The Chicago Bears have to be cursed when it comes to finding a man behind center. The best quarterback in Bears history is still Sid Luckman who played during the 1940’s. Jay Cutler might have most of the Bears passing records but we know how that turned out. It’s been decades and decades of drafting quarterbacks that have turned into hot garbage when the Bears open them up like a gift  every year from under the tree during Christmas. Then all the has-beens that walked in and out of Chicago like some kind of zombie trying to remember where they originally were drafted from. Then the Mitch Trubisky project. This project is like a spreading fungus that is destroying everything in its path. This off season the Bears had a chance with so many reliable options on the free market and through trades out there they could find a man behind center. To right the ship. Put out the fire. Ryan Page instead pours gasoline on the fire and the Bears have added the best back up quarterback in the league in Nick Foles.

Ryan Pace wanted an open competition with Mitch Trubisky this off season for the starting nod. I can see most quarterbacks giving the Bears a big  fat NO to that idea. So here we go again as we ride the Ryan Pace broken down quarterback bus with no wheels. It all started with the signing of Mike Glennon. Then Ryan Pace drafted Mitch Trubisky. Pace told Glennon he was the guy and then they draft a quarterback.

Then Pace wasted draft picks to move up one spot with the San Francisco 49ers to get Mitch Trubisky that no one had interest in that early. The same draft the Bears did not think Deshaun Watson was the better option. Yes I will say even Patrick Mahomes. Both passed up for Mitch Trubisky. The first season Mike Glennon was horrifying. It was like 4 games hard to stomach kind of play. Mitch Trubisky was inserted into the line up ever since. Trubisky’s play has not been consistent. Trubisky had some nice games in 2018. Faltered towards the end. In 2019 Mitch Trubisky was very bad. At the end of the regular season Trubisky did a little bit better versus inferior teams. This off season Ryan Pace is swinging for the fences with all his signings. Bringing in older guys. This is like the last Hail Mary with this great defense the Bears have. The Bears and Ryan Pace trade yet another draft pick away this time to Jacksonville for Nick Foles. Bears used  a 4th round draft pick as they hardly have any picks in the first place, all had been dealt. The Bears use this one to pry a back up quarterback that is being paid a lot of money. Like a starter.

Someone should tell Ryan Pace to come back to reality and get out of the year 2013. The last year Nick Foles played almost the full NFL regular season slate and did well. The last good year Jimmy Graham had when he was all pro was also in 2013. It depends who you ask about Nick Foles and about his play. Last year in Jacksonville Foles only played in 4 games and he stunk. In Philadelphia Nick Foles is a legend . Foles is the man who took down the Evil Empire in the Superbowl in 2018. Foles even has a statue of himself like Rocky in Philadelphia for what he did for the Eagles. Then Foles is the same guy who led his Eagles at the time over the Bears in that playoff game where the double doink is still heard these days on a windy day. That day at Soldiers Field, Trubisky out played Foles but Eagles prevailed over the Bears. Could Nick Foles replace another high draft pick gone wrong for GM Ryan Pace?

The Bears could have signed Teddy Bridgewater as a free agent. Bridgewater is only 27 years old and played very well last season with the New Orleans Saints filling in for Drew Brees where he was undefeated as a starter. Screw the open competition and make Bridgewater your guy. Let Trubisky stand on the sidelines and learn to take a year off to find himself. However if you do that then you’re stating the obvious that Mitch Trubisky was a bad draft pick. Even Captain Obvious can tell you the Trubisky pick is just bad. Pace and the Bears are still in denial. I thought that Andy Dalton would have been the best fit for the Bears through a trade. Dalton has ties to Bears offensive coach Bill Lazor. Dalton is 32 years old. Bears are throwing everything at this last chance which includes the kitchen sink and the garbage disposal. Dalton has been durable most times throughout his career. Dalton has made it to some pro bowls. Dalton has guided his team to the playoffs multiple times. Early playoff round exits have haunted Andy Dalton. Bears should inquire about Dalton’s services even with Nick Foles. Dalton plays regular season Foles starts in the playoffs. Trubisky can go fetch the doughnuts.

Bears brain trust plot is they hope Mitch Trubisky can win the open competition which will probably be rigged. If Mitch Trubisky breaks out and does well they keep Nick Foles on the bench. Nick Foles is the better quarterback option. Foles knows the offense better then Trubisky. Bears obviously wanted Foles because of ties he has with the coaching staff. Last season John Difilippo was the Jacksonville Jaguars quarterbacks coach where Nick Foles was. Then Bill Lazor once again has ties to Nick Foles as well as he was the quarterbacks coach when Nick Foles was an Eagle in that 2013 season. Seems to me it is an organization divided. The front office wants Mitch Trubisky to avoid egg on their face once again in their list of flops in the first round. The coaching staff probably secretly wants Nick Foles. The problem here is can either one of these quarterbacks be the guy that gets the Bears even to the playoffs? Nick Foles can’t stay healthy. Mitch Trubisky can’t play consistent. Plus the offensive line is in shambles. Is there a door number three? Please anything.
