It’s crazy that the Bears front office thought Trubisky was better than Mahomes and Watson.
Astounding
Russel Wilson was those things and still got passed over because he wasn't 6'3+

Dammit I am glad they did though.
because he was a product of the "System"
Despite the fact that every QB plays in a "System" the Air Raid is different than what everyone is used to seeing.
Couple that with the fact that no QB in an Air Raid system had any level of success in the NFL until Goff last year, and you have the recipe for why he was overlooked. [Reply]

You can't blame Robinson for not reeling that in. The Dback had an arm bar on him, and that ball had some serious mustard on it. It would have been an amazing catch. [Reply]

Goff was viewed as a possible/likely bust at the time Mahomes was drafted. Goff’s rookie season in 2016 was very rough. So the fact he went #1 and played like crap right before Mahomes’ draft year caused even more skepticism for Mahomes. [Reply]
