At some point he can't just keep playing the slice here - he has to make Trubisky's scattershot accuracy and questionable decision-making BETTER. He can't just keep playing around it.
I agree that Nagy's done a nice job of winning some ballgames where a more headstrong offensive guy could be at 2 wins and in the process of truly wrecking Trubisky by just forcing that square peg into a round hole. But at some point he needs to round the corners off the peg here. I don't fault him for not doing it yet, but the clock is ticking on Mitch. There needs to be a lot of development over the coming years there.

Heck, yesterday it seems the QB didn’t matter at all for Chicago. Buffalo had 4 turnovers. At least one of them went for 7 points and I am guessing the other 3 setup short fields for points. Trubisky had a passer rating of 76/158 and ESPN QBR of 49/100 on 60% completions for 135 yards and 1 TD/1 INT.
Bears rushing game wasn’t great either and they scored 41 points. 64 yards rushing and 190 total yards on offense. Must be nice to have a great defense contributing points and short fields for easy points. Wish the Chiefs had the Bears defense.
