The Chicago Bears should be excited about the confidence Trubisky has in himself.
Mitch Trubisky continued…
When asked about getting his fifth-year option declined, Trubisky stated that he wasn’t surprised and expected it based on his play. Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes aside, Trubisky seems to care about how he plays and how people view him, which can be harmful and useful. Its good that he is aware of what he has done and is doing. Trubisky just needs not to let the outside noise and his interpretation affect his outcomes in each game. Trubisky knows that he as more to give then what he has given.
Trubisky’s ultimate goal is to get the team to the playoffs with a better record than 8-8. In his text messaging group, he focused on texting players that he knows are in town to get together. Trubisky focuses on what plays they have gone over in their group meetings to working on route concepts and timing to stay on the same page.
What I have seen is that Trubisky sounds a lot like Mike Glennon with the “this is my team” statements, but he follows that up by stating he needs to show that the offense and team need to run better when he is on the field.
To me, that shows that he is confident that he can make everything better than what he has shown in the past. Trubsiky wants to motivate his team and become that player that when he is on the field that the team gets excited about knowing that they will win the game. The front office talked to Trubisky, unlike when they had Glennon that they were going to bring in competition for the starting job. This season is the first time that Mitch Trubisky has had a new quarterback coach.
Trubisky hasn’t yet been able to work with him in person but feels that John Deflipplo and the other coaches have a new, improved way to improve Trubisky’s mechanics and fundamentals to make all the throws he needs to make.
