The Downfall of Mitch Trubisky: The 2019 DISASTER 😱

This week’s film breakdown analyzes Chicago Bear's Quarterback Mitch Trubisky. After being drafted over Patrick Mahomes in 2017, Trubisky has become one of the most polarizing players in the NFL. Trubisky followed up a promising 2018 season, with a disastrous 2019 performance. What happened? This episode uses the all-22 coaches film to analyze Bears Quarterback Mitch Trubisky.

Nagys offensive play calling did not help Mitch at all. Mitch having only 1 year starting in college shows. Mitch plays better when he can run and extend plays. They made him into a pocket QB last year and that is not what he does best. Watch the games where he makes plays with his legs, he is a totally different QB.

[@nathanielperryii296]

He is literally playing in the same style of offense as the Chiefs. He is not really. He still makes bad decisions. There are so many easy options in that offense. For example, I can't remember what game, but he had a good run, but he had this easy pass that could have gone for more yardage. He can't read defenses and he can't process the whole field. His best year his first read was open a lot. This last year he was forced to play QB. I can't remember what defensive player said, but he said that was their plan. To make Mitch think.

[@jeffwhitney3369]

Haven't you realized by now that having the ability to make plays with your legs as a QB is a huge advantage...but also worthless if you can't stand in the pocket and make a pass now and then

Tbf Mahomes was seen as a project pick at the time and I think if he was removed from Andy Reid, Alex Smith, and the Chiefs we might not have gotten the version of Mahomes we see today. (Not to say he would have floundered, but the early years are massively important in the NFL for long term development) Now Watson? That dude had superstar written all over him. How the Bears could have possibly justified putting Trubisky over him is the real crime.

[@MrJerzeydevil]

tyler2114 Andy was a low key genius because he knew how to build around Pat. As a Bama fan, I watched D Wats get heated up by 12-15 NFL draft picks, minus Eddie Jackson...and he made every damn play and/or throw. IDK what drugs the bears were on.

Remember when the 49ers suckered the Bears in to trading up one spot to get him? Remember when our same 49er had Christian McCaffery sitting in our lap, playing in our backyard at Stanford and would have been a perfect fit in Kyle's zone scheme that also asks the HB to catch passes... and they drafted Solomon Thomas? Sigh...

[@yianni2267]

i agree but we needed a DE and although Solomon Thomas has not been a game changer and or elite he has been decent. It was a third overall pick if i remember correctly and spending that on hb is extremely risky even if it was Christian McCaffery. Looking back in hindsight it was the wrong decision because we will probably end up trading thomas sooner then later as he is a bust comparable to where he was picked and his output but at the time, but i understand the decision.

[@PaulGaither]

@@yianni2267 - I get it too, but it isn't hind sight. A lot of people knew that CMC was the real deal. The true counter argument is that Shanahan and Lynch both know to never over pay for HBs. That is why they have a backfield of UDFA and practice squad castoffs, yet we're #2 in team rushing behind only the Ravens who broke an NFL record. I get it, but I also was very against Thomas from the start. He had bust written all over him from all the film breakdowns I watched. It isn't like I am saying the 49ers should have "obviously" taken Mahomes. That is true hind sight and I won't go there. People were high on Fournette, and for good reason (and he went 4th), but the two guys I had my eyes on were CMC and Jamal Adams. When SF traded down, I thought it would be to get one of them.

[@yianni2267]

Paul Gaither I get you McCaffery would be perfect in our system it’s a shame we didn’t pick him. I did some more research into Thomas and actually it made the decision to pick him even worse, so many red flags. He was the best run defender in the nation at the time at standard according to PFF and we decided to convert him into a Edge Defender when he wasn’t good enough to fit that role. Our draft that season was overall bad

[@PaulGaither]

@@yianni2267 - Thank you. People call in hind sight in so many comments, but you can see that it wasn't. To be fair, on the field, Foster and Witherspoon were really good picks and they also got Kittle as a steal of the draft to make up for busting on Thomas. However, the mistake to draft Thomas at #2/#3 is the head scratcher. Ruben Foster had off the field issues which are bad, but it was a solid selection in terms of talent scouting and draft value. Spoon and Moseley are going to be our future CBs as Sherman ages. Jamal Adams would have been a game changer for our defense and the Jets got a stud there.

