On Saturday, the Sun-Times generously analyzed 20 veteran quarterbacks for the Bears as the team searches for someone to “push’’ Mitch Trubisky in 2020. The story ran 1,200 words, and as I read it, I kept asking myself: “Shouldn’t Ryan Pace have to pay for the labor behind this journalistic effort? The research? The writing? The pain and suffering?’’
A dollar a word and an extra $50 for any mention of Joe Flacco, Josh Rosen or Taysom Hill sounds about right.
Ah, the continued cost and passed-on misery of the general manager’s ill-fated decision to take Trubisky with the second overall pick in the 2017 draft.
