I would.  3748 yards for 30 TDs vs. 6 INTs while completing 68% of attempts is elite. Not to mention the 308 rushing yards with 5 TDs on the ground and actually catching another.

That's pretty elite.

To be fair, I think it's now pretty universally acknowledged that drafting Trubisky at #2 was a massive mistake.

It was. But that has no bearing on his college play. The Golden Calf of Bristol is still one of the best college players of all time regardless of how his NFL career turned out

Correct but Trubisky had the third best QB season in the conference, much less nationally. It was objectively a very good season but I didn't see him as an elite college player then and wouldn't consider him that now. Watson's season that year was elite and he was an elite player. Jackson's season was elite and he was an elite player. IMO, Trubisky was a notch or two below those kind of guys. 

We are really debating opinions and semantics, so it's not really worth much more back and forth, IMO. We just don't agree on the kind of college player he was.

So, Trubisky wasn't quite as good as two Heisman winners and two fellow 1st round draft picks? Yeah, I can live with that. "Elite" doesn't mean "absolute best". It means better than the vast majority. Trubisky wasn't the former, but he was definitely the latter.

Draft. Kyle. Pitts. 

Do we need more WRs?

I like Tru. However, I believed he should’ve had a year on the bench instead of starting quickly.

Most QBs with only one year of full-time starting experience at the college level probably should. We'll see how his story turns out. There's a lot more wrong with that Bears' offense than just Trubisky and benching him for Foles proved it.

He's gotta long way to go proving it at the D1 level. Even if he's legit I don't know if he'll get ECU turned around in time to be in consideration to replace Mack.

He had a big win yesterday.  He is a great coach and his lifelong dream is to coach UNC.  I think mack has about 3 years in him and thats plenty of time for Houston to get ECU right.  He is still weeding through the garbage that Scotty M left.  This season is tough to judge based on Covid and some horrible horrible officiating calls against them.

Ah, good to know you’re an ECU fan.

Since this seems to be the official CFB thread. Who do you guys think should make the Playoff? My vote is OU for the fourth spot and take Ohio State and their 6 wins out. Shrugs. OU finally has a defense and has looked dominant the past 4-5 games.

He really is. I was intrigued by him, but I hadn't seen much of him. He has intriguing tools but he's terrible at football.

A&M had 3 weeks off and he reverted back to his Sophomore version. Dude is just inconsistent.
