Why is it so bad to think he played well? He was throwing it well early too but lots of drops. |

Right now I'm convinced he's overthinking things and only plays well when he shuts his brain off, which is not a good long-term way to grow at the position. |

Simple Mitch looked phenomenal in the 1 read offense. |

I know I'm not the football expert here, but wasn't that how Mitch attacked in the Eagles playoff game? Turned his brain off, found a corner that was jumping the route and targeted him over and over again, hitting Robinson each time. That wasn't going to happen in every game this season. |

One game doesn't mean he is having a good season. He just played well yesterday. |

sounds like the lions played mostly man coverage yesterday... why would you plan man against a QB who cant read a defense? |

However, the Lions were giving up over 400 yards of offense per game heading in to yesterday, and (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky managed to throw for a whopping 173 yards. O'Donnell had nine punts. Nine times the offense failed to get something going against the 31st ranked defense in the league who had a bunch of guys out with injury and were playing 3rd and 4th stringers by the time the second half came around. The bar has to be set so much higher for Mitch and the offense in general.A better QB would have easily thrown for 300 yards and put up 30+ points. The Bears did have some drops that hurt him, and there was some offensive line issues, but all this showed is that Mitch is merely an "OK" quarterback. I'll crush a drive and stick an iron to 8' and birdie a few holes here and there on the golf course. That doesn't mean I'm a good golfer. It means I can play well once in a while but likely not over the course of the entire round. Which is what Mitch has shown this season. There are flashes, but he is not the guy to play well enough for an entire season to take the Bears deep into the playoffs. |

If Stat Paddford plays the Bears lose by a touchdown. But they really wanted to open Club Dub up again, I guess. |

Just because Millennials want something to mean something does not mean that it does. I would have also accepted it to mean that he was releasing from his grip several "10-rated" beautiful women, but not this. This is a clear mis-appropriation by an idiot. |

I kinda think it’s been around in the football world for a while now. The term has also been used for well over 20 years in the basketball world. |

If you are talking about a point guard dishing assists, I would accept that also, as assists are commonly referred to as "dimes" due to an an above-average game for a point guard being when they accumulate 10 assists or more (Note: 10 cents equals one Dime in U.S. Currency). |

I think you’re argument is an old man yelling at cloud critique. I don’t know how much more it can be spelled out for you that dropping a dime = Good pass. Please tho, carry on. |

Nagy and others talk about the drops, but on the flip side, there were passes that were caught that were not great throws. |

He wasn't that much better than Driskell. He played OK. He protected the football, and the TD passes were great. It was also the Lions who were about the worst defense in the league yet the Mitch-lead offense punted nine times. I'm more interested in what Nagy has to say about Mitch and the QB position in general after the season is over. |

You know he'll essentially give Mitch a blowjob right there on TV in front of everyone. It's his first head coaching job. It's his last head coaching job. |

Last week Kirk Cousins got a touchdown pass on a throw he was clearly throwing away.It would be best if we just judged him on his overall work, which at least for one game was good, instead of feeling the need to put down the good plays he made. |
