Me and Mitch played together at mentor high school, dude was another level of insane on the field

Say whatever you want about Trubisky, but the guy lead the bears twice to the playoffs in two of his four seasons with Chicago, and still has a winning récord despite all the crap, people and TV media say about him.

I think part of the issue is the Bears ... if there was less pressure on him and he had time to sit and maybe learn from a good Vet. Not his fault the Bears REALLY REACHED for him with such as high pick

He shouldn’t have played in his rookie year big mistake and now he’s a backup I do feel bad for him and bears fans will forever remember that double doink.

Not saying Trubisky doesn’t have shortcomings, but if you honestly think Nagy wasn’t also a significant problem, just take a look at what he did to Justin Fields versus Cleveland in 2021….

Mitch Trubisky gave us the greatest tweet in sports history.

I was at the Tampa game when Mitch threw six touchdowns. I thought Mitch and Matt were going to be bears for a very long time

With Trubisky, he had help from the Bears defense, but it fell apart on offense (average weapons, trading for Foles, offensive line). His bad habits stuck with him, and it's why he's a backup (I'm a Steelers fan, he lost us games with his play)

My take, he was drafted way to high, had hardly any college experience, and probably got big headed that when he started playing bad it destroyed his confidence

He actually had better numbers here than Fields did.

Bears fan here. Ryan Pace should be haunted by this failure for the rest of his life

The Bears have a unique knack for ruining young QBs. They're incapable of sitting them for a year, they prefer throwing them right into the fire and giving them a new offensive coordinator every season

Dude was literally running for his life the entire time of his last year

UNC will always be a basketball school

I love your video and your point on. I still think Mitch would be a great quarterback as a starter in the right system and support

Keep up the great work!

I love your documentaries. You do a great job.

Great video, Lauren! Mitch is my all-time favorite player, so yes- my bias is not something of which I am unaware, but I think the final chapter is not yet written for Trubisky. I look forward to seeing what lies ahead for him with the only organization that has ever treated him correctly- the Buffalo Bills. Thanks again for the vid, Lauren- loved it!

I love these types of videos! Lauren 🤩

I don't know if his offensive coordinator changed after his good season but that's usually the reason for a dramatic dropoff from a young QB. Which is why when you see teams do it you know that they are sabotaging their own team.

Wanna say a big THANK YOU Ryan Pace. It’s because of you that we have Ryan Poles as GM now.

So close to 100K...

Yay glad she back making videos… her and mikerphone are two of my fav nfl content

Trubitsky never worked on the off-season, he just went to parties. Also the head coach was garbage 😂

As a bears fan, we are the team qb careers come to die.

Simple, he played for the bears

Got damn my Bears know how to fuck up a QB I hope this changes on 8-8-24

I think if he didn’t get stuck behind Williams in college, or stayed an extra year to get more polish he wouldve worked out

Mahomes was not usually thought of as qb3 throughout the draft process.

Tarik Cohen - that guy was dynamic. He might have been a big reason why the Bears won 12 games with Mitch that year.

Great analysis of Mitch. The Defense helped him a lot in 2018 after that it was all down hill for him

As a Bear Trubisky has better stats than Fields.

Mitch was drafted into a disaster of a team and was expected to turn things around while deliberately being sabotaged by Nagy and have next to no OLine protection. Feel bad for the guy. Bears should have sat him for a year or two and developed him. Remember, Mitch didn't draft himself

Great video Lauren!

Great video Lauren! 😊

Great content and the quality is so great! Keep it up!!

Great video an breakdown on Mitch’s career Thank you

I’d debate about the rise part, the fall I get behind, he started mediocre for us and went don’t hill from there.

What “rise”? He didn’t really rise or fall he simply was wildly inaccurate at times and struggled against zone with some field processing difficulties. Ryan Poles reach on him like he did with Fields and is no longer the Bears gm for his bad decision making.

I think where Chicago screwed up with him was firing John fox. They should have kept fox 1 more year and let him develop trubisky. Ryan pace didn’t help either

Love the double doink. Go pack go.

Awesome video thank you

I agree with the assessment of Trubisky. However, if the plan was to sit him the first year then they should have signed a better veteran QB than Mike Glennon. Who just might be the worst QB I've ever seen.

