What does Mitchell Trubisky have in common with social distancing?

Leave it to the coronavirus pandemic for some creative minds to find new ways to preach the importance of social distancing during this crisis, especially when it pertains to the Chicago Bears.

Brett Craycraft was ordering takeout from ChipMonks, a Chicago-based restaurant on Diversey and Pine Grove, when he noticed a sign explaining the restaurant’s social distancing guidelines.

But rather than the typical “stay six feet apart” that some other businesses have used, ChipMonks compared their social distancing policy to that of a Mitchell Trubisky overthrown pass.

Which was as funny as it was frustrating, to be honest.

Bears’ fans frustrations with Trubisky are as well-documented as his struggles last season. He’s become the butt of some jokes and received a fair share of criticism for his performance.

While Trubisky was far from the only issue with the Bears offense last season, he was certainly one of the more disappointing aspects. After all, Trubisky was supposed to take the next step in his third season — and second under Matt Nagy.

Not to mention the constant reminders that the Bears passed on Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson only add to the frustration.

Now, Trubisky’s future in Chicago is uncertain, as he’ll compete with former Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles for the starting quarterback job.

If Trubisky wants to win the starting job, he’s going to have to stop practicing social distancing — at least in regards to overthrowing receivers.
