Politics, Not Talent, Dictated Why Trubisky Didn't Play More


May 4, 2017, 9:51 AM

Why would anyone want to play for UNC after this? If politics, rather than talent, determines who plays, then whats the point? Was getting Trubisky drafted ahead of DW4 so important that you sell your program down the river?

And as for the fact that Trubisky has only started 13 games, the conclusion the Bears came to mirrored what the North Carolina coaches told a lot of teams—politics played into the Ohioan spending three seasons on the bench. Marquise Williams, the Heels’ starter in 2014 and ’15, was an outstanding leader and hails from a Charlotte high school that’s a recruiting hotbed for ACC schools, and those sorts of things matter within a college program

That is such crap...

So they mean to tell us that "politics" of him being from Charlotte made them to play the guy that TOOK them to the ACC Championship and had them in discussions for even a long shot playoff bid and bench a guy that didn't even win his side of the conference on his year?

We personally saw Marquis Williams lead a UNC team to an ACC football title game. For a non football school, that was huge. Trubisky came nowhere near that goal. Politics had nothing to do with their losses this past season.

Agree

Conclusion for out of state recruits, don't go to UNC.

Same for in state recruits! UNC is the second dumpster fire in football.

Did Politics lose to Duke, State, and Stanford by throwing the ball

To the other team?

Seems to me like they did better "POLITICAL" choice Williams than the "supposedly better" Trubisky!

Chicago can't justify their stupid pick.

gotta call B.S.


May 5, 2017, 9:26 AM

got another source for the claim that the NC coaches said 'politics' played a role?

a quick search didn't turn up any other mention of that claim

here are two more simple, logical, and believable explanations:
