Chicago Bears: NFC playoff elimination so we can see Mr. Biscuits whip it
The Chicago Bears might have their best franchise quarterback since Sid Luckman, or since Jim McMahon, or since Jay Cutler, but we still don’t know how good Mitchell Trubisky can be. Since head coach John Fox is clinging on to his Bears job for his dear life, he’s playing the rookie quarterback of North Carolina like he’s Blake Bortles in timeout or something.
So this year, I know you’ll hate this, but we’re getting you eliminated from the NFC playoffs race as quickly as possible. Get Fox out of here so that we can see Mr. Biscuits whip that football like he’s good report card Bortles.
Trubisky has some great qualities as a quarterback. He throws a catchable ball, he doesn’t make many mistakes with his arm, he’s mobile. For all we know, the Bears might have traded the farm to move up a spot to draft their very own Carson Wentz. Too bad we have no idea how good Biscuits can be.
With the Bears out of the playoffs, Chicago needs to see both a four-touchdown game out of Trubisky, as well as a four-pick game. Let’s see what the kid’s got! You’re picking in the top 10 anyway Chicago because you’re the Bears. I want you to have fun with your new toy. Just don’t kick the Ferrari through the glass door like you’re Cameron Frye or something. You’re done wiping Trubisky with a diaper.