Crazy to think Mahomes was there for the taking!

Saying that the offense had weapons in 2018 is being pretty generous.

Well done video. Sharing.

100K!!!! LFG LAUREN!!!!!

Oof... as a Bears fan, this is opening up some old wounds.

When was the rise part?

The Mike Glennon deal was all headline, no context, no substance. Glennon ultimately was paid $18.5 million by the Bears (no where close to the $45 million reported constantly)

Great video! You deserve my sub 💪🏼🤝

This vid has a rough like/dislike ratio, from analyzing the comments a bit try to focus on providing original analysis instead of reciting a course of events. Best of luck with your channel!

As a Bears fan, there really never was a rise to begin with. We were always trying to convince ourselves he was the guy, and he’s just not and never was a QB1

NVP's never die

If I had a Time Machine, I would go back to the 2017 draft and yelled “MAHOMES.” 😲 😲 😲 😲 😂😂😂😂😂

Not every Bears fans was expected it or was happy about it either 3:03

Mitch Trubisky had a rise? I always thought he was just insanely overrated. I mean, if i recall correctly, the guy couldn't even do a silent count when he got to Chicago. The only reason Mitch Trubisky had a "rise" is because it's physically impossible for the Chicago Bears to have a good QB. So they drafed him instead of Watson and Mahomes.

Do you do voiceovers for Bob's burgers?

I remember watching this guy in college and thinking he was gonna be a damn good starting pro QB.

Hey Lauren I hope someday you can do a video about Tutu Atwell.

It would be interesting to find out if any QB with so little playing time in college was drafted so high at such great cost and actually was a success. Even if you left off the last two items, I doubt there are very many that had less playing time and were drafted either first or second. About the only mistake they avoided with that draft pick was accidentally drafting the bottom most regarded punter when they actually meant to draft a QB. I have heard of someone shooting themselves in the foot. I've never hear of someone shooting all three of their feet before....

Bears have never built around a QB until now with Poles. I wanted to see Mitch succeed !

I've been a Tar-Heels fan most of my life growing up but if you told me who's was the greatest Tar-Heels of all time? It's Lawrence Taylor by a longshot as far as Mitch Trubisky goes I thought he was going to the real deal coming to the NFL as a 1st Round 2nd overall University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill in the 2017 NFL Draft but his best year was 2018 coach Matt Nagy won NFL's Coach of the year award because of Trubisky but ever since Mr.Trubisky has fallen of the face of the earth he's only been to one AFC Title Game while he backed up Josh Allen in Buffalo but when he came to the Steelers I was excited about him getting a fresh start but instead he's becoming garbage but now he's back with the Bills for 2024 let's hope for the best good luck 1:40

5:15 Not including Aaron Rodgers saying, "my knee" feels like a wasted moment.

Too bad he didnt work out for us in Pittsburgh, but no ill feelings at all. I wish him the best of luck wherever he goes. Also those we want pickett chants r extremely funny to look back on in hindsight.😅😅😅 We definitely ended up eating those words😂😂😂😂

I watch him from day one wasn't a bears fan but I noticed the offense was 1-2 bang ( very similar to russell wilson this year) Mitch couldn't really do progressions which was shocking but after a deep dive it made sense Nagy had a smoke screen offense meaning 2 or possibly 3 routes where just there they were meant to actually be thrown to... so guess what defensive coaches figured out something MITCH one had 1 side reads left or right. 50% of the field was dummy routes boom mitch regression starts or was it just who he was IDK but Nagy was exiled also so maybe Nagy was def part of the problem and so was mitch neva moving to a pro-style was a bigger issue

Post Bears He had a year as a backup under an All Pro in Buffalo and time under pickett in a solid organization. When he got his chance he totally failed. Too bad.

If that ball went through the post instead of a double doink- I believe Mitch would have still been here - he was so good in the 4th qtr

Mitch is good he’s really good, but Chicago didn’t believe in him, and they didn’t help him grow after 2018, Chicago can produce great defenses, and even receivers, but for a QB Chicago is the worst place to land. Doesn’t matter if your TB12, or mahomes, Chicago will ruin you, a new qb would have a better chance anywhere else, look at burrow and the bengals, Lawrence and the jags, Herbert and the chargers, or picket and the Steelers. Chicago failed Mitch Turbisky

What rise did he have? I don't remember one.

