Huh. Isn't he supposed to be a bust that isn't showing any improvement whatsoever? :thinking:
A bit misleading given last 13 ridiculously inflated by a 6 TD game.
I would rather he look consistently good in those 4 games rather than play poorly in 3 out of 4.
In any event, let's see how he builds on this.
No, thats watson. Downward spiral
He got it from Twitter. If you take out all the touchdowns from Trubiskys last game he is still showing an 84 rating. So he’s still improving.

Of course he is. Some just like to be contrarian. You also don't get to add or throwout games. There was probably a weak opponent in most of those 4 game mixes. 101 is probably somewhat inflated but you want him to end up about there to become what we hoped he would.

He had a 77.2, 83, 73.5 in the first 3 games. The point is the last game obviously inflated his stats and gives the indication of a vast improvement when in fact it was just one ridiculously amazing game and 3 mediocre to bad games.
Just like if he hit a 95 in rating over the next 4 games, are we going to seriously then argue he regressed even if he consistently was above 90 in all 4 games? Of course not because that would represent greater consistency even though it is less than the 101.6.
So the point still stands, it is a very misleading statistic even if it is true. Let's see if last team really starts a trend or whether it was just a blip 0n the radar.
It is not about throwing out the games. It is about the volatility in the numbers. 3 mediocre to bad games followed by 1 exceptional game is not really overall improvement. Again he had a 77.2, 83 73.5, 154.6. Keep the last game but let's be honest in the discussion and recognize the last game right now looks like an anomaly or outlier. It is not statistically meaningful until he can replicate it somehow.
If he had 97, 104, 97 and 107, that would be more indicative of overall improvement even if it averages out to a lower QB rating. Improvement is measured over several games not having one ridiculously amazing game and then 3 duds.
If you are looking at just rating then 77, 83, and 74 are not bad games. Mediocre/average yes, but they are not bad.
By not having bad games he put himself in the position to have an exceptional game boost his rating.
But in the end his rating is his rating. I do not see too many people putting context to the ratings of guys that were used to compare and bash Mitch 2 weeks ago.
This is what we have been saying when people were getting so upset over 3 games that the sample size was too small. It is still too small going in the positive direction.
While a 154 is a bit of an outlier for Mitch he does have 3 games with an over 100 rating and another at 97 in his career.

Bears fans are famous for self loathing and hating their QBs....hard to blame them with what we've had.
But, if fans just sit down for a minute and really look at what Trubisky is doing and how he is getting better, even they would be optimistic....
more like what the organization has done to the position rather than what they have had. looking back you can hardly put the issues on all 30-40 Qbs the team has destroyed over the years. in hind sight the issue was the teams lack of hiring aggressively at the GM/coaching positions. they always wanted yes men/ retread coaches taking advantage of fans loyalty.
