Mitch Trubisky

Optimist: After being coddled for two seasons under Nagy, Trubisky responds to the challenge of Nick Foles with a renewed focus. A more accurate Trubisky finds his groove with the run-pass option and blossoms with an energized offense into the unquestioned leader of the Bears.

Pessimist: Trubisky loses the quarterback derby to Foles, gets a chance to pull a Foles late in the season and falters, then rides out his time with the Bears backing up Tyler Bray.
