It's not just the fucking line, dude. Nice try.
Right now, Foles isn't producing any better (an arguably worse) than Trubs..

Oh really? You haven't watched all three of those quarterbacks throw Special person interceptions in the face of pressure? What exactly do you think happened last evening when Nick threw an INT? His entire offensive line was a turnstile and all 4 men were on Nick's ass in seconds.

fact is fellas we likely could have the exact same record if mitch played or maybe 1 game worse or 1 game better the glaring issue is this
The problem wasnt the QB the system and talent around it is the issue not the guy behind center

Although he has had years where he has put up good numbers, to me, Foles has really never been a numbers guy. He just wins. He finds ways to win.
Remember back when he beat us during the playoffs when he was with the Eagles?? He hung in there, hung in there, did not play particularly well and then boom - when it counted - victory.
The coaches trust his mind more than they do Trubisky’s. They also trust that he will find more ways to win than Trubisky will.
Last point:
Foles has faced the cream of the crop defenses in the NFL this year.
Trubs has faced the Little Sisters of the Poor of defenses - among worst in the league.

This is all true, however, Foles still has an advantage when it comes to recognizing defensive coverages and putting the offense in better position to execute plays. That's why he's out there, although, you would have hoped it'd come with better results, in terms of stats, than it has, so far.
The Bears problem right now, I think, has more to do with their inability to run the ball effectively than it does with their quarterback. We are going on 3 years now with this offense where we have a joke of a running attack. That is unacceptable. No quarterback is going to be effective in an offense THAT one dimensional. Until they get that figured out, it doesn't really matter who their quarterback is. I still lean towards Foles, because of his intelligence, but if that's the case, then he's going to have to stop turning the damn football over every game and start putting the ball in the endzone more.

One play.... He gets good protection and he still will throw lame ass throws. Remember the playoff game? If Eddie Jackson plays he gets 2 picks on those lame duck throws. Wait until December. His throws look like 43 year old Peyton Manning.

The play with the pick, I was talking about. I dont disagree about horrific Oline play. But, there is a reason he got benched for Minshew. He is not a great QB. Lucky SB win and MVP be damned

Yeah the problem with this nonsense is that is that Foles can throw for under 200 yards and still help the offense score 23 points
With Mitch his 188 yards gets us one score maybe two and we lose both the Bucs and the Panthers game .
Foles leadership, toughness, and football IQ are still good enough to help his team to points even when he is not that sharp .Mitch's sloppiness in addition to the lack of these skills all but crippled this team offensively on more than one occasion.
Foles so far seems to be giving this team an opportunity to consistently score more points now that doesnt mean we do but we are certainly getting more chances which is a good first step . Now going forward we need to start keep the pressure on more and creating more splash plays although the last 3 defensive opponents have a lot to say about that .

Not really strange. A mobile QB will always make the run game stronger, because teams have to account for the QB in the run game. See Buffalo and Baltimore for example. Same is true for the pass blocking, because Foles is a statue and Mitch would escape some of the pressure that Foles can't.

To be fair, Carolina is the hardest team to throw deep against in the league. They play zone almost exclusively and don't let the ball behind them. The Bears didn't even attempt to throw deep yesterday for that reason. They'll take shots against the Rams.

True....best you could say is 50/50. You will never know if Mitch would have lost or beat Indy in that game.

Both of those teams can throw it and that opens up everything and they are actually run first teams going all the way back to Lesean Mccoy and Ray Rice the difference is that they now have much better playmaking passers at the qb position then they had in the past
