He doesn’t have to look like Tom Brady. But he has to look decent. I watched some of the Bears game. Trubisky looked fantastic. Looked like he was playing the game forever. I get it. Pre-season. Vanilla defense and all of that. But his poise, his accuracy, his decision making were first rate. And this was his first game.
PA…Goff came out of Cal much further behind than most drafted qbs.
To this day, not one single qb who has come out of the college Air Raid offense has ever become a consistent starter. This goes back to Couch. The closest have been Foles and Keenum. Though Foles did well in a pro spread under Kelly, with the Rams he had to play a pro system, and as we know, crashed.
The offense Trubisky was in in college was not as far from pro systems as the Cal offense was.
Just off the net, source doesn’t matter:
North Carolina did have Trubisky process routes and go through progressions, which isn’t always the case for college spread offenses. Bears general manager Ryan Pace pointed to Trubisky’s “ability to process and see the whole field,” which is an important to note, seeing as it’s an area in which he may not need as much development as some of the other quarterbacks in this year’s draft class.
Given all that, I would expect Trubisky to be ahead of where Goff was at the same stage.
