Mitch "Mr Biscuit" Trubisky-QB-North Carolina | Page 180

Phoenix49ers · 2016-09-29T14:44:50-07:00

A QB worth keeping an eye on throughout the season. This is his first year as a starter and he is leading in several passing categories, has largely looked pretty good this season including a terrific comeback win against Pitt. He comes with decent size at 6'3", has added some bulk during his time at North Carolina and also has the athleticism to take off and run with the football if needed. He has thrown 203 consecutive passes without an interception, the longest current streak in the nation. The offense that North Carolina runs is quite similar to Chip Kelly's offense, its a frantic, one-back up-tempo spread offense that utilizes the no huddle a lot. I'll take the Tar Heels entire WR group as well, incredibly well coached group, excellent route runners with outstanding hands(1 drop all season long). Ryan Switzer is one to watch for sure. That has definitely helped Trubisky out but he's made some really excellent throws at times, beating coverage, making timely decisions and with good ball placement on his passes. https://vine.co/v/5rjQ2h2Vvrl http://www.espn.com/blog/acc/post/_/id/94971/north-carolina-qb-mitch-trubisky-proving-hes-among-nations-elite CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- They had noticed the fans leaving after Pitt drilled a field goal to run its fourth-quarter lead to 13, but now, as North Carolina drove toward the end zone in the game's final minutes with a chance to pull out a win, the crowd seemed impossibly loud. Bug Howard was sore, having fought off physical defenders all game. Mack Hollins was just a spectator, an injury forcing him to the sideline. Ryan Switzer was so exhausted he compared the drive to an out-of-body experience. Their quarterback though? Mitch Trubisky was cool as a cucumber. "There was not one time when we thought he was nervous or we thought the stage was too big for him," Switzer said. "He was even-keeled the entire time. I think I even got a smile out of him." What's not to smile about? Trubisky is riding high after four games and, with apologies to that guy getting all the headlines at Louisville, he might be the country's hottest quarterback. Let's start with that game-winning drive. North Carolina needed 17 gut-wrenching plays to march 63 yards. It wasn't a thing of beauty. It was a deliberate, gritty, physical performance. On the drive, Trubisky completed three different throws on fourth-and-6 or longer, converting all for a first down. That's an insane statistic, really. Over the past 10 years, only one other Power 5 quarterback has converted more fourth-down throws in the fourth quarter of a one possession game in an entire career. "I wasn't really thinking about it," Trubisky said. "Just thinking about getting the first down, knowing the situation, trying to communicate. We just made it happen." That drive was Trubisky battling, but so much of the past three games have been easy. Trubisky started last week's contest by completing his first 12 throws, which ran his streak of consecutive completions to 30. That was a school record. Overall this season, he's completed 74.5 percent of his throws, second nationally, despite the fact that he has thrown more deep balls (passes of 20 yards or more in the air) than all but nine other Power 5 quarterbacks.

AA was injuried in training camp buzzy not during the season

Aldon Smith had 37 tackles 2 FF and 14 Sacks his rookie year...19.5 sacks his second. AA has 4.5 sacks spread over two seasons....to go with his 34 career tackles and 1 FF.

He projects better as an olb. He only has to lose about 20 lbs which he will do for the combine to increase his speed numbers. He bulked up to get to 290. His natural playing weight is about 265.

Kid was a WR before he came to Bama. The reason why everyone see's him as a potential #1 overall pick is his athleticism awareness and ability to play multiple roles.

No f**king way...he doesn't have the speed or bend to be a OLB, Allen out in coverage lol

The point is Aldon was a talented player that produced immediately and Arik is an overrated player who was probably over drafted by our idiot GM because he looked like a giant and hasn't produced squat in two seasons in the NFL.

I think there is something wrong with my computer. When I go to the Turbisky thread the posts are about Allen.

Exactly, tell that to other posters who says he is a DE. He has the quickness to be something special and the lighter he his the quicker he would be. Thats why I project him as an olb. Because that is a more natural position for him. Turn him lose and let him run. If you draft him as a DE you aren't utilizing his natural abilities and he will likely be a bust imo.

He was raw coming out of college because he played basketball as well...he had one full season of just focusing on football. The upside is through the roof you just need to be willing to be patient, this team isn't gonna be a contentor for a while so we need to be patient...moving on from a first rd pick who's basically had half a season of healthy football it's stupid.

Please find one scout, writer, or TV personality that projects him as an OLB. He's a DE/DT. Michael Crabtree played QB in high school, doesn't mean he'll be taking any snaps behind center this year...

Back on topic I really like Trubisky. If Shanahan decides he'll be a franchise QB then take him at two

You're comparing an end to a olb. Really only the elite ends like Watt or Justin put up 10+ sacks. If Armstead can get to McDonald's 5-7 sacks we should be happy as Hell. People have too high of a ceiling and are giving up on him too early.

Harbaugh likes playing vets. That's not your best point. You put up 20 sacks you're ready. But that's Aldon top 10 stud. Armstead is a late 1st and most likely has a lower ceiling which is fine. Buckner is hopefully Justin we just need Armstead to be capable like McDonald.
