These Quarterbacks Laugh At Idea of Limited Weapons Ruining Trubisky

"The Chicago Bears will ruin Mitch Trubisky if they play him now." That's a common quote that can be found regularly on Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms. Even as the team crumbles with the completely ineffective Mike Glennon, people scream that it's a terrible idea. No good can possibly come from starting the rookie now. The primary argument? He doesn't have enough weapons. Look there's no question the Bears receiving corps has been devastated by injuries. Cameron Meredith and Kevin White are already done for the year. Markus Wheaton still hasn't returned from a broken finger and Kendall Wright left the Tampa Bay game yesterday with an injury too. It's just not a pretty sight. That's hard to argue. At the same time the argument that not having enough weapons will ruin his development? It's old, it's tiresome and above all it's completely unfounded.

"Ruin Mitch Trubisky" movement's stance is not based on facts

Sure there have been plenty of star quarterbacks throughout history who got off to great starts. Much of that was being surrounded by great talent. Dak Prescott, Ben Roethlisberger and Philip Rivers immediate come to mind. However, for each one of them there are quite a few examples of stud QBs inheriting an absolute dumpster fire of an offense and, believe or not, powered through to become great anyway. Don't believe it? Here's a short list of recognizable names and their totally forgettable top three receiving options they had their rookie seasons.

Derek Carr

• Andre Holmes
• James Jones
• Mychal Rivera

Alex Smith

• Brandon Lloyd
• Arnaz Battle
• Johnnie Morton

Drew Bledsoe

• Ben Coates
• Michael Timpson
• Vincent Brisby

Phil Simms

• Earnest Gray
• Gary Shirk
• Johnny Perkins

Terry Bradshaw

• Ron Shanklin
• Dave Smith
• Dennis Hughes

Here's what people forget. Great quarterbacks find a way to become great. It doesn't matter how things start. Resiliency is hardwired into their DNA. They all believe if they just continue to work hard that eventually there will be a payoff. All of these men proved that to be true. Carr ended up getting Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree. Bradshaw got John Stallworth and Lynn Swann. Hell, Simms never had a Pro Bowl receiver once in his career and he still managed to win a Super Bowl MVP.

If he's the real deal then the odds are he'll be around with the Bears for a decade or longer. That gives the organization more than enough time to build a proper stockpile of weapons.
