Trubisky is getting a chance to start at quarterback in the National Football League. It was a good feel-good story for the first week. It is difficult to be the first quarterback taken at No. 2 in a draft in which Patrick Mahomes was picked eight picks later.
I don't think it was possible to know on that day that Mahomes would become one of the greatest players of all time. Trubisky didn't get a warm reception when the Chicago Bears traded up one spot in order to select him, even though he was worse than the two Pro Bowlers selected behind him. He was booed by the crowd at the Bulls game.
Trubisky was in charge of four games in the beginning of the year. He completed 59.4% of his passes at 6.6 yards per attempt. It was difficult to judge him because the Bears were terrible that year. The Bears finished the year with the second-best record in the conference after he took over for Goff. The Bears scored six points in the first three quarters against the Eagles in the playoffs.
His career fell into a tailspin after that. His performance was not good as the Bears offense was not scoring. The Bears never finished with a record under.500 in Trubisky's three seasons as a starter, but some of those games were painful to watch. He only threw 17 touchdown passes in the entire year. Lamar Jackson was the last pick of the first round in the last two years.
Trubisky's confidence was leaving him, but his coach deserved a lot of the blame. Matt Nagy didn't put him in the best position to succeed. He didn't roll Trubisky out enough and called a lot of straight drop back passes. A major reason why the Bears have a new head coach is because of the same problem that happened last season in Justin Fields.
The new arrangement Trubisky has with the Steelers is likely not going to be accepted by the church. The relationship is a rebound one. They need someone to help them get back in the game until someone better comes along after the departure of Ben Roethlisberger.
Trubisky is not a long term relationship. At the end of training camp, the Steelers are hoping that they have their next long-term quarterback, in the form of Pickett. It was possible that he could push Trubisky out of the starting job, but Mike Tomlin said on Wednesday that the job was Trubisky's.
If the season gets off to a bad start for the Steelers, they have a player to replace Trubisky. If Trubisky doesn't play well, he may never again be an NFL franchise's intentional starting quarterback.
The Bears had more skill-position talent than theSteelers, but they also have more problems. He is going to play in an offense that is going to rely on a lot of play-action. There won't be a lot of five-step dropbacks in the second half.
Trubisky was trying to rebuild his career. Pickett is a late first round pick. Trubisky may be able to win the job permanently. He will be able to get into at least the $20 million per club if he plays well enough that a team needs a veteran quarterback next season.
Will it be a new world for the No.2 pick? If he doesn't find his place quickly, he will have to carry clipboards for an entire career.
