Yes, this is going to be far more exciting. After all, Trubisky will be the first rookie quarterback to start a game for the Chicago Bears since Kyle Orton did in 2005, per ESPNâs Jeff Dickerson.
And after what we all just endured with Mike Glennon, the rookie should represent a welcome change of pace.
Specifically, Trubiskyâs abilities open up every possible door Dowell Loggains could imagine exploring from a playcalling standpoint.
Fortunately, in making this move, Trubisky obviously represents an upgrade with the simple things, for starters.

For example, he, unlike his predecessor, can take a five-step drop and actually get the ball out immediately. And he has more than enough arm strength and willingness to test secondaries at multiple levels.
