Who will be the number QB 1 for the start of the regular season?
Mitch wins the starting job, question is will he be able to keep it based on his play?
You can win with him but this is likely you will not win because of him!Quote:

I love stats. I love analytics. I love metrics of all types and kinds.
But, unfortunately, I have seen Mitchell Trubisky play NFL football. And other than one half against Green Bay where he looked like a super-star, Trubisky looked confused, unable to read defenses, flummoxed by post-snap movement, and prone to stretches of inability to execute fundamentals.
I expect turnovers and punts. An exciting number of them!
I agree for the punt...But he is not a turnover machine(37 interceptions in 50 starts)...He is just very innaccurate for both team!Quote:

If you are right,I don't think that Tomlin will be much patient with this and he will be benched!Quote:

very trueQuote:

Pending the record and timing…
Trubisky gets injured, short term it’s Rudolph, long term it’s Pickett…
I think Rudolph is gone if Pickett shows some competence in preseason. I just can't see Pickett not being active on game day. Trubisky seems like a durable guy so I'm going with poor performance opening the door for Kenny to step in -- about week 5-6.Quote:

the good thing about all that is we can remain hopeful , the bad thing is all we have to go on is what we seen in the past in terms of play calling from this OC ....
Time will indeed tell in either case ( or should I say both cases as we don't even know if this is a true NFL offense YET.... )

It's possible now that Ben is retired, our offense will change....It's the perfect time to change our offense.Quote:

I am just hoping the WR scheming that we saw last season (ie not able to get them open) was just a product of having Ben still here, or that something was learned to fix that issue. That really was my main concern not Ben related.Quote:

Stats after day 1 in:
Early Overreaction Time.Quote:
Mason Rudolph: 7/9 46 yards
Kenny Pickett: 4/7 21 yards, 1 INT
Mitch Trubisky: 3/7 10 yards
Why did we sign Trubisky in Free Agency when we already had him?
Welcome to the Quarterback desert.
Not even close at 5 yards per pass attempts!...In fact it was barely over 5 yards per completion!Quote:

I'm not going to make a final judgment after only one practice without pads but if it doesn't change during the regular season, it will be depressing to watch once again
Hey... if it ain't broke, don't fix it!Quote:

That can't be too much to ask for can it? Which is why the Trubisky signing still baffles me. We already had him for less. We'll see come day 2.

I think that is easily answered. Between the two, even after four years as a starter and five years total in the league, Trubisky still has a lot higher ceiling than Rudolph. Rudolph is a career backup/scout team QB. Trubisky's ceiling is probably a low to middle tier starting QB. I'd rather have the latter as a backup than the former in the situation we are in now. That said, if Ben was mid-career, I'd be fine with Rudolph as the backup.Quote:

Overall, these are his stats(game by game)in his career if you're interested

The supporting cast of the bears in offense were below average and much of their win was mostly because of defense. You can win with him, but you probably won't win because of him.
A lot higher. When we first signed him I said the same thing. I thought basically he and Rudolph were the same quarterback. After watching some film on them both, Trubisky is a much better quarterback.Quote:

So many interceptions today in practice!
I’m not gonna worry about it. BUT that’s what practice is like when you have bad QBs. These 3 just aren’t very good. There’s this thing or that thing that COULD happen that would MAYBE lead to one of these dudes being good. But that’s betting against the odds.Quote:
