I said from day one that the analysts were sleeping on trubisky. I'm surprised he's coming on so fast but he had a better NFL skillset than most qbs since Winston and mariota

I think because of the consensus opinion of this being a bad QB class didn't help. Also they had concerns of him being a one year starter.
I still have the draft on my DVR and the reaction by Bears fans is hilarious. They hated the pick but it seems if he keeps it up, Trubisky can change their minds.
Winston and Marriotts weren't that long ago. Anyway, I agree, but didn't expect him to come along this fast. That being said, it's one preseason game. Let's give it a little time...

Competition level doesn't affect pure accuracy, velocity, and delivery though, those are independent traits and they all looked very good, that's my reason for thinking he's gonna be legit.
Now of course, higher stakes could lead to a breakdown in form, his release gets clunky, he gets nervous and makes poor throws or holds the ball too long, etc. but if a guy isn't doing that in his first game under NFL lights then he probably won't get rattled in the regular season either. If hes able to stay true to the form he showed in that game, then no matter the competition he should be solid at least
They always think life is greener on the other side. Think again....
He's been slated to be their number 2/3 receiver so I wouldn't assume too much - remember Andrew luck wasn't the one throwing to him either

Chiefs moved Patrick Mahomes to second on their depth chart and added another solid rookie performance for the 2017 class. Watson, Kizer and Trubisky shined last week, this week it's Mahomes.
10/14 for 88 yards and 2 TDs for Mahomes. Man for a QB class that "lacked talent" there is a lot of talent.

Not sure if anyone is watching the MNF Preseason game but we just had a huge injury that could derail many fantasy hopes and the Giants receiving core. Odell Beckham Jr. took a shot to the knee and is done for the night. It is now reported that he has a ankle sprain and a concussion.

I believe they started to collapse once their o-line was getting hit with injuries. Really must be a purple thang.

That's just a Vikings thing. They'll never win a championship... ever. Cursed franchise I tell ya

I say purple thang because we started undefeated until Stanley's foot injury.
Yeah and that was with Fran Tarkington. Of course look who they had to play. Raiders, Steelers, Chiefs, and Dolphins. These teams were powerhouses in the 70s. They were a great team themselves but couldn't win the big one. Sort of like the Bills.
