wasn't a franchise QB.

It's what should have happened here last year if it was decided that Fields wasn't #1. #2 is no man's land for rookie QB. LIke I said, Mitch is the kind of QB that you can be happy with until your franchise guy arrives. Fringe starter, place holder that will get a lot of reps before he's done but he'll frustrate OCs with his decision making and game management.
I suspect the QB decision was whether Picket would be the #1 or #3. Let Rudolf run scout and Pickett learn the O and get tweaked.

Grossman lost his mobility, or willingness to use it (he seemed to still have it running backwards) before Orton gave the hint that he was the better QB. There was no getting his act together because memes told you so, there was slow learning with limited practice towards the goal of being backup and no chance of being anything but backup which was made clear by Lovie. If there was getting an act together it magically coincided with the anointed status of the QBs going away and the #3 bringing out the BS that had been going on, BS that is not exclusive to the Bears, which was my point, but just like any mention of Cutler the QB trolls can't be objective even years later.
Neither were the guy so yes, why the continued butt hurt and excuses claiming the one who couldn't cut it anywhere would've cut it in an alternate history? Fact is with a real QB whisperer Grossmana was no better, but when given a real chance Orton was better on multiple teams. That's not saying either was great, that's saying there's politics at play and it that goes on all around the NFL.
There was no struggle for Trubisky because he was hired to be the starter. That may have been with or without the goal of Pickett or someone else in mind. Any struggling came from Pickett trying to change what was pretty much set in stone, which as you point out was Trubisky 1, Pickett 3.
In your video you see QB failure. I see Steeler fans know a helluva lot more about what an offense is than Bears fans who blame the QB for everything on the team.
Yes he should've thrown it away instead of losing ground, but it's preseason with a better coach. We know it's false to claim it's impossible for him to throw it away because he occasionally did it here. As far as him seeing an opening out the back of his head, I don't know about that.
Continue watching your video and you'll see other QB troll claims proven false. Although it's what many of us saw in 2 minute drills when he was here so hopefully Tomlin figures it out and does what Nagy should've.
And there you go again with treating tarot cards and predictions as fact. Fact is he did what the QB trolls convinced people was impossible for him to do. Fact is also it's preseason so all it says is that it is possible not that he's going to be a great one in a real season, we've seen it before.
Fact is also Tomlin knows a lot more than CCS trolls and Trubisky is his QB.
What I find intriguing is watching Big Ben with the mobility of Orton in a cast and he pretty much stared down where he's going or the ball is out so fast it's going to a predetermined spot and it works because of proper coaching/practice. That's not saying Trubisky will be better than Big Ben but he could be in a perfect spot to prove who he is. Tomlin doesn't have to change much from what he's used to to make Trubisky work. If his real game accuracy isn't suspect he may stick.

Picket is actually #2. The first release of the depth chart was wrong.

I hope he doesn't just get thrown into the fire unless he's actually that ready.
