Twitter had plenty to say about Mitchell Trubisky never having thrown a Pick Six
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Mitchell Trubisky has been one of the NFL’s punchlines for the last couple of years. That’s what happens when you’re average quarterback drafted ahead of two of the league’s best young quarterbacks in Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson.
While Trubisky’s future in Chicago is likely done — he’s set to become a free agent next month — that hasn’t stopped the Trubisky conversation. Especially when CBS Sports picked up an interesting nugget about Trubisky.
Since the merger, Trubisky is the only quarterback that has started 50-plus games and hasn’t thrown a Pick Six in his career.
Hundreds of QBs have started 50+ games in the NFL since the merger.
However only 1 of those QBs has NEVER thrown a Pick Six in his career.
His name, you ask?

While that stat isn’t going to get Trubisky a contract extension, it did spark quite the conversation. As you can imagine, Twitter had plenty to say about this random factoid that could come off as a defense of Trubisky. And a lot of people had plenty of fun at Trubisky’s expense.

I mean…if there is literally no human within a mile of 50% of your passes, I can see that.

Can't get picked when you constantly over and under throw everyone.

Reason #683 why stats without context tell a very incomplete story.

You can’t throw pick 6’s when you throw the ball 7 yards and directly into the ground pic.twitter.com/WjjMybGDuG

This stat was leaked by Ryan Pace to the media. Don't forget he has also thrown 0 interceptions in the Super Bowl.

The real issue here is that mitch trubisky has started 50 games in the national football league https://t.co/ddSPG0zh1B

In part because his avg yards per pass attempt is like 4.5. https://t.co/noSJiOVNL8
