Why not Trubisky for MVP?

Because he’s not very good?

Sometimes the simplest answer is the best one.

He is better than you think.....

Why not Trubisky for MVP?


Do we really care? Playoff wins and SB is the goal. Right?
I could care less if Trubisky wins MVP

Zero chance.

Trubisky could have a Mahomes year and still wouldn't get it. The national guys hate the Bears and Trubisky too much. They will never not believe that THE TRADE was terrible, and they have to validate that opinion by Trubisky not being worth it.

The bigger question is, what would it take for a Bear to win MVP? It would have to be an incredibly good year for the Bears with an already-known star playing out of his mind. If the Bears were 16-0 and Mack had 25+ sacks, that might get them there.

So are you saying the MVP award is akin to a Grammy award? A popularity award?

Unless you just run away with it, you’re not going to win it if you’re not a household name or already a star, the vast majority of the time at least.

If it’s close between, say, Trubisky and Drew Brees, or Trubisky and Aaron Rodgers, you know who’s going to win.

There’s also the added fact that many nationally absolutely already have a grudge against Trubisky because they need to prove to themselves that the 49ers fleeced the Bears. If Trubisky won MVP, it’d put egg on their faces. They can’t have that.

Maybe, take it one step at a time. Maybe, he should learn how to do more than one read and take off running.

Maybe his guards will be healthier/better this year and allow more of that. Anyone bitching about his scrambles last year isn't getting it. Long finally has an offseason to get his shit back together(he looked like Jabba) and I expect good things from Daniels this year. I also expect better coordination of the O for all the players 2nd year in it and few better fit pieces. Monty, Patterson and a 2 armed AntMil.

I also think it's a bit early to talk about Mitch as MVP.

That is a tired and lazy take that has been disproven many times by experts breaking down his play.

He's not seeing everything and could get tripped up like most inexperienced QBs but it's always getting better. In his defense, WR routes and reads could also have been better. Takes a while (reps against) to know how to react when a D surprises you. I think Mitch needs to become more proactive. He was still in try to run what's called learning mode and forcing some plays.
