Why criticism of Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky has gone too far

Look, I get it. Mitchell Trubisky hasn’t lived up to your expectations.

He was drafted No. 2 overall in 2017 — yes, the Bears even traded up one spot to get him — and here we are in 2020 and he is in a quarterback competition with Nick Foles.

Trubisky is not a success story at this point. But you know what else he’s not? A bust.

The kid belongs in the NFL. He may be a fringe starting quarterback — which is why he’s currently in a competition with another fringe starting quarterback — but those players stay in the league for a long time.
