INDIANAPOLIS — Bears general manager Ryan Pace left the door open for a legitimate quarterback competition slightly more than when he slammed it shut and dead-bolted it two months ago, but we all know where this is headed.
Mitch Trubisky remains the unquestioned, unchallenged starting quarterback and still will be when next season begins. There won’t be a real quarterback battle. And Pace still doesn’t grasp that it’s the biggest problem on his roster.
He revealed that again in a rare media appearance Tuesday amid the Bears’ scouting mission at the NFL Combine. When asked about competition specifically at quarterback, he his non-answer was that it’s important at every position.
