Here's a live shot of Rick every time Mitch hits a pass of more than five yards in non-garbage time situations:

Rick has made this observation exactly two times in three years.

Take the L today, unlike (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky.

I understand you don't like (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky but you can't hate on him for a game where he throws 3 touchdowns, no picks, and his team wins.

Performances like that are what gives the slight glimmer of hope that he'll figure it out and why your idea about cutting (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky this offseason even though it had no cap savings was a bad one.

qtrs 1-3 were an excellent summary of all of his faults and why whe'll never be a franchise QB. if swift doesnt drop the TD the conversation is very different.

I agree he is unlikely to have a successful career in the NFL but there has to be a reason he is really good at times and yet he struggles so much early on in games.

The problem is that being that inconsistent as a 4th year player likely means you won't ever figure it out regardless of the reasons why but there pretty clearly was something really good there but I think Nagy did him no favors by taking away what he does at an elite level and trying to turn him into the quarterback that Nagy wants rather than the quarterback with the best chance to succeed.

Mitch does well in the 4th quarter because he doesn't have to think. They go with the hurry up offense and he takes advantage of prevent defenses. A good team would have finished him off in the 3rd quarter though. The Lions did everything possible to let him get comfortable.

You're missing the forest for the trees here. We've been through this before with Trubinsky - against Dallas and a few other teams last year, etc. He seemingly balls out and makes people like you go "hey, wait a minute here, if Nagy just does this or that, and if Trubinsky still does this or that, and if Robinson just does that, then we might have a competetent QB here! Yay!"

Meanwhile, fans less emotionally attached to Trubinsky realize that he's just a highly erratic QB who's impressive peaks aren't representative of him just as his terrible valleys aren't necessariy representative of him either. You have to take the highs and lows together, not just zero in on the highs and dream. That's what you're doing, you're fundamentally a dreamer when you talk about "glimmer of hope" this far into the guy's career. Cutting your losses is most definitely the right move.

I'm not missing anything. We get an extra year of looking at (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky for free this year based on how his contract is. That's it. He gets credit when he has a good game and he did yesterday. At the end of the year, we can analyze his whole season and decide if he deserves to come back.

What does this even mean? Who is ignoring his lows?

I would tend towards cutting your losses at the end of the year too at this point, but it was completely wrong to not want him to come back this year on a free tryout to see if he does improve enough. Even if it's a 1% chance of that. Add in the fact that he won the QB competition against a guy who was worthy of spending a 4th round pick for and it's even better.

Your problem is that you seem to think because people think (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky has a chance to be good based on some of the good things he does that people think (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky is a future hall of famer. I'm going to enjoy it when (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky plays well and give him credit for it.

It's not worth the argument. He's gone after this year and I don't think there is anything he can do to change it.

That 4Q probably got him a good contract as a backup somewhere as that is a skill you wold look for.

The Bears could have been up by double digit points at the half if Mitch were accurate. He's a reason they stunk.
