Chicago Bears: Examining the 2020 quarterback options

If the 2020 season has proven one thing for the Chicago Bears, it is that Mitchell Trubisky is not the long-term answer at the quarterback position. Bears’ general manager Ryan Pace will get a chance to rectify the position in 2020. The question is, who will be Pace’s solution?

It does not take Kansas City Chiefs’ starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes counting the number players selected ahead of him while playing against the Chicago Bears on Sunday night to make Bears’ general manager Ryan Pace realize that he made the wrong selection in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Pace, of course, mortgaged his future on Mitchell Trubisky when he moved up from the third overall selection to the second overall selection to select former North Carolina Tar Heel. The same draft that featured the aforementioned Mahomes and Houston Texan’, Deshaun Watson.

Pace has long defended the move by saying that when you identify a potential franchise-altering player at the quarterback position, there is no price steep enough. While Pace’s logic is not wrong, there is no question that he made the wrong selection.

After a 2019 season that saw Trubisky regress from his 2018 sophomore season campaign, the sentiment is growing stronger than the Bears need a change at the quarterback position in 2020.

In order for that to become reality, Pace will need to admit that he made a mistake with the Trubisky selection in 2017. Assuming that Pace is willing to put his ego aside and admit that a mistake was made, the question becomes who will Pace chose as the answer to the Bears’ quarterback position in 2020.

So lets fast forward to the Opening Weekend of the 2020 NFL Season. Let’s run through the options of who will be the Bears’ starting quarterback.
