This, also because Mitch can't make multiple reads to save his ass. Last yr, if Read 1 wasn't open, he'd take off running and it was enough given the awesome D the Bears had. This yr, I think Nagy tried making Mitch stay in the pocket to make another read instead of running and we've all seen Mitch just can't do it. Coupled with a weaker OL, a banged up defense and the offense sputtering the first couple of months, Nagy had no choice but to abandon making Mitch better and go back to making things simpler for him (Not exactly a ringing endorsement for Mitch to be a special player). It's worked the last 3 games more because of the opponents' bad defenses than actual progress being made by (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky.

Green Bay's defense is supposed to be better than the Giants/Lions/Cowboys so next Sunday, we'll see if it's legit progress.

Mitch deserves more credit than he’s given but slamming Watson to make that point just makes you look like a moron.

Weird, I see Dolphin looking in my asshole

Caller Bobabooey will be along shortly to make some sort of silly "Good Cocksucker" remark.

Agreed.

I think we need to just evaluate Mitch on his own merits and stop the comparisons.

That is 100% correct.

Dear God,

Give Mitch (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky a good offensive line and a tight end please.

Thanks,

I don’t agree with the ‘making things simpler’ -I prefer to look at it as Nagy changed what he was doing because it doesn’t fit Mitch’s skill set. Nagy had all season last year to evaluate this and improperly decided to keep forcing Mitch into a situation he didn’t fit into. Yes, better defenses will make this look different, but better defenses make all offenses look different.. and at least using Mitch to his strengths will give the team the best chance possible on offense win or lose.


And aside from Mitch, there’s just been poor game planning and play calling to go along with forcing Mitch into a situation that isn’t a good fit.


Agreed on the O-line being bad, which doesn’t help things at all.

i'm more in line with thinking the #2 pick of the draft should be the reason you win games.... and you shouldnt have to place him in the perfect situation just to coax decent play out of him

Name a top draft pick who has come into the league with a shit offense and had success?

Kyler Murray transformed Arizona's offense from one of the worst in recent memory to middle of the pack offensively.

The new coach transformed the offense. Murray implemented his instructions

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

HoF WR and a really good and possibly elite RB.

Carolina was dead last in total offense in 2010 both in yards and points, then Cam Newton arrived and they were 7th in yards and 6th in points in 2011. In 2010 and 2011 they had both steve smith and dangelo williams and the same exact offensive line.

edit: it does appear williams was injured in 2010 but i think it is still an obvious example of a QB instantly revitalizing an offense.

The Bears have NONE of those weapons. I'm looking for a QB who came to a team when the cupboard was bare and had success.

Well you have gotten 2 examples of teams with literally the worst offenses in the league that turned it around immediately with the addition of a top pick QB and you have invalidated them both because apparently those 32nd-ranked offenses were too good.

Weird, I see Dolphin looking in my asshole

Do you think a 36 year old Larry Fitzgerald is elite?

Weird, I see Dolphin looking in my asshole

Russell Wilson also inherited a bad offense and immediately improved them. That crappy 7-9 team that flipped to 11-5 his first year probably doesn't qualify either.
