Chicago Bears: Pros and cons of starting Mitchell Trubisky in Week 5
Letâs talk about the question on everybodyâs mind: whatâs going to happen in Mitch Trubiskyâs first start for the Chicago Bears?
Ladies and gentlemen, the time has officially come: Mitch Trubisky is going to start his first NFL game next Monday.
Glory, glory, hallelujah.
If youâre most Chicago Bears fans, youâve probably been wanting to see this since Preseason Week 2.
Watching him clearly outplay Mike Glennon for the majority of training camp was quite a maddening experience. In a true competition, Trubisky wouldâve had a strong chance of winning. So, save the âif he were good enough to play, he wouldâve already been startingâ bit. The Bears decided months ago that Trubisky wouldnât start as long as Glennon could play at a functional level.
Too bad that was a totally ridiculous thing to expectâŠ
On the other hand, maybe youâre one of the people that soured on him after seeing him struggle somewhat in his time with the starters during the preseason or donât want to see him hurt/struggle with bad receivers.Â
While Iâm not as worried about that as some, that doesnât mean those fears are invalid.
No matter what happens, though, this week should be one of the most anticipated in recent Chicago Bears history.
Letâs take a look at some of the good and bad that could come from him starting in Week 5 against the Minnesota Vikings.
