Who will win? Nick Foles or Mitchell Trubisky


The answer is: Both. 

Why I think this is because both have not been really good ever except for Foles in the playoffs for some reason. They both were bottom 10 QBs in like almost every stat.

Foles: 

Strengths-

Has been in the West Coast system before (and been very good)

Can run RPOs

He is familiar with the QB coach

Can be accurate when there are wide open receivers (we Bears fans adore that. Other people wouldn't understand).

Really good in the playoffs

Weaknesses-

Can be bad with a new team as we saw earlier in his career

He is coming off being injured almost the entire season and has never played a full 16 game season

Even when he came back he was benched for Minshew (Love that man)


Trubisky: 

Strengths-

He can run the ball pretty darn well if he's given the chance (Watch the Cowboys vs Bears game)

He didn't throw as many interception as last season (I know this is stupid, but still)

He can throw on the run well

He has been in this offense for more time than Foles

He knows this team and the players better

Weaknesses-

He admitted that defenses sometimes miff him with coverages
 
He misses wide open receivers

His footwork and mechanics still need developing



Obviously there is a QB competition because Mitchell Trubisky has been bad, but I think he hasn't been coached the best. His footwork still needs work and the play calls weren't exactly his strengths for most of the season. He is good when throws on the run and runs with the ball. Coach Nagy should go by what Coach Belichick says. You have to use the person to their strengths, not focus on their weaknesses.
