The 25-year-old hasn’t really taken that leap forward in year three. Though he threw for 253 yards in Week 8, he didn’t find the end zone. In six games this season, he has just five touchdown passes to three interceptions. He’s contributed to the Bears’ red zone struggles that have left fans fuming.
What may be working in Trubisky’s favor is the fact that backup Chase Daniel didn’t look great filling in when the starter was injured. Plus, the Bears have made Trubisky their franchise quarterback, and they’re not giving up on that yet.
