Really? Cause ive read that Bears fans questioned the release because Thompson was Trubiskys favorite target in preseason. They were saying comments like... "of course when we finally start Mitch, we get rid of his favorite weapon all preseason long. Total Bears move"
His vertical speed will help the entire offense. If he keeps thw play up the defenses will have to account for him and the longer ball. The issue with the recievers is that there is no spacing, its not their fault rather than the people who built the team. There was no one on roster who could catch a long ball so there was so space for Matthews or even Zay underneath. When Clay gets back it could really benefit the Matthews. Defenses would have to account for the deep ball to Deonte and the seam route to Clay which should leave the middle shorter route open all day which will allow Matthews to thrive
