Chicago Bears: How Matt Nagy turned the 2020 season into a nightmare

Matt Nagy didn’t develop Mitchell Trubisky

One of the ways for Nagy to develop a high-powered offense was to develop a quarterback. You cannot have a good offense if you don’t have a good quarterback.

If a team misses out on a quarterback it holds the offense back years. The team has to find another quarterback and with that, the offense needs to be rebuilt. Pace took a big chance on drafting Mithell Trubisky. He basically put his job on the line for the young quarterback.

Trubisky has struggled as a starting quarterback. To make matters worse, two other quarterbacks, Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes, were drafted after Trubisky and have enjoyed success in the NFL.

Nagy was supposed to help develop Trubisky. In Kansas City, Nagy did a great job of helping Alex Smith. In 2017, Smith had the best season of his career. When the Bears hired him, they expected him to do the same for Trubisky. That did not happen.

Trubisky is making the same mistakes today that he did when he was a rookie. His mechanics are off and he continually makes bad decisions. Those deficiencies caused Nagy to bench him earlier this season. He got a chance to watch what was going on and get better.

With Nick Foles‘ injury, Trubisky got a chance to start again. He had an opportunity to show Chicago Bears Nation that he was new and improved. That didn’t happen. In the two games he’s played since starting again he’s committed four turnovers. Each of those turnovers resulted in touchdowns for the opposition.

Nagy’s failure to develop Trubisky holds back the offense. It looks like Trubisky’s time in Chicago will come to an end. Seeing how Nagy couldn’t help Trubisky, will the McCaskeys give him a chance to help another young quarterback? Doubtful, but we’ll find out at season’s end, possibly as early as Black Monday.
