Let’s take a look at five things that need to happen for the Bears to have a successful 2020 season.

2. Consistent quarterback play

It always comes down to the quarterback with the Bears, and typically it doesn’t work out. While quarterback Mitchell Trubisky wasn’t the only issue on the Bears offense last season, he was a big part of the problem. Instead of progressing in his third season — the second in Matt Nagy’s offense — he regressed. Simply put, the Bears need competent quarterback play for this offense. Which shouldn’t be too much to ask.

Trubisky’s struggles prompted the Bears to trade for former Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles, who will battle Trubisky for the starting quarterback job. While many have Foles pegged as the presumed starter, don’t count Trubisky out just yet. Perhaps the competition is just what he needs. Or maybe bringing in Foles was exactly what the Bears need to make a return to the postseason. Whoever wins the starting job, they simply need to run this offense. But that’s easier said than done in Chicago.
