The arrival of Nick Foles made many people think that Mitch Trubisky’s time as Chicago Bears’ starting quarterback has come to an end. However, it appears that Trubisky will get another chance to prove himself.
According to several reports, the Bears decided to make Trubisky the starter for the season opener against Detroit Lions.
Trubisky and Foles competed for the starting position during training camp, but neither QB managed to impress in recent weeks. That made head coach Matt Nagy go with the familiar.
“It is not easy,” said Nagy earlier this week. “It’s not clear-cut.”
Mitchell Trubisky, who was 2017’s No. 2 pick, is entering the most important season in his career. So far, Trubisky failed to make an argument that he’s a franchise quarterback having too many ups and downs.
After a troubling rookie season, Trubisky showed promise in his sophomore year, going 11-3 in 14 games he played and earning a Pro Bowl nod. However, 2019 as him making a step back, as he struggled to be consistent, which ultimately caused the Bears to miss the playoffs.
If he wants to keep his job, the 26-year-old quarterback will have to have a strong start in 2020 and keep his production high. Failing to do so will most likely see Foles taking over and Trubisky probably being done with running the Bears’ offense.
