Chicago Bears Offseason Stock Watch: Mitch Trubisky
Did the stock of Mitch Trubisky go up or down in the 2020 offseason?
There is not much debate about whether Mitch Trubisky is a winner or a loser of the offseason. Think about it like this, last year at this exact time Trubisky was the unquestioned starter. Heck, back in February Ryan Pace said that Trubisky was the unquestioned starter. He was not lying either, Chase Daniel and Tyler Bray were unsigned. There was no other QB on the roster.
If you compare the status of Trubisky at this point last year, six months, five months, even three months ago to right now, his stock has gone down. He is now in a quarterback competition, and the odds are currently stacked against him.
This is not to say that his time in Chicago is over, or that he has not shot to start again. Considering Nick Foles has not started 16 games in his career, Trubisky very well may see the field whether he wins the job or not.
However, there is no doubt that going from an unquestioned starter to a quarterback competition makes him a loser of the offseason.
Beyond that, his fifth-year was declined. This may have been expected after how his season went, but Trubisky is not guaranteed anything, anywhere beyond this year. That has brought out the best in some, but the actions of the Bears show their stance on whether they believe Mitch Trubisky is the quarterback of the future.
Mitch Trubisky certainly was a loser this offseason.
