I don't give a shit. You think Mitch is the only QB in the league that has had to deal with offensive lines not giving him time to throw the play that was called? If this was just one game I would be willing to cut him some slack but he is averaging 207 yards per game in the four games that he has played from beginning to end. If this was Jay Cutler putting up these anemic numbers we would be burning him in effigy.
Mitch is in his third year. This is the make or break year. He averaged less than five yards per attempt today and has been an anemic 5.5 yards per attempt over the entire season so far (probably less after todays numbers get factored in). His rating is barely above his first year and he isn't rushing the ball like he did then.
I agree the offensive line play isn't good at all but he should be mature enough at this time to see what is going on at the line of scrimmage and should be able to audible out of what is there. Either he can't do it or Nagy doesn't trust him to do it. Either way, a franchise QB should be able to do this by the time he hits his third year.

He should be mature enough to see what is going on at the line of scrimmage? What the fuck are you talking about?
Yeah, Mitch should be mature enough to get the ball out accurately with 2-3 defenders in his face within 2 seconds.
It's astonishing really. People bash others for the Mitch apologist logic twisting, but others are so drunk on the Mitch hate that they are willing to twist the truth around to fit their narrative.
You say the offensive line play isn't good. Again, that is being incredibly generous. They were beyond horrendous and have been for pretty much the entire season.
Not to mention, we ran the ball what? 7 times today? 7...SEVEN.
The playcalling is so insanely unbalanced, it's not even funny. Nagy put the game entirely on Trubisky who's coming off a shoulder injury, that he is without question still hobbled by. Didn't even attempt to establish the run....again.
Mitch had a bad game for sure, but it should've been obvious to Nagy that the offense wasn't going to win the game on Trubisky's arm, especially with his injury. Yet, they continue to pound that square peg into the round hole.
If there were a legitimate option that would make the Bears offense better moving forward at QB, I'd be all for it. But, this offense has much bigger problems than Mitch. You get Cam Newton and it's the same problem. Not running the ball, over-reliance on the lateral passing, beyond horrific offensive line play, a ridiculous amount of mental gaffs from the receivers and backs.
