I get why Mitch Trubisky thinks he has an advantage over Nick Foles in the Bears’ quarterback competition.
Without OTAs, and potentially with fewer preseason games, fewer opportunities exist for Foles to develop rapports with his teammates. Not only has Trubisky played with plenty of 2020’s skill position guys, but because he lives in the Chicago area, he’s been able to throw with a couple of his teammates.
Among them: Allen Robinson, David Montgomery, Tarik Cohen and even free agent signing Demetrius Harris. It’s the kind of chemistry building — or enhancing — that usually goes on in OTAs and minicamp, and can’t happen over Zoom calls.
