Chicago Bears: Last chance for Mitch Trubisky to prove himself

Will Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky put it together in year four?

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky starts the season with a new first impression every year. This year is different for the fourth-year pro though. It came with a little fire behind him. The Chicago Bears front office brought in Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles for competition. Trubisky gained the edge as the Week 1 starter after a limited training camp and no preseason.

Many fans across the league are speculating on the situation as his “Last Dance” with the team. Trubisky doesn’t need to focus on winning fans over. That inevitably comes with improved play. At best, he can prove them wrong and restore reputations across the staff. Most importantly, he can redeem himself.

Extensions were already given out for fellow 2017 quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson. This year, Trubisky must complete his task. What’s established with the quarterbacks of his class is already set in stone. It’s time for him to set his legacy. Chicago chose to decline his fourth-year option, making him a free agent in 2021.

This is likely Trubisky’s last chance to prove himself in a Chicago Bears uniform

There’s a lot to gain and much to lose for Tribusky. If all fails, his run in Chicago will be one for the books. If everything works out, Chicago will at long last have their guy and faith will be restored. Chicago kicks it off against Detroit for week one. This is a team that Trubisky plays exceptionally well against. An ideal way for Mitch to open the playbook is against a divisional opponent and one he consistently shows up for.

Trubisky needs to show the continuous improvement that got him the spot. He’s a good runner, has a good work ethic, and could pull together and rallies. What needs to be clear is that he’s here to stay. There are players like Allen Robinson, who’s worthy of an extension, naturally depending on his production. Mitch must rely on the weapons and take shots as QB1.

Situationally, you’d want your quarterback to do what it takes to win. Only getting by as starting quarterback brings unnecessary pressure. It’ll be best for Tribusky to maintain trust in his players and coach by showing he’s progressing. It’s time for him to own the starting quarterback position.

Contract seasons for players’ place everything is under the scope. Trubisky needs to come out striking in Week 1. A good day will set the tone off right for him. It’s all on the table for Mitch Trubisky versus the Lions.
