Is Mitch Trubisky on his way to becoming the Chicago Bears’ starting quarterback?
Denver-based radio host Benjamin Allbright reported on Friday that he was getting a lot of text messages saying Trubisky is expected to be named the Bears’ starting quarterback.

The Bears traded up in the draft to take Trubisky No. 2 overall in the draft. They dealt a third and fourth-round pick in 2017, plus a 2018 third-round pick to move up one spot for Trubisky. What made the move odd was the Bears had invested in Mike Glennon by signing him as soon as free agency began.
Chicago has used Glennon exclusively through the first four games of the season even though he has turned the ball over eight times. Though John Fox stood by Glennon after the first three games, he changed his tune following the four-turnover game at Green Bay on Thursday and said he was open to a change.
When speaking with the media on Friday, Fox said no decision had been made yet regarding the team’s QB. He also acknowledged he was being intentionally vague.
Fox, asked to clarify his QB situation: "I'm not really trying to be clear…just the opposite." …hey, at least that's an honest answer.

It could be close to Trubisky time for the Bears.
