The Bears had one of the worst offenses in the NFL last season. So it’s not a surprise that they also had one of the worst quarterbacks in the league, as well.
Mitchell Trubisky’s regression in 2019 was well-documented, and it’s why a majority of the talk this offseason has centered around which quarterback(s) are headed to Chicago to compete with him for the starting job.
NFL.com ranked Trubisky 30th among quarterbacks on start a game in 2019, which tied with Andy Dalton, who has been a popular name thrown out as a potential addition to the Bears.
I want Trubisky to be successful. I really do. But I think after the season we just saw from the former No. 2 overall pick, the best and most practical way for this franchise to extract more out of that position is to add some real competition this offseason. I guarantee Bears fans would much rather GM Ryan Pace backtrack than continue doubling down on a mistake.
While Trubisky had his better moments last season — including a stretch of six games where he played his best ball — he’s failed to be a consistent answer at quarterback.
There’s only so much longer the Bears can waste their championship-caliber defense. If Trubisky doesn’t drastically turn things around, the Bears shouldn’t hesitate to move on.
