2. QB Nick Foles
Following Trubisky’s struggles in 2019, the Bears went out and traded for Foles — giving up a fourth-round compensatory pick and $21 million guaranteed for his services. Which speaks volumes of how high the Bears and Nagy are on Foles. With the uncertainty surrounding this season, Chicago brought in an experienced veteran with knowledge of Nagy’s offense and someone that could both challenge Trubisky and/or replace him as the team’s starter.
While Foles was once believed to have the advantage heading into Chicago’s quarterback battle, an entirely virtual offseason and the cancellation of preseason has turned that into a disadvantage. Foles doesn’t have the years of experience that Trubisky has with these skill position players. But if Foles can go out there and show that he can execute this offense with efficiency — and Trubisky can’t — he’ll easily win the starting job.
