Brendan: Mitchell Trubisky
It’s fairly obvious Trubisky has the upper hand on Nick Foles as the Bears enter camp. Head coach Matt Nagy even said so himself during the Bears press conference on Wednesday. It’s been well documented that Trubisky has been throwing to many of his current teammates, while also working with quarterback trainer Jeff Christiansen on improving his technique during the spring and summer. He’s doing everything in his power to win this job and since coaches haven’t had a chance to truly evaluate him or Foles, Trubisky has the early lead.
But…it’s early. When the practices begin, the real competition starts, and things may begin to turn in Foles’ favor once he has a chance to settle in with his former coaches. I’ve been on record saying Foles will win this job when it’s all said and done. For now, however, Trubisky will get the first crack when the offense breaks the huddle in camp and due to the circumstances, he may hold onto the starting spot for longer than initially anticipated.
