Hypersensitive like claiming Mitch wasn't an NFL Quarterback after seeing him play a few pre-season games? Cause you declared it dude.
If Daniel knows the system he's been in for years, and can run it smoothly, how come it looked pretty inept most of the game vs the Lions? I grant you Burton was garbage, but Daniel didn't look very smooth. I mean, do we really need to give a guy 10 years into the league the same patience as a rookie?
Oh yeah, Mick declared it, slowly started walking it back, and now suddenly is back full force now that Mitch is hurt.
Talk about emotionally unstable.
Anyway, I think the Bears are fine if they rest Mitch versus the Giants and there is some truth that the defense is the one carrying this team.
However in terms of long-term potential, anyone with a brain knows Chase Daniel is not the answer. Even taking away the run factor Mitch brings, Mitch is also far more elusive than Daniel and can extend plays the way really good quarterbacks can.
Not to mention he is improving week by week when he's out there. Mitch isn't making the same mistakes and where he's struggled is against top defenses in the league, which isn't a shock for someone with his limited start experience.
What is encouraging is that he isn't making the same types of mistakes he did early on.
And on top of that, this offense appears to be able to hang 30 points on average to bad defenses even with all the struggles.
And speaking of struggles no one seems to want to factor in the fact that you have not only a quarterback that had limited college starts and prior to this only played one year in the league under a crap offensive system prior to this year, but also has a brand new receiving corps who's also learning this offense for the first time. You don't build that type of chemistry in one offseason. This is very much a working progress. and if they can hang 30 points on a work-in-progress where a quarterback in his receivers still aren't completely on the same page yet because they're still learning the offense as they go, let imagine what's going to happen in years two and three when everybody's been in this offense and knows it backwards and forwards....
Great things are coming for the offense, and it's a blessing this year that the defense is playing the way it is while the offense figures things out and finds itself.
