Trubisky out to show he's a better QB than his Chicago days

Mitch Trubisky's tenure with the Bears was a mixed bag.

He knows that. And he knows he has his detractors because of it.

But much of the angst he felt in Chicago was out of his control. The Bears selected him with the second pick in the 2017 NFL Draft ahead of Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson, so the fans in Chicago were always going to compare him to those two star players.

And when he didn't measure up to those lofty standards, things got tough. Add in a coaching change and everything else that goes with it, and Trubisky's four years in Chicago weren't what one might typically expect from the second-overall pick in the draft.
