Be refreshingly competent in Week 1 . Dalton won’t be fooled often; he’s started more games than Nick Foles, Mitch Trubisky, Mike Glennon and Chase Daniel combined. Bears fans used to seeing Trubisky throw short of the sticks on third down should appreciate a quarterback knowing where the ball goes, and when. That won’t stop them from calling for Justin Fields after any failed third down, though. And it won’t stop a starter change if the Bears decide their blocking and run-game issues need a boost from a mobile quarterback.
