On the eve of Mitch Trubisky’s first training camp as a Bears rookie in 2017, the notion that Trubisky might outplay Mike Glennon in the preseason was brushed off as a hypothetical by general manager Ryan Pace.
“Glennon’s here for a reason,” Pace said. “This thing is going to have to play out. But Mike Glennon is our starting quarterback and I don’t think now is the time to deal in hypotheticals.”
The tone was a little different when the same question was asked about rookie Justin Fields and veteran Andy Dalton on Tuesday when Pace and coach Matt Nagy held their annual training camp press conference at Halas Hall.
