2. Coaching staff has moved on

Watch a Bears game. It’s painfully obvious the coaching staff doesn’t believe in Trubisky. Chicago was vanilla in its play-calling last season, with head coach Matt Nagy trying to protect him.

This offseason, the Bears hired Bill Lazor as the offensive coordinator. Lazor and Foles worked together during Foles breakout season in 2013 with the Philadelphia Eagles. Then, Lazor was the quarterback’s coach for the squad the year Foles took over for an injured Michael Vick to throw for 27 passing touchdowns to two interceptions. Foles played in 13 games posting an 8-2 record as a starter that Pro Bowl season where he led the 10-6 Eagles to an NFC East title.

The transaction will more than likely transition the Bears from Trubisky to Foles under center. The setup makes it seem pointless for the Bears to keep Trubisky beyond 2020.

While Trubisky claims he’s motivated more than ever with the arrival of Foles, at this point there may not be enough motivation to makeup for Trubisky’s shortcomings in his tenure in Chicago. Motivation alone won’t prove he has the talent, leadership or tangibles to be a franchise quarterback for the blue and orange.
