Where does Trubisky rank with all time QB Busts?

[pumpkinhead33793]

As high as Leaf and Russell?

 

[jarntt]

That's crazy talk. No one expected much from him in the first place

sigh...

I wouldn't go that far. Wasn't he a second overall pick in the draft? Usually there's pretty high expectations (especially on QBs) that are taken that high.

ive posted this 2 other places. But here

Mitch Trubisky ranks among worst first-round QBs of the last decade

 

[blue_suns]

He wouldn't be as big a bust if Chicago didn't trade what they did for him. Not to mention who he was drafted ahead of.

 

[Myles]

I don't think he is that high on the list for a couple reasons:
Other teams were not as high on him like the Bears were.
His career stats don't look like a major bust. Especially when compared to Leaf's.
63% completions, 40 TD, 23 INT's. 86.2 rating.
Close or better than others taken in the top 10 recently (Locker, Bortles, Rosen, Tannehill, Mariotta, Gabbert ect..)

Good ol' Mitch Trub'INT'sky.

Eh whatever, he's fine.

 

[megalodon30]

He may be a bust, yet at the same time a top 5 all-time Bears QB.

Well, he was a top 3 draft choice who is going to never start again after this season. But...all time? No, probably not.

There are so many top QB busts. I mean, Heath Shuler, Rick Mirer, Ryan Leaf, Tim Couch, Akili Smith, and Jamarcus Russell all come to mind immediately.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Trubisky will have a deathmatch between himself and Marcus Mariota to be the Chiefs backup next year.

 

[Guy Incognito]

He's bad, but not all-time bad.

In typical Bears QB fashion, even their duds aren't historic.

 

[The Derski]

He makes the Jay Cutler years look like a really fun time.

Yes he was drafted early. Think back to draft day. Did you think it was a smart move? Did you expect he was going to be a good QB? Not that the book is written yet, but I sure didn't and still don't

 

[Iggloo]

He is on a pace to throw 16 TDs in a full season. That's pretty bleak for the NFL in 2019.

He likely may start again, they deemed it a hip injury, as to why they pulled him.

Mahomes has 18... this year. Missed about 2.75 games.

 

[Dude]

Can he kick the ball? Just sayin...

I'm the wrong guy to ask about that. I barely follow college football at all so I don't know usually know very much about the college players being drafted. All I know is that if a team takes you in the first round they usually are putting a pretty high value on you and they have pretty lofty expectations for you as well.
