My favorite teams
Caveat: I have no time to add my thoughts to the thoughts here. Mods merge as you see fit. I'm not a pussy and am fine with it. I just wanted to get this out while I coukld before I do job stuff.
Also, I am going on memory and do not have Game Pass.

Week 1 was a travesty for Trubisky in my mind. It just also happened to be a travesty for the defense and Fangio and Nagy as well.
But he had missed the Robinson TD, didn't read the Cohen TD nor the Burton TD (don't even bother. I watched it in real time. The DB is to the right of Burton by a wide swath and Trubisky has enough zip to not only beat the DB but throw to the left of Burton and low insuring an easy score).
Yesterday against a fairly weak defense (excluding Patrick Peterson and Budda Baker and Chandler Jones. Overall still a weak - average defense made weaker by an offense that doesn't give them a friggin' break) -
anyway against this defense, Trubisky overthrew a Gabriel TD, threw behind Robinson for what would have been a TD, threw over a WR going deep when Peterson was in front of him as if Patrick Peterson was the intended receiver and the WR was trailing as a defender where a back shoulder underthrow for a big gain is begging to be thrown.
He is not going through his reads, in the 3rd or 4th seeing a WR one-on-one missing a TE wide open for a big gain underneath. And even then, he throws it with the DB right in the WR's breadbasket forcing the WR to try a hug-around highlight catch but failing that to bat away the ball when the DB had a btter chance at getting mitts around the ball.
I think there were 3 - 4 times his inaccuracy caused WRs to twist their bodies off the routes they were running and go for the pass break-up.
And that's not counting the potentially game-ending INT possibility Boston had breaking on Robinson as Trubisky was throwing across his body.
This kid did have two good plays. the twist out of a sack and run for 9 yards and I liked the deep completion to Robinson. His only accurate deep ball of the game.
But other than that his play sucked. And he is missing reads and missing big plays that are there if only he was accurate just as much as ever before.
Nagy is earning patience with me due to owning teams in multiple games with TOP, number of first downs and dominating in total number of plays overall. His percentage of drives that are double digit or nearly double digit is impressive.
Trubisky is much harder to be patient due to him playing just as poorly as ever with no signs of growth at all. There is no equivalent stat or context to stats that point to a strength he has to build upon.
Nagy's ability to dominate teams in TOP, first downs and total plays is augmenting Trubisky's struggles with growth and in a 3-game set it doesn't look to be getting better yet at all.
PS - I am not - nor ever have been - comparing him to other young QBs nor saying this projects to the future. I only refer to games played and I only compare him to his own throws he failed to make vs. his own throws he makes. I also don't believe in excuses. It is his first year with Nagy but a lot of this shit is NFL 101. You can't tell me Loggains and his QB coach last year weren't even drilling him on reading, going through reads etc. First, that is highly unlikely. And secondly, there can be no evidence to support that claim. This has nothing to do with "Nagy-ball 501 grad school". It really doesn't.
PPS - Even if you do think "Nagy O 501 grad school level" is messing with him and making him forget his fundamental NFL 101 shit, fine. Just remember, in grad school you still need to pick up your study game and overcome. And he hasn't yet. He is being carried by the "study group" he is working with right now (defense). It works for now, but he is going to have to get better to ace the exam. Because right now, he can't as far as I can see. Ball's in his court.
