What is up, Steel Studians, and welcome to episode #255 of the Study Session. Join me today as I take a look at the upside of Mitchell Trubisky and what he can offer the Steelers from an optimistic perspective. Much gratitude to you for supporting The Steel Study and for sharing with your family and friends, it means the world to me! Please leave a comment below, drop me a line via email at thesteelstudy@gmail.com, and also give me a follow on Twitter @SteelStudy. Please also check out the podcast I do with Jim Wexell over on his site, The Steel City Insider, it is called The Steel City Insider Podcast, and you definitely want to check it out!
Please look at the performance of Dalton, Foles and Fields with Nagy as coach. Trubisky is the only quarterback with a winning record under Nagy. Those three quarterbacks averaged a little more than one offensive touchdown a game. They lost every game where the other team scored 20 points or more (except one). I think Trubisky has the best QB rating of any Bear quarterback ever. So think again.
Liv, thanks so much for your comment! Much appreciation to you!
Great points regarding Nagy–I’m intrigued to look into that deeper. While I can see how a coach can stifle a quarterback’s growth/performance, you can’t completely discount the agency of the player. Trusbisky may hold the record for the best passer rating of any Bears’ QB, but from my perspective, that’s not saying much considering the history of the team’s signal callers. I am hopeful Trubisky blossoms in the Steelers organization and becomes the player he was drafted to become. No question about it, I was a bit pessimistic on this signing, and I need to give this guy a chance. Thanks again, Liv!
