Mitch Trubisky’s career looks like it’s in a death spiral right now — a second-year downturn marked by a daunting Catch-22: He needs success to build his confidence. But he needs confidence to have success.
And around and around she goes. The more Trubisky struggles, the more likely it will inevitably erode the confidence his teammates have in him. They all love him and respect him, but everybody has his breaking point. And if that confidence in the quarterback starts to break down, Trubisky’s job will be nearly impossible. He’s just not good enough to do this without a tip-top supporting cast keeping the wind at his back.
