Mitch "Mr Biscuit" Trubisky-QB-North Carolina | Page 202

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.

This. Sit him 100% of his rookie year and possibly some of his 2nd year.

We don't have to start him.

We will have a bridge QB and another back-up anyway I am sure.

The key is to make sure we sign a legit bridge QB who can win games such as a Hoyer for example, then we wouldn't be forced to start Trubisky unlike what happened to Jared Goff with the Rams.

He will play sometime during the season for sure. Bridge qbs are called that for a reason, cause theyre either not good enough to start for a long time, or too old. Either way, he will eventually play due to injury or the starter playing like crap.

Yup. The second playoffs are out of sight year 1 the owner walks in says give the keys to the rookie. No turning back. Mitch will have to be ready that's just how the league works now.

Yup. I understand why people want him to sit, but the best way to get better and gain experience is to actually play. This team currently is not projected to even sniff the playoffs, why not take the year to develop every young talent we have>

Philadelphia and Dallas had rookies start,,now they each have a year under their belts. Throw the rookie into the fire. Let him learn. Forget the "not sure if the Rookie can't handle it business"..Of course he can't handle it. Because he hasn't been through it. We are not going to the playoffs this year so give him the experience.

Our O ine is probably good enough to start a rookie behind. And it seems to be the direction NFL teams are moving in.

I don't really trust his evaluation when it comes to offensive guys. But I think he's pretty solid when it comes to defensive prospects.

Kizer has all the tools you'd want in a franchise quarterback, so it's not surprising to see that. Draft evaluators love traits more than anything else.

It's still early. All the draft analysts need to generate interest for their board/mock updates. That way, they can talk about prospect stock movement after the combine/pro days.
