Chicago Bears: 5 Best decisions of the 2020 offseason

The Chicago Bears brought in a true quarterback competition

Listen up. I am a Mitchell Trubisky supporter. When it comes to stats, you can find ways to make him look completely awful. Awful to the point where many see him as the worst quarterback in the NFL. Some even seem to believe he is the worst quarterback to ever play the game of football. Honestly, I do not see it that way, but I also understand he has not been good enough.

At the end of the 2019 season press conference, Ryan Pace made it known that the team would be bringing in quarterback competition for the 2020 season. Well, the team did just that when they made the move to send a compensatory fourth-round pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars for Nick Foles.

Some of you are probably screaming in your heads that the move was awful because taking on Foles’ contract and sending away a fourth-round pick to top it off. To make matters worse, plenty of people wanted Andy Dalton, Cam Newton, Jameis Winston or Teddy Bridgewater instead. The thing is, all of them would be an improvement over Chase Daniel and essentially the decision remains a good one no matter which one of these four Pace brought in.

Personally, I was on the Dalton bandwagon, but with the COVID-19 pandemic, it makes even more sense for the move to have been for Foles now and makes the decision even better.
