May the better man (Nick Foles) win in the ‘open competition’ for Bears’ QB job

The Bears could have done better than Nick Foles when they went quarterback shopping, but he should be their starter in Week 1. If he’s not, things are even goofier with this franchise than I thought. How’s that for a ringing endorsement?

That’s what the Bears do to you. You’d like to get on board with them, but because they only sort of upgraded at the most important position in sports, you sort of can’t.

I never thought I’d see the day when general manager Ryan Pace and coach Matt Nagy would two-time Mitch Trubisky. But on a teleconference Friday with reporters, they declared an “open competition’’ between the two quarterbacks.
