Chicago Bears: Five concerns about QB competition

4. No preseason

Preseason was supposed to be the biggest indicator of where both Mitch Trubisky and Nick Foles were at. It was also supposed to play a focal point in who would end up being the starting quarterback simply because Matt Nagy and his staff were going to use the preseason as added evaluation.

With no preseason, we’ve been forced to watch Trubisky and Foles battle against the same defense everyday. The first few days, something like this is fine, however, at some point, you ideally want your quarterbacks to be playing against a different defense.

The reality is that teams all across the NFL will likely get off to slow starts once the 2020 regular season begins. 32 teams around the NFL, including the Bears, have not gotten the chance to play in live-action games in nearly nine months. That means there could be a lot of sloppy football to open up the season.

For the Bears quarterbacks, that means that shaky play right out of the game could hinder the team. Until the quarterbacks are in sync and on the same page with Nagy and his coaching staff, the defense will need to continue to carry the team if the Bears are going to make some noise in 2020.
