Bears Head Coach Matt Nagy Needs to Face Majority of Blame for Mitchell Trubisky's Troubles

The Chicago Bears were a revelation last season, as Mitchell Trubisky helped orchestrate Matt Nagy's smoke-and-mirrors offense to perfection, confusing the opposition week in and week out en route to an NFC North crown.

In 2019, however, Nagy's parlor tricks have been exposed, and Trubisky looks painfully pedestrian, with today's loss against the Philadelphia Eagles serving as the latest example that he is not a franchise quarterback.

Rather than keep deflecting, Nagy has to own up for his faults in constructing this offense. Sure, Trubisky has looked bad, but the Bears just faced one of the worst passing defenses in the league this week and didn't get into Eagles territory until the SECOND HALF. Is that all honestly on Trubisky?

Nagy's sins are twofold. First off, he has some players in rookie running back David Montgomery and a wide receiving corps that features Allen Robinson and Anthony Miller. Nagy is almost going out of his way to not feature these guys prominently in the gameplan, as it took a monster game from Montgomery to remind Nagy that the RB existed.

Second, and most importantly, Nagy clearly doesn't trust Trubisky. Even if you don't think you have a Hall of Fame quarterback, your offense should accentuate his talents. All Nagy's offense does is force Trubisky to dump it off on a three-yard curl route. You can't win football games dinking and dunking to that degree, no matter who's at QB.

Nagy can't be trusted to lead this team if he remains paralyzed with fear and coaches like he did against the Eagles this week. Trubisky doesn't seem to be the answer, but neither does the coaching.
