Can tell you NFL scouts took notice of Mitchell Trubisky's debut. Said one who watched live: "He looks like he's in control." Very poised.

Cowterd fell for the hype too

Mitchell Trubisky MVP. You better get used to saying that.

Kenny Pickett had a perfect preseason in 2023.

Kenny Pickett played a perfect preseason. He will be a top 10 QB by the end of the year.

This is misguided in the sense that it suggests the evidence shows Nix will be bad.

Nix did about as well as he could in the game today. That doesn’t prove he’s a good NFL QB. But it surely isn’t evidence he’s bad.
