4. It gives Mitchell Trubisky a shot to prove himself
Even though a lot of people are done with Mitchell Trubisky, you have to give him a shot. Bringing in Foles doesn’t guarantee either quarterback the starting job. It’s going to have to be earned in training camp and throughout the preseason. The competition for both quarterbacks could elevate their game.
If the Bears brought in Newton, he had to be guaranteed the starting job. That’s how it’s looking for the Patriots even though there was high praise on second-year quarterback Jarrett Stidham.
