Winning record
Having said all that about Trubisky not having things go super well for him so far in the NFL… he does have some numbers to suggest he’s decent.
While some might argue that this is not a quarterback stat, there’s still no debating: Trubisky has a winning record in the league. He’s 29-21 overall in his career and has a winning record every season aside from his rookie year. In addition, he has a completion percentage of 64 percent in his career, including a career-high 67 percent last season.
Bills had draft interest
The 2017 offseason was a weird one for the Bills. After the regular season ended, Rex Ryan was fired, and then Sean McDermott was hired. From there, Doug Whaley stuck around as general manager until that year’s draft and was fired after it.
The reasoning was because Whaley wasn’t just let go, the entire scouting staff was. If Buffalo did that before the draft? They’d have zero intel on prospects.
At the end of the day, it was clear that McDermott was calling the shots, but according to a previous report, the Bills did have interest in Trubisky and Whaley reportedly liked him during the lead up to that year’s draft. Buffalo even had a pre-draft workout with him.
Smoked the Bills
Trubisky has played one game against the Bills in his career-to-date. You might have erased it from your mind.
In 2018, Trubisky led the Bears to a beatdown of the Bills, 41-9. Buffalo failed to score in the first half while Chicago took a 28-0 lead into the half.
Trubisky wasn’t overly great that day, as he was 12-for-20 passing for 135 yards with a touchdown, and interception. But a win’s a win. He didn’t have three interceptions like Nathan Peterman in the game, at least.
And for what it’s worth: Tre’Davious White picked him off.
Award winner
Trubisky is an award-winning quarterback.
Last season the NFL put some football on an interesting channel: Children’s network Nickelodeon. Despite the Bears losing the game to the Saints, Trubisky won the “NVP” Award… the “Nickelodeon Valuable Player.”

In a more serious honor, he was named a Pro Bowler in 2018.
Has connected with one Bills WR
Is Tanner Gentry a lock for the Bills roster in 2021 now? The wide receiver who signed a reserve/ futures contract with Buffalo after their season ended… has played with both Allen and Trubisky.
Gentry attended the University of Wyoming. There’s the Allen connection. Then in a wild game, Trubisky and Gentry have connected on the NFL field before. Once.
In 2017, Trubisky and the Bears beat the Panthers, 17-3. In that game, the QB was only 4-for-7 passing. Of his four completions, Gentry caught one for eight yards. In Gentry’s entire NFL career, he has three catches for 35 yards and one of those came from Trubisky.