[@yianni2267]

Paul Gaither yeah If we would of got Adams we wouldn’t have all these links with us being interested and having to give a queens ransoms to get him. Anyway only up from here and we get back to Super Bowl to win that deserved chip

[@douglepong]

Insightful.. and sad. I hope he improves. I actually like the guy.. Improve his offensive line, and he'll improve his vision. Sign Kelvin Beachum, and drop whoever's not doing their job, and restore confidence back to Mitchell. Sign Javorious Allen, and consider dropping either Tarik Cohen or David Montgomery. Allen's got good size, and can push the line of scrimmage, block, or break a big gain here, and there, and in return take pressure off Trubinsky. I get that David's a bit thicker, and tarik's a little quicker so they both get used in different situations. But Tarik only makes big plays if Mitchell trubinsky opens up the field for him with his arm, which isn't happening, and David is the bigger back that should wear down a defensive line for Trubinski except he never does! Nick Foles didn't exactly do anything for Jacksonville. Which is essentially the bears team in the AFC. Your team could've had Jalen hurts if you were really that worried about Trubinsky. But maybe I'm completely off about the tight end that they drafted. Maybe management has something planned for a good blocking tight end that can stretch the field that no one knows about.. I doubt it though. The bears seem to mismanage their team year after year. Good luck bears... Good luck..

[@joshuatelem8796]

Playing QB gets significantly easier with a functioning running game. The bears didn't have that nor did they play well on the offensive line. When you combine those things, you put all the pressure on the QB to make plays. Doesn't mean Trubisky's a bad player!

The reason Trubisky has college-level footwork is due to the fact that he was barely a college-level starter, having really only been the starting QB for 13 games as a Junior. I liked Trubisky's game at UNC, but IMO for any team to have drafted him #2 overall and/or as the best QB on the board was an obvious mistake that the Bears are now paying for. He should have stayed 1 more year as the full-time starter at UNC - had he done so, I believe that Trubisky, and the team that would have drafted him, would both likely be better off.

[@Fissey_Gaming]

Can you do a film review on Gardner Minshew and how he became a steal in the draft

[@sloebone7399]

Mitch as a starter was still 8-7 last season despite missed kicks, a horrible line and a shoulder injury the required a brace and surgery after the season. He only had 10 picks in 15 games. So yes they went from 12-4 to 8-8 but with a couple good kicks and a Chase Daniel loss that could have been a win they were potentially 11-5 or better. So it wasn’t all that tragic and Mitch was not the bears main issue.

[@davidmurray5399]

The tragedy was that the Bears traded away Jordan Howard and 70% of their running game. Trubisky doesn't come up with the game plan, he just has to try to execute it. Watch the game film and you see the O-line blocking like shit on play after play. The QB can't do everything.

After trading first-round pick after first-round pick and even saying he was more less putting his job on the line if Mitch didn't work out why is he still in Halas Hall? How many general managers get to choose four different quarterbacks for tons of money? ======= I was never a Mitch Trubisky fan, but I wonder if he was slighted because the guy that was supposed to play the first year of Mitch, Mike Glennon I think his name, he was so bad I can't even remember his name, but I recall Pace signing him to 18 million dollars, and thus Forced the Bears to play Mitch because Glennon and was so "stepping on his woo-hoo". And for the guys that say how much tore up their teams: your teams are just simply out of division stupid. If you saw the Packers and the Vikings and to some extent the Lions they made sure to keep a linebacker wide so Mitch could not roll out. When Mitch would roll out that linebacker Woodfire straight up the field at him taking away time and space. ===== A spare fans have gone from " Jay is going to throw us the ball " to "We want Mitch to play quarterback", both quotes from opposing teams with the ladder I know coming from a Green Bay secondary player.

I'll put it on the list

[@omitn2011]

AlexRollinsNFL Thanks! Love your break downs & as a Titans fan who loved Mariota, it sucked to see that regression yet excited to see how Tannehill THRIVED with the scheme

[@AlexRollinsNFL]

@@omitn2011 I remember studying Mariota years ago, might have been around 15 or 16 and he made one of the most incredible throws I've ever seen. Maneuvered the pocket brilliantly, and ripped it downfield. A lot of people think guys who flame out just suck, but that's false. Just hard to be consistent

[@omitn2011]

AlexRollinsNFL I completely agree. The injuries & the lack of continuity on the O-line at the beginning of the year certainly didn’t help. He just needs to be in a quick pass, RPO, PA scheme to thrive in. Hopefully he gets it soon!

