After adding former Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles in March, Chicago Bears now have one of the most intriguing quarterback situations. Still, it appears that last year’s starter Mitchell Trubisky won’t let Foles’ arrival shake his confidence as he believes that the Bears is still his team.
Trubisky staged a disappointing season in 2019, failing to propel the talented Bears’ team to the playoffs. This prompted the Bears to put some pressure on him by signing a veteran competition in Foles. And it appears that this is doing the trick.
In his first interview in almost six months, Trubinsky told reporters that Foles’ arrival provided him with motivation.
“I think I was kind of pissed off in a good way. I’ve been motivated ever since,” said Trubinsky. “I think it’s going to be a good competition. Foles has had a crazy career as well so it’s been cool having him in our room talking ball. I know we’re going to push each other.”
Despite the organization’s lack of faith in him, Trubinsky still feels like he’s the main guy in Chicago.
“But I still feel like this is my team and I’m excited for the competition and just get back on the field with my guys and show everybody what I can still do and how hard I’ve been working this offseason to help the Bears win games this year,” he added.
Mitchell Trubisky, who was the second overall pick in 2017, completed 63.2 percent of his passes last season, throwing for 3,138 yards and 17 touchdowns. The Bears finished the year with an 8-8 record, not enough to make it out of NFC North.
Nick Foles was limited to only four games with Jacksonville Jaguars last season due to a shoulder injury. In four starts, he threw for 736 yards and three touchdowns.
