Second-year progression
At the end of the day, second-year progression seems to be a theme much more prevalent than a sophomore slump in today’s NFL. Look no further than last season with Jared Goff and Carson Wentz. Jameis Winston jumped to 9 wins and Marcus Mariota saw his team go from three wins to eight.
Teams are understanding how the salary cap works and are using the rookie contract to make life easier for their quarterbacks. It should almost be expected for Trubisky to make that similar jump this season.

The quarterback room was once one built to prop him up. Now, the room is his. Chase Daniel and Tyler Bray as non-threatening as possible. He has complete control.
He is the leader of the room. Trubisky has the maturity, and athleticism to make plays happen. The skill players and the coaching staff are in line and were brought in specifically for Trubisky.
The signs are pointing to a breakout season for Mitchell Trubisky. Time will tell if he is able to live up to the expectations.
