3. Trubisky lacks the ability to inspire

Last season, there were times the team looked desperate enough to think their backup quarterback Chase Daniel would be an upgrade from Trubisky.

When the defense began to breakdown midway through the season, the unit seemed fatigued from having to constantly carry the offense. It was amazing the Bears defense only allowed 12 points in the first half of the Week 9 matchup against the Eagles. That was the game were the Bears offense only dialed up nine yards of total offense in the first half.

This is why the Bears can’t go back to Trubisky beyond 2020. His presence sends the wrong message to the team, especially one with a stout defense as talented as this squad.

Trubisky has been handed the job just because he was Ryan Pace’s guy in the 2017 NFL Draft. He has not had a serious quarterback battle since he arrived. So when Trubisky struggles and holds back the team, it sends the wrong message to everyone else on the squad who has competition at their spot and earned their job.

The Bears need a veteran quarterback or a young quarterback who’s performance on the field can actually inspire the team.
