The DEFINITION of QB Development

[remydat]

I agree he was below average, but those are ratings based on an entire season.

Jared Goff: 101 rating, 3 sub 80 rating games, including a 49
Russell Wilson: 95.4 rating, 5 sub 80 rating games
Kirk Cousins: 93.9 rating, 4 sub 80 rating games, including a 31

Alex Smith, who led the league in QB rating 104.7, had 4 sub 80 rating games

Most of the QBs on the list with really good ratings have multiple games where they have below average ratings. They just have had an entire season to pull their rating back up.

Most of those guys are veterans and have more consistency in their games than we should expect from a younger QB.

He needs to maintain a higher level of play than he did in weeks 1-3, but that seems to be the trajectory that we are on.

Hence why the whole premise of the OP is dumb which is the point. It tells us nothing. The only thing that will tell us something is when we see how he performs for the remainder of the season.

I agree it could be an anomaly.

But, I think we have probably seen his worse 3 game stretch of the season as everyone was getting into the offense. I find it difficult to imagine as he continues to figure things out that he will consistently be below those 3 games. I think simply based on Nagy play calling improvements that we will see improvement in Trubisky's numbers.

Pure speculation right now which you are free to engage in. I will just wait and see how it unfolds as I don't see the need to speculate. The truth will be revealed one way or the other.

It is misleading because a 101 rating can give someone the impression he was good in most of those games. The reality was he was below average in all but 1 game. Timing can come and go. Will need to see if he really has solved his timing issues or whether it was just a one game anomaly.

You have to look at the trends. Mitch’s timing started to get a little bit better, each game over the last, prior to the Tampa game.

Then in Tampa game, it was markedly better than the prior 3. But it’s not like he wasn’t improving prior.

He had good accuracy and timing in a few games last year ad well. It didn't stick.

You need more data than 3 bad games and one awesome game to call something a trend.
