Over-rated and under-rated Bears

+1,000
And what frustrates me is how some fans figure Trubisky has to be a "Mahomes" or "Aaron Rodgers" or "Brady"  -- or else he was a bum pick in the draft.  I wish they could just appreciate that it's okay to have a guy who is able to help the team win a championship here.  That doesn't mean he has to be Mahomes.  Just be a damned good Mitch Trubisky.  A guy who doesn't fall apart like Cutler or Grossman in big games.  Just be football savvy guy, accurate with the football who you can count on to consistently keep the team in games - and not single handedly lose games for us.  I'll be happy as a clam if Mitch is that guy.  If Mahomes turns out to be better (or any of the NFL guys who are the darlings of the NFL right now) I am okay with that.  

I loved watching Mahomes in games this past season due to the fact I just like watching good football players.  But that doesn't lower my liking of our QB Trubisky.  Heck, I like watching Tom Brady too, but that doesn't mean Mitch has to be a GOAT quarterback to be a great Bears leader and QB here.  

I share your frustration, JABF.

My God, people need to SLOW THEIR ROLL on Mahomes a little bit.  Yes, he had an amazing season last year and put up great numbers.   Yes, he's clearly a talent.  Credit where credit is due.

But..................

He benefited from being 2 years straight in Reid's system (Trubisky had Fox to 'learn' from his rookie year).
He had an amazing cast of weapons (a stud RB, an All-Pro WR, and an All-Pro TE).
And he played on a team whose strategy required high scoring to win (the Chiefs defense was leaky as the playoffs exposed).

It wouldn't surprise me to see Mahomes take a step back this year.  Opposing teams are going to make adjustments.  The KC defense looks even weaker to me now after some key losses this offseason.  And Mahomes has lost 2 of his 3 big offensive weapons.
