From the start of this competition, there was always this feeling that regardless of who won this battle, that there was a chance that we could see both quarterbacks at some point this season. Whether that was due to injury or COVID-19 concerns or struggles by the determined starter.

The Bears are in a much better position than they were at this time last year. When Trubisky struggled, they couldn’t turn to backup Chase Daniel to relieve him. Even when he struggled, Trubisky still gave the Bears a better chance to win than Daniels. Now with Foles on the bench — where he’s been known for coming off the bench and finding success — the Bears have someone to turn should Trubisky revert to the struggles that doomed him last season.
