First-and-10: Lowering the bar for Mitch Trubisky

Two games into Mitch Trubisky’s second season in Matt Nagy’s offense, it’s too early to condemn the third-year quarterback after a slow start. But it’s about time to lower the bar.

Just as Trubisky skeptics have to stop looking for a better option — the Bears aren’t going there — Trubisky believers of any degree would be well-advised to stop thinking of Trubisky as the No. 2 pick in the draft. He ain’t that.

You can’t discount the possibility that the struggling Bears catch fire, but for now it looks like this will be a season-long battle against regression.
