I think you`d better watch some Texan games bud...…..That line is horrible.

Why must I explain this very basic principle to so many. A QB getting hit/sacked a lot does not equal "bad line". Running/mobile QB's hold the ball a long time because they trust themselves to escape trouble more than a Tom Brady, Matt Ryan... etc... This is very simple. This is why Vick got hit a ton. This is why Newton gets hit a ton. This is why Rodgers gets hit a ton.

I just demonstrated to you, beyond a shadow of a doubt that Deshaun Watson has had the second most time to throw the football of ALL QB's in the NFL. On average, you get about 2.5. Watson gets 3.3. Nearly a full second more than the average.

So, please... just hit the bricks and take your obvious L on this one.

Don't explain anything bud...………..

I promise you,Trubisky,if he doesn't start picking it up, is gonna be a lifetime back-up or out of the league by the end of his 3rd season...…..He is not playing good at all no matter what excuse you tell me...…..Cause that's all you got are excuses..……...

While I agree, he has to improve, from what I can tell, there is nothing in his current state that isn't improvable. Most analysts think his issue is thinking to much. Nothing yet is instinctual for him and that it all takes time. Like I pointed out before, this is true for not just Mitch but everyone on Offense. EVERYONE is learning a new system, the O line, the TE's the RB's (not a straight zone block scheme anymore, at least that's what Kreutz and Williams were saying), Wr's, the whole show. He will be a different Mitch by the end of the year, or yea, he will be gone.

He'd probably still get year #3 unless he completely devolves into a catastrophe. I know what you mean, though. It's still not time to panic, IMO. However, by this year's end - we need some tangible improvement or else the uneasiness that some are expressing becomes warranted. He would be under the gun going into 2019 and the excuse well would be 100% dried up.

Throughout 3 weeks it's sort of just been a straight line of subpar play. He hasn't had a disaster yet and he hasn't had a breakout yet either. Let's hope the latter comes soon and the former can be avoided. I have a bad feeling that a 4 turnover type game could really sink his confidence.

He just needs the game to slow down. He looks uneasy in the pocket a lot and his mechanics get away from him when that happens.

Yea, I was meaning eventually, he isn't going anywhere for at least 2 more years, his rookie deal.
