Yeah but Fox wanted Watson, and Mahomes was being compared to Cutler. No way they were gonna pick him. That article you linked to said no QBs were worth the third pick basically. Well suck it NFL the Bears grabbed him with the second.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who realizes this. NO NFL team would have taken Mahomes that high.

If the Chiefs drafted Mitch (like if we took Patrick), i guarantee that Andy Reid would have him light years ahead of where he is now. We've pretty much ruined the guy.

We will never know if mitch could have been better but i think you make a very excellent arguement that the Bears screwed up his growth

Fun Fact.
3M started the season against 3 of the worst defenses in the NFL and still managed to lose his job after shitting the bed against the Falcons.
I would have no problem switching back to 3M at this point to see if he learned anything on the bench but throwing out these stats are meaningless because they were accumulated against terrible fucking teams and despite those terrible fucking teams, 3M still played horribly for large portions of most games.

Honestly, based on their college performances, had we drafted Watson or Mahomes, either one of them would have likely become Jay Cutler 2.0 here.
Which is still better than Trubisky.

Watson would probably be on his 3rd set of bionic legs by now behind this line.

One Thing I will say, Mitch can out run a Nose tackle!
With Foles, it is a never a sure Thing.

Mitch would just run into a sack from someone else

Ummm I don't see how u can say he doesn't still have a shot....if he lands where someone actually uses his skillset, he will develop and become better. Acting like its impossible is comical.
Its funny that people want to ignore when Mitch has played good, is when Ravens, Bills and SF type of games where called.....Dallas was one last year. Now imagine someone using him like that consistently.
Unfortunately he was with a pos coach who, has failed him and this team at every turn. We don't have the players to run his scheme and he continues to push forward that they can...hence his inept offenses and riding a super bowl defense for victories.
Will Mitch be great...heck no....but damn sure can be a middle tier QB u can win with, who makes plays here and there. Nagy is the biggest issue and Pace hanging on to him, will cost him his job.

Wonder if Mitch is miking his injury to get out of Chicago healthy and leave this terrible franchise at seasons end.

what if the problem was not just mitch? For me he was solid in 2018 and then in 2019 he sucks. Coincidentally its when nagy decided to go away from Mitch’s strengths and run his offense.

No one said it’s just Mitch. Doesn’t change the fact that he’s a huge part of a huge problem

If Nagy basically wanted to turn him into his latest gimmicky freak show with no regard for his body, I sure hope the fuck he is.

The fuck some didn't. There was plenty clamoring that all Nagy needed was a competent QB that could run his offense.

It most definitely is not just Mitch. The point was others being at fault does not absolve Mitch from being shit himself.

You should definitely try to give the QB all the tools to succeed but talent is talent. Look at Burrow. Is he in the best situation? Fuck no. But he’s playing well. Why? Talent and ability. Mitch just isn’t very talented. At least in terms of where he was drafted. He simply does not have the arm talent or the accuracy. It boggles my mind how a professional QB drafted in the top 5 can’t even throw a fucken spiral
