Agreed. He needs to be able to do some sort of audible and call out of those stacked defensive fronts.

Where the hell did this Kyle Fuller kid come from? Damn...he’s looking good today. And Amos is playing like a SS should.

We missed on Ahmad Brooks earlier this year ( he ended up with GB). My vote is unequivocally and unquestionably YES!!!!

In the context of ‘better at longer passes’ I mean to suggest that Watson was like Trubisky starting out with doing more short and choreographed passes. With time he’s getting more comfortable with the longer range and longer read passes. I don’t know of anyone that wanted to put Prescott or Watson up for HOF consideration this early; maybe except for those living in Texas. I would certainly categorize them both as serviceable and perhaps starter quality QBs. Which for Chicago (based on our dismal history at the position) would almost be HOF worthy. I’m still of the opinion that although the Dallas Oline is considered top notch then why is Elliott only getting 3.7 yards a carry this year as opposed to 5.1 last year? And although he did end up with the most overall yardage last year, our very own Jordan Howard came in a close second? This despite starting four games into the season and having an inferior line?

Funny, was just reading a reponse on another string about how Wheaton won out over a player like Thompson probably because of money. Then this happens...what a joke. Someone else pointed out that although his draft picks are still being judged, Pace’s ability to adequately judge FAs leaves something to be desired.

Agreed. I’ve made it known I think (or thought) that Thompson could’ve been a better contributer overall than some of the others at his postition. He did have some impressive pre-season stats with Trubisky which you’d think would weigh into his being given the chance. That and he’s a decent return man on ST.

Another thing that will help; and this will take more time for Trubisky to play/develop but, once he gets more time to look off Safety and corner coverage the deep game will come along too. Right now most of his passes are quick reads mostly by design but also partly by necessity. It’s appatenr that even while rolling out he’s able to watch the receivers develop their routes and determine which to go to. Think Watson a few weeks ago where now he’s getting more used to what he’s seeing and becoming that more effective especially in the longer passes.

After an initial hard criticism of Trubisky and where he was drafted, I’m beginning to warm to Mitchell as a legitimate QB (this coming from someone who still likes Watson). I’m not still convinced our team needed to do what they did to get him but what is done is done. Watching the Biscuit in his first start I saw flashes of Manning, Rodgers and Cutler. From listening to Gruden describe him, he said Mitchell has the meticulous preparation not seen all that often. Which to me means he prepares similar to Payton. His calmness while playing seemed very Payton-like with his ability to look over the field without panic written all over his face. He has the elusiveness similar to Rodgers and the accuracy to boot. To Cutler he has the pure arm strength. All of this boils down to Trubisky being a force to be reckoned with. But to put a point to my appreciation of Trubiskys play I would highlight that touchdown pass to Miller. Watch as he rolled out and seeing Miller was covered as he went right Trub simply took his thumb and beckoned Zach to reverse course (although the defender saw it too and was able to deflect the pass). I’ll be honest that was probably the coolest thing I saw him do during the whole game. That single moment told me he has ‘it’.

Well I’ll be. Who came up with that trick play?

Hey ‘Bears 4 ever’, whattya think about O’Donnells QB ability? Lol???

Allright Jason, they need to draft an OT first round next year. Preferably not a Carimi or Williams style though.

Who the hell is this stud Kyle Fuller? And did I say I love me some Christian Jones?

I was actually talking about the D but yes the O too.

Wow if only no penalties? Where would our team be right now?

Why the hell is our JV team better than the Varsity? Lol

This is the zone offense talked about but never used until now.

For the record, I love me some Christian Jones.

Is John Fox a rookie coach? Letting Trubisky go out and get a delay of game call? WTF?

This... and Deonte Thompson are my top receiving picks.

Because I’m drinking some Corona and eating some home made Quesoritos; is there any question how good a coach Dave Toub is? Tareek Hill just ran a punt back for another TD. Hester 2.0

PREACH!!!!

Im actually taking time off to watch the game (game starts 4:30 here). May have to invest in some Maughivelian(sp?) for a victory toast!!! (So I hope) Really look forward to tomorrow night. (As I watch Watson impress on Sunday night).

For what it's worth, I was more a 'post-draft displeaser' of Trubisky. Although I made no secret I liked Watson better, The Biscuit is starting to grow on me and I really hope for him to succeed. Our team needs it.

I'll drink to that.

Says the guy who used several stanzas to write 'some think he should wait, others think he should've started immediately'. LOL At the end of the day, who cares? He starts Monday.
