We only ranked Trubisky higher than Mahomes bc Trubisky fits the Brees type better, aka his white skin and clean cut soldier boy franchise face.
that's a complete wild guess on your part with absolutely nothing to back it up. once again, almost EVERYBODY had trubisky higher. are ALL football analysts racist?
Yes I would argue that the majority of football analysts when it comes to QB prospect are prejudiced with racism resulting in high bust ratio. Too often do we hear from scouting reports about a white Qb being accurate, calm, poise, leader, winner, pocket passer, and intelligent whereas a black QB being fast, inaccurate, and bad at reading NFL defenses.
If you read the Mahomes scouting report, it’s the same bull while his skill set is more along Favre/ Rodger than being an athletic black athlete. He reads the defense and reacts significantly better to changes than Trubisky at the college level. Just bc the entire league is prejudiced against black QBs doesn’t mean that Ryan Pace, his staff, and the racism permeating from our management people should be brushed aside. We are in the business of making the right decisions and winning football games.
Their racism and poor evaluations have led to an accumulation of busts at an unacceptable level. Everyone needs to go.
The funny thing about all those pre-draft boards, analysis, etc, was, even though yes, Mitch was regularly ranked the highest, he was still considered to be a meh prospect regardless. This whole disaster isn't exactly hindsight being 20/20. AT THE TIME, like 80% of the population thought what pace did was incredibly dumb. Not just for the fact that he got duped into giving up all those picks to move up 1 spot to grab a guy nobody was grabbing there, but the fact that the guy he was doing it for was considered a meh prospect.
He was never considered a Manning/luck type prospect. Hell, he wasn't in the same prospect tier as Winston/Mariota. Mitch being a bust really isn't a shock to many. This isn't a case of someone like Ryan Leaf, RG3, Matt Leinart, Vince Young. Those were "can't miss" guys that missed. Mitch was considered by nobody to be "can't miss". And when you sell the farm to move up for someone, it better not miss. Especially in that QB class. Even if Mitch was ranked higher, Watson and mahomes were not considered to be big dropoffs. And to most people with common logic, Watson was the most proven ready prospect of all of them. Mitch couldn't even start his 1st two years in college because he couldn't unseat some nobody. That should've told these evaluators everything they needed to know
Gotta say it again. Even at the time, very few people would be surprised if you told them your from the future and Mitch was indeed a bust. Nobody really thought he was that good
