After the Bears’ game Sunday against the Falcons, I have two questions:
First, did we really have to go through this quarterback nonsense?
Second, are the Bears really undefeated?
After much pondering, I have the answers:
Sadly, yes.
And, good Lord, yes.
It took the Bears three-plus years to acknowledge Mitch Trubisky is not a starting-caliber quarterback.
Good guy, good teammate, good athlete, good tackler. (Did you see him nail the Falcons cornerback after that third-quarter interception?) But a good quarterback? No.
So why did it take so long to bench him and install somebody else — in this case, Nick Foles — as the offensive leader?
