How dare you forget that 3 game HOF stretch with Josh McCown
Right now, Foles isn't producing any better (an arguably worse) than Trubs..

Could you imagine if he was the quarterback for the whole season! I hate doing it but he was doing things that Jay couldn’t

I mean Josh went on to be a nothing burger in every game he played after that for every team he played for but who knows, Bears FO has a problem with being loyal to starters

Mitch is the fall guy for the awfense.
it’s so bad that the o line coach theOC and the QB are now fired. However the things that are the worst on the team are the offensive play calling and the offensive line.
I get it. He’s not going to play QB in Chicago again. It’s better for both parties. We get to learn from our mistakes and he gets to learn from his. Nick Foles is the perfect guy to slum the offense into the playoffs.

Do you ever post anything relevant or useful? You’ve been doing the same act since CBMB. Also...”awfense”.

Which seems like the right move. I think you try to build something around Foles. You can't build around Mitch, imo, until he can read a defense. He might even be that guy who plays for 10 years and all of a sudden emerges like Gannon. When the game clicks for him and he gets enough experience, or the right system (west coast for him), maybe Trubs re-emerges after a long back-up stint.
Makes sense given he was raw and inexperienced. We rushed him. Its the Bears, we never know what we are doing.
But Mitch is loved enough in the locker room, and by meatballs, that the Bears need to win 1 or 2 of the next 5 games, or its going to take serious strength and conviction by Nagy to stick with it.
Might depend on if Foles gets battered and shell shocked or not, and we see how that is going.

Jesus the excuses for Foles playing like shit are stacking up.... this seems familiar, but I just can’t place my finger on why?

I guess you did not know that one QB faced the absolute worst defenses in the league (dumb Mitch) and the other faced a gauntlet of many of the top defenses in the league (Foles).

Jim McMahon was a great football player but he wasn’t that quarterback like Joe Montana, Brett Favre, Dan Marino, John Elway....those types..lol

WTF are you on about? The 1st post of yours that I quoted was comparing them even though you didn't name Mitch directly. When you say, " Nick is the better quarterback but it very debatable as to how much better he makes this offense.", the rest is understood. Your post was in response to another (xero) that did discuss Mitch by name. I was simply adding my take regarding this on a, you know, Bears message board in thread that is, you know, directly comparing them in the title.
This is not where Mitch is getting dragged just to do so. the comparison is what this thread is about. And yes, in a comparison thread, what Mitch has done the last 2 years against the team that Foles is about to face is noteworthy.
If that's not acceptable to you, maybe just move on.

Ya, he would have removed the shine from that awesome polish he put on a half dozen games.

been doing the same thing? Well not much has changed nan. We get a good QB then talk shit after we surround him with Leno and Webb and guys that don’t fit the system.
I can’t change because the arguments is still the same.

It's funny, some of the same people that say QBs like Mitch can't improve beyond where he is now are also some that loved Josh. Check his career stats. Didn't put up a 75 rating in any year of his 1st decade.

Dude, you must have missed a couple rounds or something. Actually what Mitch did the last 2 games is irrelevant. He isn’t playing. It’s Nicks team. Period. All we can go on, all I will be going on is this season.....for obvious reasons. The fact is the offense isn’t better yet. That is painfully obvious to see. It should get better because the quarterback is better. I’m not sure what you are even arguing about. You probably jumped into a conversation that you missed a couple posts with. If you want to make a thread about past games vs future opponents then be my guests. I’m sure it will be riveting. Tip one back for me or toke one up for me. I’m actually on your side.

Look dickhead, you objected to my post that was on topic and added fuck all to it, so piss off. I don't have a side here. Just discussing the QBs in similar situations in a QB comparison thread. And the O is better than last year or early this year even if the QB stats are not.

What makes you think he is good then? How can you tell if he hasnt been surrounded with the talent necessary for him to prove it?
