Mitch Trubisky Worried Good Performance Will Give Fans Wrong Idea

Chicago Bears QB Mitch Trubisky is worried that his unusually strong performance may have given fans the wrong idea about what he’s capable of doing on a week-to-week basis.

“Fans need to understand that just because I had one good game, it doesn’t automatically mean that I’m suddenly a reliable NFL quarterback,” said Trubisky, addressing a room full of reporters, “I’m still the same old Mitch everyone knows and resents – the frowny-faced ‘leader’ people can count on to throw a game-losing interception, and nothing else.”

Trubisky, whose Twitter and Instagram have been flooded with messages of support since his heroics, posted a video late Sunday begging fans to stay reasonable and to stop trusting him immediately.

“Guys, I didn’t throw a single touchdown in SEVEN games last season, but now you’re all signing a change.org petition to rename the Lombardi Trophy the Mitch Stick? It’s preposterous and it doesn’t even sound good,” continued Mitch. “Please stop believing in me, otherwise I’m going to somehow end up in the Hall of Fame one day, and I really, really don’t want to give a speech in front of my peers and loved ones.”

In an effort to change his own media narrative, Trubisky says he plans to make next week’s Bears game the worst of his life – promising to play so poorly that fans will be begging to have Rex Grossman back.
