"In a breakfast with reporters at the Arizona Biltmore in March, Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy issued a challenge.
“If you watch our season and you watch every play that we had – and you can take out the runs – just go through and watch the pass plays,” he said. “You’ll see how much Mitchell Trubisky grew. I think you will.”
Challenge accepted."
"Consider these conclusions from this exhaustive film study:
Early in the season, Trubisky had success with comfortable scripted plays early in games, but struggled as teams adjusted. By the end of the year, he was playing his best football late in games.
Against the Rams, Trubisky struggled as the Rams surprised the Bears by going against their defensive tendencies. Two weeks later, when the 49ers tried the same strategy, Trubisky adjusted and had no problem diagnosing their zones and beating them.
The improvement on third down throughout the season was remarkable. By sticking to comfortable “bread-and-butter” plays — ones opposing defenses could see all over the Bears’ film and still couldn’t stop — Trubisky showed poise and accuracy on third down, an underrated part of his growth in 2018. Two of these performances came against the Vikings — the top third down defense in the league."
This is a long article that breaks down each game and a lot of the throws that ended up mattering in those games good and bad. It's a long article, and a good read, and it doesn't end w/the quoated conclusion so I suggest reading it all; but the conclusion is what matters.
And here's the thing, and you guys know I love Kollman, but Hoge knows the Bears and Mitch and has inside sources on the team. Kollman can breakdown the film like no other, but he doesn't go beyond the film. Hoge can. There is zero reason to think that Mitch won't be the guy he was at the end of last year, and should continue to improve from that. Schedule is tougher but overall you should see a better Mitch.
