In the two weeks after he was selected as the surprise No. 2 draft pick, Mitch Trubisky took the Bears’ playbook and condensed it into 3×5 cards to teach himself formations and phrasing.
“Just hours on hours,” he said. “I pretty much don’t stop studying until I feel comfortable. And then I go to bed, wake up and do it again.”
He got to show his work for the first time Friday.
After meetings Thursday and a short gathering Friday morning, Trubisky took the field at Halas Hall to lead the offense at rookie minicamp.
“When I’m out there, they want to see me run the show,” Trubisky said. “So it’s controlling the huddle, controlling the line of scrimmage, knowing my job and just executing it to a ‘T.’
Thanks. Noted that the team is supposed to carry Glennon when he is their QB. Hope this team can do that or I suppose we'll get more of the same. Thanks
Most rookie/young QB's need their team to carry them, see 99% of every rookie/young qb in the history of nfl rookie qb's. Especially the ones on historically bad teams, ie tampa, cle, nj chi
Yeah but wasn't TB the last of the three stops that that rookie QB was on? When do you figure he's not a rookie any more? Is he still a rookie now on his 4th stop here with the Bears? Just asking cuz we brought him in as the vet ya know... I just want to be sure to know if any losses will be his fault because he is a vet or the teams fault because he is still a rookie and can't be expected to carry the team.
He played his rookie year(9 games) and 4 more games his sophmore year. Neither were times he was expected to start, and got starting reps in the pre season. And neither time did the starter win more or play better then him. Which might have been why those coaches are no longer coaching for TB anymore; and why at least 1 is no longer in the NFL(Lovie) not sure about the other.
We'll see how many wins and losses are on Glennon this year; that's all that really matters. I've had no problem pinning wins and losses on the team, or on a specific player(speicifcally the qb) in the past, and I won't have a problem pinning wins and losses on Glennon either.

Well, if Glennon wants to be a starter for the rest of his NFL career (not as a placeholder QB), he better do well...
