    I think this was at least as much about who was throwing it as it was about the HC (or the OCs).

    I think Mitch is the thing that kind of proves this out. Felt like he'd throw deep over the middle pretty often. Usually to guys on the other team.

    The passing chart of Trubisky(and other QB for the steelers)were just brutal but it was worst with him

    Rarely he was throwing in the middle of the field,he had several deep pass but often it was on the sideline out of bounds or very low percentage play

    A quick search and this is what I found (KP on the left MT on the right). The depot doesn't allow for copying of text or grabbing the url of images.
    https://steelersdepot.com/2022/10/steelers-quarterback-passing-locations-week-6-vs-buccaneers/

    There are several different images showing passing in this article (but I admit I only looked at it quickly). Sample doesn't seem to be super large.

    Maybe the most telling is the QB1 (KP) vs QB2 (MT) plot at the bottom. Notice how Kenny has more throws short in the flats. Mitch has more everywhere else (especially middle intermediate).

    Mitch isn't some superstar throwing over the middle.

    But he did it much more than KP did.

    Very different behavior despite being in the same offense coached by the same HC and OC.

    [Ha...got one of these from a google image search...the differential one in the linked post above is probably better]

    I remember the game vs Bucs in 2022.Likely the only good game of Trubisky with us!

    Of course he had also 2-3 interceptions in the middle of the field vs ravens later in the season.He was awful!

    Here are a couple passing charts from Mitch that came up in a quick google search. Again, not a ton over the middle. But way more than you'd expect by looking at the other QB who was playing in the same offense under the same coaches.

    He was certainly awful!

    I remember feeling like he was just fishing for some highlight reel plays he could put on a sizzle reel when he was looking for work after we had Kenny starting (when I was optimistic that Kenny could play QB in the NFL).
