Chicago Bears fans, we must have this discussion about the future

The Chicago Bears still aren’t drafting within the top five

The Chicago Bears are on a six-game slide. It sucks, it is annoying, and we all are now calling for people’s heads. All I want to share in the article are some things that many might not have caught. Starting with the quarterbacks, the fight over who should have started from day one for the Chicago Bears is over and done with.

Combined, Mitch Trubisky and Nick Foles have passed for 2,921 yards on the season with 20 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. I don’t know if the Chicago Bears had stuck with Mitch Trubisky if those would be his numbers currently, but it sounds pretty close. While that isn’t enough yards in this day and age, but you can win with that. Ryan Tannehill, Kyler Murray, Ben Rothlisberger, and Baker Mayfield are in that ballpark.

Mitch Trubisky regressed last season but won 11 games in 2018 with similar ending stats. If you add 243 yards per game average, The Chicago Bears quarterbacks combined will finish with 3,893 yards. That is around 300 more yards than in 2018.

A touchdown a game would tie their total passing touchdowns in 2018, which had it been mostly Mitch Trubisky, that would have been his career-high. If you add in his rushing ability for some of those games, the Chicago Bears might not be in third place in the division right now. The issue in Chicago is still the quarterback play, offensive line, and play calling, but includes lack of patience.

The Chicago Bears were so quick to pull the quarterback from the starting lineup. They were very quick to play players with experience instead of testing out other players. My example is Rashaad Coward and Ted Ginn Jr. I understand it was a short off-season, but you can’t believe that Sam Mustipher just all of a sudden became a solid starting center? We could have talked about Mustipher, James Daniels, and Cody Whitehair starting on the interior with Germain Ifedi coming in as relief.
