Mitch Trubisky is set to battle Nick Foles for the Chicago Bears’ starting quarterback job. His spotty history in past position battles could be something to worry about.

Assuming you got beyond phrases like “uh,” and “um,” you probably didn’t get much further. And for a player who stood on the doorstep of a $24.8 million option this past offseason, that feels problematic, no? As fellow Bear Goggles On contributor Cameron Henderson pointed out, the Chicago Bears will have a number of position battles on its undercard.