[@josephwilliams5038]

The only tragedy of Mitch is that Ryan Pace even thought about drafting him. Hopefully, they make the correct decision of drafting Lawrence or Fields if a high draft pick but if they don't have a top 5 pick go after a quality QB like Prescott.

[@davidbluitt1394]

The bears are racist man they won't draft Field to save there life cus he a black QB and they too stupid to get Lawrence because they don't like drafting franchise QB they only like defense... Which is stupid I'm not a bears fan no more they racist could of got Newton too.. and they will have a chance to get dak too but they won't because he a black franchise QB

[@josephwilliams5038]

@@davidbluitt1394 Although it has been 7 or 8 seasons since Jason Campbell was on team and yes they only had 2 Black QBs in the last two decades. As for Cam... I would prefer Cam instead of Foles but the injury issues with Cam is a big flag. I hope can regain his Superman status but the injury factor is a concern. As for 2017, I think Pace is idiot for drafting Trubisky but I way the process went out I doubt it was because of racism. Lawrence or Fields would be great it means that Bears would have to throw away this season. I would love to see a proven QB as a Bear.

[@markyacullo2389]

Here’s the thing. I’m not a Trubisky truther, but the entire team last year went through a regression. Nagy couldn’t play call for his life. National Best writers have reported that “the Bears became predictable.” The week 11 play you mention wasn’t a potential 70 yard TD, Tarik Cohen ran a terrible route. He was always running towards the sideline last year because he had no confidence going up the middle due to his size. The receivers outside of Allen Robinson had too many dropped passes and bad route running (Anthony Miller didn’t look like himself until week 12 against the Giants). The O Line didn’t help the run game either. I think that’s what would’ve helped Trubisky even more was a more consistent run game. Montgomery could be a good runner if Nagy can include him in the game plan more often. You can’t win with Trubisky throwing 40 times a game, he isn’t Mahomes or Watson. Look at what the Vikings did with Kirk Cousins and the 49ers with Jimmy Garrapolo. Average QBs, but with an amazing run game. The defense will be fine, but the offense overall, not just the QB has to step up. I personally think Trubisky starts week 1 because a shortened offseason with no preseason is a disadvantage to Foles with no time to build a relationship with new teammates and coaches. But Trubisky will have a very short leash. The second he shows he can’t handle it, Foles will take over. As a Bears fan, the best case scenario is Trubisky figures it out and plays the whole season. He doesn’t need to be a MVP, he just needs to minimize his mistakes, trust his stuff, use his legs more often and focus on mechanics. Reading defenses isn’t easy, not everyone can be like Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady when dissecting an opponents, but he has to understand the basics. And Nagy better step up as a play caller. I truly hope a new coaching staff on offense will help. The Offense can only go up compared to last year. 🐻 ⬇️

[@NirvzHD]

Hard to blame the guy for getting scared to sit in the pocket in 2019. Seriously, you should do some film review on just Charles Leno. The O-Line was downright doggy doodoo. It's the same thing as when a QB leads receivers into open hits with bad passes. The receivers learn to hate those QBs. I can tell you Mitch detested that O-line. Not defending his poor performance which was obvious, but you can tell he felt like whether or not he was gonna get tackled was more on him being fluid in the pocket rather than good protection from the line, which is just a bad recipe for a QB unless you're mahomes or something.

I feel bad for Allen Robinson through all of this. On one hand he got paid, which the Jaguars should have done but you can't let the picture of health and consistency with warm butter for hands Marqise Lee walk, but on the other hand he got stuck playing with NFC Blake Bortles. Now he gets the picture of health, absolute pillar of consistency, has been wildly successful everywhere outside of Philadelphia, and thrived under every coach he's played for not named Chip Kelly or Doug Pederson: *Nick Foles.* I'm sorry Bears fans.

