When he displays that emotion and excitement, it also shows his confidence.  He may be able to harness that again, a little "be you" could go a long way.

There was an article yesterday ranking Trubisky as the 26th best QB in the NFL. 

He'll be the Rodney Daingerfield of QBs until he can take that next step.  And he has to - Bears can't depend on the defense and all the weapons on offense to carry them deep into the playoffs.

I think it was Cynthia Freuland and the Fantasy QB tracker.  Not because of this, but give me a break that she is an analytics expert.  Had Lamar Jackson in the top 20.

I think the hyperscrutiny of Trubisky is the National media creation related to how they view the Bears.  The Bears have a top defense, some nice pieces on offense, and a 3rd year QB that hasn't shown the consistent it factor.  Trubisky becomes the target as the piece holding them back, even though his last full performance was marching the Bears to a game winning drive... that didn't happen.

I agree Dallas and I hope we see a much greater Trubisky this year. If not Pace has to go back to the drawing board. The Bears philosophy has always been that they didnt need a great QB just a manager. That appears to be the case with Trubisky.

Trubisky is only getting better. TWO new offenses in his first 2 years.

His SECOND year numbers were 24 TDs and 95.2 QB rating in 14 games. Stats don't lie.

He is in his second year now under Nagy and knows the O way better.

I am expecting him to have a great season.

There’s a disconnect between Trubisky’s statistical output and his throw-by-throw performance last season, and it’s a big year in his development. He had impressive moments as a rookie and a few top-notch performances last year, though his 63.6 overall grade ranked just 29th in the league despite ranking 17th in passer rating during the regular season. Trubisky went from one of the worst play-calling/playmaker situations to one of the best, and that was a big reason for his statistical success. Among the positives, Trubisky ranked 11th in big-time throw percentage and his legs were a weapon as he finished with the top rushing grade among quarterbacks at 88.2. In order to take the next step, Trubisky must improve his accuracy at 10-plus yards down the field and lower his percentage of uncatchable passes that ranked 31st out of 35 qualifiers. Trubisky is set up with another good situation offensively, but improved play on his part is crucial if the Bears are going to repeat in the NFC North.

One issue is our receivers drop a lot of balls.

I wouldn't be surprised if shaheen didnt make it
