How will the Chicago Bears quarterback depth chart play out?

Now that the NFL draft is over it is time to start looking to rookie camps, OTAs and training camp. The 90-man roster is now set so the time to speculate about who will be in what spot, and who may make the 53-man roster is here. In this series, we will go position by position to project the potential depth chart of the Bears come August. This edition will focus on quarterbacks.

1. Mike Glennon

Whether or not Mitchell Trubisky should start this season is another question. Whether he will or not is easier to answer. The odds seem stacked against Trubisky winning the starting job in week one. Glennon is being paid like a starter, and post draft the Bears mentioned he still is the starter. Trubisky will learn from the bench and the hope is that he develops by taking mental snaps.

2. Mitchell Trubisky

Trubisky is unlikely to start the season as the number one, but he can finish the season in that spot. It will not only depend on his progression but the progression of Glennon as well. Either way, it is in the best interest of the Bears to give him some sort of playing time this year, and it will be interesting to see how many snaps he gets with the first team in practice and in training camp.

3. Mark Sanchez

Sanchez is the obvious third option. Last season he proved to be a reliable locker room piece and a person that Dak Prescott admitted to being a great leader in helping the rookie signal caller transition. Glennon will likely be focused on winning a job next year, so keeping Sanchez around to help Trubisky grow could be very important.

4. Connor Shaw

Shaw’s chances of being on the team went down ten fold when the team traded up for Trubisky. Shaw has one career start and it was back in 2014. It would be a stretch to think that he could beat out Sanchez for a spot, but he will still compete in camp.