Without mentioning how great the 2018 Chicago Bears defense was, it really does make it seem as if Mitch was SUPERB that year to lead them to the double doink playoff loss

What you fail to mention is that shoulder injury was a torn left labrum...same injury Mayfield suffered two years later. Difference is Trubisky just shut up and played. Nagy threw him under the bus, then no showed a meeting with him post season....Nagy ruined him period.

Mitch should have been drafted in Round 3. He was always going to be a backup.

This video cuts like a knife for Bears fans. Damm you Lauren 😭

Ok but can we be real about his rise he was carried by what’s heavily considered a top 5 defense of the decade so he kinda couldn’t lose when the defense would keep opponents under 15 a lot

Can’t blame the quarterback to much, when your line doesn’t block or protect you for shit.

Simple truth: He never should have been drafted that high. With that draft position, comes heightened expectations. He's not good enough to meet those expectations. He's been with 3 teams now, if he was good enough to be a starter, someone would've given him that opportunity. Sam Darnold may be the opening day starter for a 3rd different team(NYJ, CAR, MINN)...Baker on his 4th team.... If Mitch was good enough to start, he'd be starting....stop with the excuses

Just look at it like this Mitch Howell do I have to keep going on

Jay Cutler probably knew a thing or two about being behind a bad offensive line!!!!

Cody parky cost us a lot of wins.

Hands and Fallen completely yet he's still in NFL quarterback and that's more than 99.9 of us can say he makes millions just sitting on the bench

Funny thing is, that draft year I was super occupied on buying a house and my son starting sports around 5 years old. I had Mahommes in my Fanstasy Draft his rookie season and didn't know who he was. Got me a couple veteran players for that young wierdo. Maaaannnn I lost that season bad and Mahommes averged 35+ all that year in fantasy. Haven't played fantasy football since. I used to be good at it, but Mahommes retired my career and then my Steelers got Trubisky...I knew it wouldn't work 😂😂😂

I liked him still better than Pickett

Trubisky has had persistently awful coaching and poor weapons to deal with throughout his career. The reason why his team thrived in 2018 was because the defense was carrying his ass.

Spoiler alert Mahomes play style did translate

Mitch never could read a defense and couldn’t get past his second read. He was never qualified to be a nfl qb

Can you do the rise and fall of Mac jones

12:43 you can make the case, that Matt Canada's scheme sucks aswell!

This is not good for my Bears ptsd.

2018 did not have weapons, the RB was 5'6; and their WR1 would be a WR2 at best on any other team. the bears never helped mitch, or play the offense to his strengths.

we ruined him & fields but won’t be ruining caleb mf williams.

pace built a good team it just didnt pan out with his kickers and qbs

He played "TERRIBLY" not "TERRIBLE". One's an Adjective and the latter is an adverb. Like your show. 😉🥃👊🏿🙊

The dumbest draft move of the NFL in the 21st century so far

Great dude we wanted him to succeed after Chicago ya know. I should id myself as a Bears fan. But my god, I've never seen a QB run out of bounds behind the l.o.s. on crucial 3rd and 4th behind the l.o.s. That Thursday night Packers loss was rough, actually both season openers to GB sucked. Good dude really, but that alone doesn't win. I like your retrospective. 👍 how'd that Texas tech QB do by the way? Lol anyhoo✌

I can see Turbisky like another Kerry Collins 😁

Hed be a good starter in the ufl

You missed the Tampa bay game where Mitch came in and played great and won against Tom Brady, the ravens game where he got way too aggressive and threw 3 interceptions, the Carolina game where he played good in 2022-2023 season, you also missed the only bright spot of 2023-2024 where he came in and played decent against the cardinals, Mitch needs a game time reps to get better and confidence of which he’s lacking both

When was there an ever a rise? Besides being pick with the second pick, he has done nothing. When you model your playing style after Christian Ponder, this is the outcome.

People love to say the Bears can’t develop QBs. What if the dude just sucked.
