Chicago Bears: Three duds from a Week 17 loss to the Packers
By Cody Young
Mitch Trubisky showed once again why the Chicago Bears should part ways
Dud #1: Mitch Trubisky
Mitch Trubisky has probably been the most scrutinized player on the Chicago Bears for the last four years. The former first-round pick never lived up to his potential and a first-round playoff exit may finally end this marriage between the two parties.
Mitch is that girlfriend who has cheated on you multiple times but for whatever reason fans keep buying back into what he’s offering. He says all the right things but saying and doing are two completely different things.
Just when you think he’s turned the corner, he plays an average defense, and the offense resorts right back to square one. Mitch has proven time and time again that he is a one-read QB who can’t read the defense pre-snap or push the ball downfield after the snap.
For weeks it was the playcalling, the offensive line, the gameplan but at some point, you have to look at the mirror and be honest with yourself. The Chicago Bears chose the wrong guy in 2017, this much is clear. It’s a monumental miss that may haunt the franchise until they finally find themselves a quality QB.

Whether fans of the team like it or not, Mitch coming back on a one-year deal is very much on the table. Making the playoffs may have sealed the deal to give this regime one more chance. I honestly do like Mitch and what I’ve said about him may be harsh but the Bears have to move in a new direction in 2021 because what they have been doing, flat out has not been working.
