Thank you
This tape shows me that Mitch is improving and is playing with confidence .
His deep ball accuracy is a lot better
He’s not taking as many check-downs and is looking down field
He’s not panicking when the pocket breaks down
He’s played well down in the 4th and OT.

Still sailing stuff early in games. Need to figure out how to come out of the gate and be as warmed up and calm as he is after he's thrown 20 passes in a game. Nerves or something.

I think we need to stop making broad assumptions off of 5 games. 2 of 5 games he's started out blazing hot (Packers and Bucs).
Remember when he couldn't throw left.
Remember when he couldn't throw against pressure.
Remember when he wilts under pressure.
Remember when he always has happy feet.
Remember when he always over throws deep balls.
How about we remember when Nagy told everybody this is going to be a work in progress. The progression is already 10x better than expected.
If you disagree, try to remember when John Fox was here.

He sailed passes early in the Tampa game, too. Has he not sailed a few passes early on in every game this year?

I remember when I would be happy just to see a bears QB complete a pass to his own team.
How you guys have been spoiled living in the moment. This man is already playing like the best QB the bears have ever had, and he's what, 17 games into his career?
He isn't perfect, no QB is, and he will always sail throws because every qb does it every so often. What is 100% reassuring is he isn't sailing those throws to the other team like cutler had a tendency to do. Mitch has had ball security for the most part, and that is refreshing from a bears QB.

There is clear progression and development that you can see from week to week. That is at least 10x more important than any win or loss this season.

I think that's over stated for this game. 1st pass was over 3 defenders right there. If he throws it to the guy, it never gets there. Gave it shot but erred the correct way and didn't hit that 1 foot downfield window it had to be in. 2nd one was partially on Miller and why he's facing Mitch and backpedaling when he jumps for it. Mitch threw it as he was breaking past the defender like he's on a go. Miller starts to turn around and settle instead when he sees the ball is already in the air. May not have been caught if he had stayed on the jets as Mitch expected but it would have been close and maybe perfect. Can't see it in the clip but it was obvious in the live replay.
He did not have the type of throw this game as you described. Not sure he should have thrown that 1st one over three defenders but he made the right miss. 2nd one was him and Miller on different pages. Miller settling into a gap when Mitch had already seen him breaking though coverage and was aiming for an in stride hit.
I agree about the other games but it's become fewer until this game when I really didn't see them as that type of miss.

Agreed, you didn't mention the throw to Cohen who came back for the ball but Mitch actually anticipated him going deeper or staying put. Mitch also had pressure in his face on that throw.

All that said, he had a couple stinkers as well but not the type discussed here.

He definitely has looked better with each week.
The only problem is he's good for two mind-numbingly dumb throws a game. That pick in the redzone was a fucking killer and then he almost threw a second pick late across the middle that was almost picked by Reshad Jones.
He's gotta stop doing that stupid shit. Every time he starts looking back across the middle for his 2nd, 3rd of 4th read my stomach drops.

Not so much for me unless he's under heavy duress like the throw you mentioned. That bothered me more than the pick. He needs to throw those away instead. I like that he's less conservative now and trusting WRs to defend one on ones when needed but he hasn't found the sweet spot yet.

He is still a young QB in a new offense, but I really like some of the things I see. He trusts his receivers more and more. The biggest things I see to clear up are a couple dangerous throws in the games and sailing a few early....
The early passes just seem to be a little amped up for the game because he has settled down after that.

People need to chill about the RZ INT... he simply didn't see the Safety.
IMO, the worst throw was the almost INT that he lobbed up to Cohen deep across the other side of the field. That was dumb.

I've already posted it several times before. Mitch admitted to not seeing the defender on his interception. Shit happens. He made a mistake but he wasn't forcing anything. Simply never saw him. As mentioned before I was more worried about a near INT he had than the interception itself.

I have not watched the entire thing, but charted the first couple of drives.
The overthrow to Miller in the middle of the field was bad.
I didn't have an issue with any other throws. The first pass which is too far in front of Robinson, there are like 3 trail defenders, he needs to put that low and outside and hope Robinson can extend. A pass on to Robinson's body is too dangerous with that many defenders on his hip.

That was dumb.
Robinson or Burton might make it less dumb, as they have the size to at least play DB, but probably not a risk that we want.

Why are people still analyzing every single trubisky throw???? The last 2 games have been wildly successful for the offensive side of the ball.
Watching a game and picking out the 2-3 throws that we’re bone headed or missed is asinine. Every single QB makes a bad throw, misses an open receiver, or sails one in every game. It’s ridiculous to expect any player to go out there and play the absolute perfect game. Just stop.
