Paul Zeise: Mitch Trubisky is exactly who we thought he was, and that's OK for now

The magic dust that was apparently, allegedly, sprinkled over Mitch Trubisky last year in Buffalo turned out to be, well, as silly as it all sounded.

The story went something like this: Trubisky — a No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft that was let go after four seasons by the Bears because he wasn't the elite passer they were looking for — went to Buffalo for a season and offensive coordinator Brian Daboll transformed him into a completely different quarterback. And he also benefitted greatly from watching Josh Allen practice and perform every week.

And combine that year of education with the fact that he was joining the Steelers, a much better organization than the Bears with much better coaches, and Trubisky was destined to become a star.
