From the look of things earlier this offseason, it looked like the Bears had completely given up on Trubisky. They declined his fifth-year option, traded for an experienced veteran that had experience with Chicago’s new offensive coaching staff and shelled out $21 million guaranteed. But Nagy insisted that this quarterback competition would be an open and fair one that would give each an opportunity to win the job.

But you figure Chicago owes it one last chance to see what Trubisky can do with this new coaching staff. The Bears still have a big investment in Trubisky. The ultimate hope remains that the former No. 2 overall pick turn things around —  learn how to read a defense, clean up the processing issues and have that moment where it all clicks. And if that doesn’t work, they can always turn to Foles to carry out the remainder of the season before parting ways with Trubisky.
