Do the Chicago Bears need to add a backup quarterback?

As the Chicago Bears enter the offseason this series will go position by position and analyze not the 2018 impact, but the 2019 and potential 2020 impact of each player. The easiest position for the Chicago Bears may be quarterback.

Mitch Trubisky

Trubisky is entering year three after finishing on a bit of a high note in terms of his overall progression as a passer. We all knew the system change with Matt Nagy would take time, and Trubisky is going to get all five of his rookie salary years to prove that. With that said, they are not talking extension yet.

Chase Daniel

Daniel is entering a contract year. While he is a fine backup and knows the playbook, his play last season did not warrant an extension even as a long term backup.

They will handle his situation next season, but may be betting on Tyler Bray.

Tyler Bray

The Chicago Bears are hoping that the progression of Tyler Bray will make this the last season for Chase Daniel in Chicago. However, if Bray does not take that step forward, the team should start to explore better long term backup options than the two that are displayed.

Knowing the playbook is great, and having smart minds in the room helps but someone needs to step in against the Giants and win a game if needed. We are not sure if that can be Bray or Chase Daniel.

Free agents or draft?

They are going to run back their quarterback room in 2019 with the intentions that if things do not break the right way, they can easily completely revamp the group in 2020.
