He's also the least experienced qb in the last 2 years. Guy had next to no college starting experience; it's why I didn't want the Bears to take him. But they did, and now they have to deal w/the growing pains. And it will take more then 16 nfl starts to deal with it. My neighbor(more a college fan then pro fan) put it well, it's like he went from pee wee to college ball, the jump is stupid complex, and on top of that he has to learn a complex O that takes at least 2 offseasons and 1 season to learn(per mahomes); smith said it took him several years to get comfortable with.
Mitch is going to struggle most of this year. I won't get worried until the end of this year and the first part of next year.
Trubisky may turn out okay, and I 100% hope he does and I DEFINITELY have NOT given up on him. But right now the game looks too big for him. Experience may certainly change that. But to say he is a dead-bang certainty to make it in the NFL is premature at this time. He could still end up a bust. JMO. He stares down his receivers... locks on the option #1 and often that is "it" for the play. He'll force the ball into coverage. His accuracy (supposedly his strong suit when we drafted him) is not very impressive and certainly not consistent.
He has a long long long ways to go. His next start will be his 16th. Yes he played under a coach last year that we hate. But honestly, I was thinking yesterday that after roughly a year of starting for the Bears he looks like a Kyle Orton level QB. I get it that he SHOULD improve over the next few years. He may. He may not. I am waiting to see it happen.
He's better then Orton. But he looks like where Orton was his first year or so; which is why the Bears had him as the 3rd stringer sitting and learning. He's FAR more mobile and athletic, probably a similar arm to Orton, not a rocket, not a noodle.
