No quarterback controversy here: Mitch Trubisky is the Chicago Bears’ starter for 2020.
At a year-end press conference on Tuesday, Bears GM Ryan Pace said, “We believe in Mitch and we believe in the progress he’s going to continue to make.”
Trubisky took a step back in 2019, producing a lower QB rating, pass completion percentage and touchdown total from what he did in 2018. He also proved inconsistent in pivotal moments, converting just 35.6% of his third-down attempts this season.
But that’s not a red flag for Pace or Bears coach Matt Nagy. At least not yet.
“This season was about regression and inconsistencies in way too many areas,” Pace said. “We have to learn from our failures, and we believe we have an opportunity to improve. We believe we have the right foundation and the right pieces in place, but we have to make the right decisions going forward.
