Where do you stand on Mitch Trubisky?
Mitch Trubisky made clutch plays, but at the end of the day the offense did not score enough to win this game
Everyone is going to remember the final drive by Mitch Trubisky. He took the team straight down the field, threw two clutch passes and got them into field goal range. Having a quarterback who made clutch passes at such a young age has to be inspiring.
However, it is fair to question his play based on the first three quarters as well. The defense gave up a game winning drive, but they only gave up 16 points. In todays NFL, you should be able to win the game if you hold someone to 16 points.
Credit the Eagles, they held the Bears to 15 points. However, it is tough to walk away from this game and not think that the Bears could have scored more points. Trubisky made clutch passes, but early was making deer in head light passes. He almost threw an interception to Avonte Maddox in the second quarter and almost threw an interception in the end zone right before the half as well.
In between, a quarterback who was excelling on third down was looking confused on third down. He got the team a 15-10 lead and the Bears defense got him the ball back. Then, the offense went three and out and punted the football right back.
Mitch Trubisky is young. He took huge steps this year, and showed some of his maturity on that fourth quarter drive. However, before that drive he showed that he has a ways to go this offseason. He still has a lot to learn at quarterback and has to get better for this to take another step.
So while many will be confident because of how he finished, it still feels like a C performance more than A from Trubisky. It still feels like there is a lot more that can come from this offseason if Trubisky can step up and take advantage.
