Mitch has a 92.5 Qb rating in the playoffs. This slug dalton has a playoffs Qb rating of 57.8
To add on, Mitchell and Co. would of beaten the Eagles if it wasn't for Parkey ruining Mitchell's playoff clutch drive. Mitchell does have some drive that's for sure but many fans were already done with him because he was drafted way to high, etc. (true)
Then, in a way, MT kind of willed the Bears back into the playoffs with his return last season along with a really tired/overplayed defense and a stubborn coach that abandoned the run game that ALSO didn't know or have any idea who was gonna call the game and on top of having only a few days to prep for play caller changes last season 4 times!. You guys see where I'm going with this?
IMO, They scapegoat Mitchell so bad on black Monday, they had to save face and probably told George it's all Mitchell's fault, then Pace and Nagy turns around and signed Dalton to 10MIL and Foles is insurance.
Kind of funny btw...it's now the aftermath of Mitchell and now look at how horrendous this F.O really is.
