Bears QB battle in Matt Nagy’s hands

Bears coach Matt Nagy seems to know he picked the wrong year to have an open competition at quarterback.

“It’s not easy, but it’s going to get done,” Nagy said when asked about choosing either Mitch Trubisky or Nick Foles without the benefit of preseason games due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Even in normal times, the process of picking a starting quarterback prior to the start of the regular season is rife with potential for false positives — especially with the preseason devolving in recent seasons into a battleground to pick the bottom half of the roster.
