Chicago Bears ā Teddy Bridgewater
We understand this is a bit of a controversial selection. Mitchell Trubisky has a lot of fans amongst the Bearsā passionate fan base. We arenāt necessarily suggesting that Matt Nagy bench him in favor of Bridgewater, but a little competition at the quarterback position could really benefit this team.
The obvious challenge here is that Bridgewater is going to look for a team thatās willing to project him as their starter in 2019. Weāre a little unsure of whether or not that sort of market is really going to materialize. If it doesnāt, the Bears would be a really interesting fit for a player with Bridgewaterās skill set.
Nagyās offense requires a quarterback to utilize mobility and make accurate short and intermediate throws. Bridgewater doesnāt throw deep balls with outstanding velocity, but heās really good closer to the line of scrimmage. Heās just the sort of quarterback who can get guys like Tarik Cohen, Jordan Howard and Trey Burton the ball in space.
Weāll understand it if the Bears elect to double down on their belief in Trubisky, but itās not the only reasonable route for the franchise to take. Acquiring a quality backup quarterback would really eliminate a lot of risk for Chicago moving forward.
