Mitchell Trubisky reacts to Bears acquir

knows that it's time to either show out or show yourself to the bench with the . The acquisition of fellow quarterback earlier this offseason sets the stage for head coach Matt Nagy to hold a competition for the team's starting job and keeps open the po Taywan Taylor Jersey sibility that Trubisky will be on the outside looking in when the dust settles.Friday was the first time that Trubisky spoke to reporters this offseason and was the first time he has spoken publicly about Chicago trading for Foles. The former No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 draft to the trade with Jacksonville, but is now looking at it as motivation as he is set to fight for his job later this summer."It was kind of interesting to me, but that's the busine s that we're in," Trubisky said, via .com. "I was kind of pi sed off in a good way. I've been motivated since our season ended last year NFL Tennessee Titans Jersey . I didn't feel like it went the way we wanted it to. We left a lot out there. But I'm excited for this year. I feel like it's going to be a good competition. Foles has had a crazy career, as well, so it's been cool having him in our room, talking ball. I know we're going to push each other but I still feel like this is my team."I'm excited for the competition and just getting on the field with my guys and showing everybody what I can still do and how hard I've been working this offseason to help the Bears win games this season." Trubisky owns a 23-18 record in the regular season as the Bears starter since 2017 and owns a 63.4% completion percentage, but has battled with Malcolm Butler Jersey inconsistencies throughout the course of his young career. Of the 32 eligible starting quarterbacks last season, Trubisky ranked 28th with an 83 pa ser-rating. That lackluster production, Chicago's decision to decline his fifth-year option, along with the acquisition of Foles would all point to the eventual demise of Trubisky as the Bears starter, but he is leaning on his experience within the team's system to give himself the inside track at keeping his job."I think because it's a small sample size, that advantage goes to me, just because I've been the starter here the last two years," he said. "These are my guys, my teammates, guys I've built super strong relationships (with) over Curley Culp Jersey the last two years. But at the end of the day, it comes down to on-field performance. I think we both know that, the coaches know that and our teammates know that."So when it comes down to getting on the field in training camp and competing against our defense, we just want to go out there and be a better offense. I just got to make sure the offense is better when I'm on the field, doing my job to the best I po sibly can and making sure I'm giving the Chicago Bears a great chance to win heading into the season." William Hill gives Chicago the third-best odds (+450) to win the NFC North, looking up at the (+150) and (+140) so whoever ultimately wins the starting Jeffery Simmons Jersey job will have their work cut out for them in 2020.
