2. It’s unfortunate a QB hasn’t emerged from the pack yet
Yes, this was the first padded practice and we only have a few first-hand observations of the quarterback competition between Mitchell Trubisky and Nick Foles. But the news coming out of Monday’s practice wasn’t very inspiring. According to multiple reporters, neither quarterback pulled away from the pack.
@CEmma670 on w/ @LaurenceWHolmes said neither QB was particularly sharp at #Bears practice. Both Foles & Mitch got equal reps. The Defense was sharp & the front 7 was reportedly in the backfield a lot. Emma said he was impressed w/ Luis Castillo & his vocal high energy style.

Neither QB distinguished himself at #Bears camp today. Mitch Trubisky had one throw he'd like back. There were some drops. There is a heavy focus on the QBs' decision-making right now, Nagy said.

While this isn’t bad news, per say, it’s a similar observation from last year’s camp with Trubisky at the helm. His practices left a lot to be desired and concerns began to surface about the Bears offense. The struggles are not entirely on the passers, however. Receivers had a few bad drops as well on Monday. Still, the best thing for the Bears is to have one player separate themselves. If you have two starting quarterbacks, you don’t have any.
