Bears to drag out QB competition

Foles, Trubisky both likely to start for Bears

Only 12 NFL teams had quarterbacks start all 16 games in 2019. The Chicago Bears have not had a quarterback accomplish such a feat since the 2009 season. The Bears currentMore quarterbacks, newcomer NICK FOLES and holdover MITCHELL TRUBISKY, have never started all games for a full season. Using history as a guide, both signal-callers are likely to start at some point in the upcoming season. Fantasy owners take note. Less

Open QB competition coming to Chicago

Chicago Bears GM Ryan Pace said on Friday that there would be an “open competition” between MITCH TRUBISKY and NICK FOLES to determine who will be the starting quarterback heading intoMore the 2020 season. Trubisky started 41 games over three seasons for the Bears, but his performance has been underwhelming at times.

Your fantasy team likely has better options than either of these quarterbacks. Less
