Trubisky is looking great during his rookie season. Looks like the Bears have found themselves a franchise quarterback!
To be fair, the critics are not completely incorrect. Trubisky has taken a step back this year, he's been making poor decisions and his throws are not as they should be. Similar in a way that Baker Mayfield has regressed a bit.
I spent a bit of time watching Trubisky in the Saints game and a couple of things stood out. He seems to be locking in on his primary receiver rather than looking off, going through reads, etc. This is the kind of thing that dooms black quarterbacks, so I was surprised that it was so obvious. Also I find the offensive scheme to be a poor fit. When Nagy was in Kansas City as the OC for Alex Smith, the offense was much more option-based. Trubisky, being a good runner like Smith, should be in this offense. Nagy must think that Mitch is a Joe Flacco-like statue as he doesn't have hardly any of the same elements in this offense. Or it can just be that Andy Reid did most of the heavy lifting with playcalling and offensive scheming while Nagy was in KC. Which makes Nagy an unqualified fraud.
Yes, this post is entirely correct. A white player has a much shorter leash than a similar "diverse" player. As noted often here on CF, it's just another salvo in the war against whites.Well, I agree that Trubisky has not played particularly well this year and played better last year. Nevertheless the mainstream media has gone completely overboard, very early in his career, to tear him down. Their reaction is out of proportion to the situation. Heck, they called him a bust early in his rookie season.
Then came a good second season and they quieted down. But now, at the first opportunity, they're back to tearing him down again.
They would never treat a black quarterback this way. Instead they would ignore anything negative about him. They would treat him with kid gloves and not say anything.
Trubisky is still a relatively inexperienced quarterback. Because of the caste system he was only allowed to start one year in college and it's only his third year in the pros. It's too soon to write him off yet many members of the mainstream media have already done so.
I'll go on the record and say I am/was a big Trubisky guy during his time at UNC and advocated for him to be a 1st round pick. He had to endure a racial apprenticeship behind an avg black quarterback and only started for one year. He was drafted and played his first year under the terrible John Fox.
Don as you stated why aren't the Bears taking advantage of his athleticism. Perhaps due to his injury but prior to his injury they did not allow him to run either. Meanwhile black quarterbacks are utilizing TEs and throwing short balls to wide open WRs in the flats and considered "revolutionary".
I do if you consider that Smith was also fast and highly athletic but the coaches rarely designed plays to highlight those attributes either. Smith and Trubisky should both be exciting duel threat QBs but it seems like the CS will only allow blacks to occupy that space.I don’t see the parallels between Smith and Trubisky.
His last year in KC they had him running quite a bit, 60 on the year, plus many Russell Wilson-like rollout plays where he threw deep. Which is why it's also surprising that Nagy, who was the OC that year, has not done the same with Trubisky.I do if you consider that Smith was also fast and highly athletic but the coaches rarely designed plays to highlight those attributes either.
