As much as Mitch Trubisky vs. Deshaun Watson has been a storyline this week as the Bears seek to end a six-game losing streak, the sad reality is this: There’s nothing Trubisky can do Sunday to change the narrative.
If he outplays Watson and leads the Bears to victory over the Texans, it’s not going to change anybody’s mind. The Bears still should have drafted Watson in 2017 (or, better yet, Patrick Mahomes). And Trubisky still figures to head into free agency and out of Chicago when this season ends.
But what about the rest of the Bears’ offense, most of which figures to be around in 2020 whether or not Matt Nagy is the head coach or Ryan Pace is the general manager?