[@AlexRollinsNFL]

Totally agree DT, he was very frustrated on film after a play and was open quite often. Crazy how he's put up the numbers he has with Bortles and Mitch

[@dabbingtoast7743]

AlexRollinsNFL He isn’t Julio, AB, Hopkins, or Thomas but he is definitely in the tier right below them. I cry when I think of what could’ve been if Justin Blackmon hadn’t had a substance abuse problem when A-Rob was still in Jacksonville or what Minshew could do with a A-Rob/DJ Chark combo

[@Joneth_Piptne]

I know this video was two months ago but I had a epiphany about the Chicago Bears and Mitchell trubisky in 2019.... Trubisky basically play the same other than running the football which that was a part of coach Nagy decision to tell him that.... Also every receiver and tight end on the team including running backs failed to catch the ball other than Allen Robinson.... On top of that the defense dropped off horribly from 2018.... See trubisky play exactly the same other than the running early in the season but everybody else around him fell off so the disappointment wasn't trubisky it was everybody else.... Prove me wrong because he actually threw last interceptions in the same amount of games but he didn't throw us as many touchdowns as 2018 because couldn't nobody hold on to The Ball

AlexRollinsNFL the line has been neglected for a long while now. I still believe cutler could’ve been the guy if we protected him earlier in his career as well. Chicago has a habit of eating up their qbs. It’s hard to watch sometimes

I agree Trubisky got uncomfortable in the pocket, sped thru his throws, had bad mechanics, but there was growth as the season went on. We also know injuries were an issue. Even so there are some beautiful throws you left out to go with the bad, and honestly not enough film review. So I don't see the book as written yet with Trubisky and I also do not see Foles as the clear cut winner, even if he does, I don't see him playing the whole season. I see his career arch and ceiling similar to that of Alex Smith, I really think he just needs time, but make or break is now

[@RichMurrayGranite]

If there was another wide receiver that was viable and a better offensive line... Do you think he might have a better chance of becoming a franchise quarterback? Not to mention, inconsistent play calling by management. This guy is better than he is being given credit for. My concern is that he will go somewhere else where they have a real offensive line and a couple of weapons in the wide receiver core and be a much better quarterback. Then what will people say? I think he is massively underrated and he has not had the opportunity or weapons that other quarterbacks have had to play to their best utility. I'm not calling him the second coming of John Elway or Peyton Manning... But if you look at his actual numbers versus other QBs he really is not that bad and he has much less weapons to deal with. Not to mention the guy is still young he didn't get drafted in the first round because he didn't have any talent. Multiple other teams were eyeballing him as high as he went. Multiple.

[@Power-Ads]

I know your comment was a year ago, But i agree with your comment, I'm a Steelers fan and as you know Mitch is now the presumed starting QB for the Steelers this year, I really didn't know much about Trubisky before the Steelers picked him up. It will be interesting to see him develop under Tomlin and some decent wide receivers. I have seen the pro's and con's of Trubisky and feel he was sold short in Chicago and needs better coaching and more help from the offensive line. Time will tell, but I think hes going well with the Steelers

I agree completely. I’m happy to see him get a solid opportunity. He seems like a solid guy and I think he has way more talent than he has been getting credit for.

[@joemraz8129]

IMO mitch is a good qb if he's playing in the right circumstances, but that's one of his biggest flaws. The bears have never been good at complimenting their qb and mitch's confidence is so easily swayed. Example: Khalil Mack's first game when the bears played the packers, Khalil manhandled the packers and Mitch coasted, but once Rodgers came back and lead a comeback, Mitch froze like a deer in the headlights in the fourth quarter and lost the game. However, when they played the bucs, Mitch got hot and stayed hot, throwing 6tds. Or, the cowboys, Mitch started a little slow but once he got going he got going. I'm glad Mitch is starting the season but I think Nagy should decide whether or not to keep him as the starter after the third game

THAT is the 2019 disaster because those idiots never let up on the guy after that. No matter what he did, even when he won, they hated him and blamed everything on him for that point on. Those idiots are and their constant grating on him is what drove Trubisky out of Chicago. Nagy bought into that crap because Trubisky was not HIS guy. They never bothered to draft any offensive linemen for him, and then blamed HIM for getting sacked and berated him for not being a pocket passer. Foles worked out so well with that same line. I like Fields, but I hope NAGY falls flat on his face for what he did to Trubisky..
