Great, so it's Shane Matthews or Kyle Orton all over again, only with the hype and front office protection of Jay or Rex. The end result is still the same: a team that's going to rely heavily on their defense because the quarterback doesn't play well enough to be trusted. Maybe like Alex Smith he too can start playing at the level his draft position would suggest for another team years down the line.
His biggest mistake tonight was forgoing Miller and Robinson for Burton and Sims. But on the list of "reasons why the Bears lost" that is not even in the top 5.
I saw the same happy feet in the pocket that's plagued failed Bears quarterbacks for years. Where you saw him running as the result of conscious strategy on the part of Nagy, I saw a guy who was looking to run cause he couldn't throw accurately while feeling the least bit of pressure.
Again, you see a guy getting 6-8 yard chunks and think its a bad thing. Would you rather he force it into triple coverage? You didn't see enough of that with Cutler?!
Miller needs to learn how to come back to the ball when plays break down. He actually started doing that near the end of the game, but he's a rookie WR in his first game. (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky also needs to learn to trust Allen Robinson's ability to go up and get it. Gabriel and Burton were huge let downs, Sims was so bad they should probably just use Braunecker as a blocking TE until Shaheen gets back.
Sims was terrible in this game. He was given perfect passes and it was like he was playing without hands!!!!
