When it comes to Chicago Bears' quarterback Mitch Trubisky, I feel like I'm talking about an old girlfriend.
"Mitch, it's not you," I would say. "You are great. It's me! I'm just not happy. You are free to go your own way; I'm free to go my own way.
"I admit it. I have eyes for another."
Deshaun Watson. Patrick Mahomes. I just keep thinking: What if . . . ?
When I'm with you--I think of them. When I watch you--even when you are relatively good--I think of what I could of had with either of them. Every week, I hear of Watson of the Houston Texans and Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs putting up awesome statistical passing and rushing numbers.

Listen, Trubisky, you are OK. It's that Watson is better. In his first 58 games, Watson has thrown 56 touchdown passes and only 18 interceptions. As of this writing, this season he has thrown 11 touchdown passes and only one interception.
In Watson's career, he averaged 258 yards passing per game.
In Watson's career, he averaged 258 yards passing per game.
The Bears did not need to move from fourth in the 2017 draft to second to draft Trubisky. Watson was picked 10th by the Texans and Mahomes 12 by the Chiefs.
I've fan-lusted for Mahomes, too. In his NFL career, he has thrown 61 touchdowns and only 13 interceptions. He averaged 327 yards passing a game.
Mitch, baby, you're OK, but my Chicago Bears could have done better.
Trubisky has thrown 34 touchdowns and 21 interceptions in his career. He has averaged 200 yards passing a game.
Mitch, that's not bad.
You're OK. Really, you are a nice QB. You could be a decent back-up QB.
So, it's not you. It's me.
I want more. Let's part ways, so that my Chicago Bears can finally get it right and find the next Watson or Mahomes.
Again, it's not your fault.
It's me--not you!
