Mitch Trubisky Already Predicting What Bears Will Do to NFL In 2018

-

By now everybody knows Mitch Trubisky is a confident guy. It’s just a natural personality trait born from being that talented and working as hard as he does. The popular saying among many all-time NFL greats is the same:  the only time you feel pressure is when you don’t know what you’re doing. That problem can be erased with ceaseless preparation.

However, even that can only take a quarterback so far. Football is still a team game. Quarterbacks may be the most important players, but Trubisky is one man. He can’t reach his true potential without help. That’s why GM Ryan Pace made it his personal mission this offseason to find as many reinforcements as he could possibly get his hands on for his young quarterback.

All things considered, he did a tremendous job. Former Pro Bowler Allen Robinson, deep threat Taylor Gabriel and second round pick Anthony Miller headlined a total overhaul of the wide receiver position. Trey Burton brings loads of versatility to the tight ends. Other second round pick James Daniels fortifies their offensive line.

Yet the biggest addition may be the new head coach, and he’s the reason Trubisky is already seeing visions of huge success in 2018.

Mitch Trubisky has gone from confident to drooling over the Nagy offense

It seems the more time Trubisky spends learning the new system being installed by Matt Nagy and his staff, the more he’s buying in. Here it is June and the young quarterback had no problem telling Mike Gloria of Pro Football Talk that the 2018 Bears offense will be light years better than what it was last season.

This offense is going to be amazing. It’s a fun scheme, we’re going to spread the ball around, use all our playmakers, stretch the ball down the field as well as intermediate routes and we’re going to use the RPO, run the ball and really just create mismatches with the personnel we got. It’s been going really well so far the way the coaches taught it to us thus far.

Coach Nagy says we’re much further in the installation of the offense than he expected, and that’s a great thing for us because we’ll just have that many more options this year.”

People are still wondering why Trubisky is so jacked up. They don’t yet understand the type of offense he’s running save for what they’ve heard. In truth if people want a deep understanding, they merely have to watch clips like this of Philadelphia Eagles coaches explaining their offense that just got done winning the Super Bowl. While not exactly the same, there will be a ton of similar concepts.

It’s a quarterback-friendly offense. One that allows Trubisky to dictate the play as he sees fit, getting the ball out fast if needed or going for the big play when appropriate. After seeing what it’s done for Alex Smith (4 Pro Bowls), Carson Wentz (Pro Bowl) and Nick Foles (Super Bowl MVP) it’s easy to understand why Trubisky is seeing big things ahead for himself and the Bears offense.
