At last the Mitch Trubisky era is set to begin. The excitement for fans is palpable, and with good reason. The rookie might be the most gifted quarterback the franchise has drafted in the Super Bowl era. Yes even more so than Jim McMahon. With that realization comes hope. Does that include 2017? At 1-3 the team is not entirely out of the picture, but few people have any illusions. Then again could a Chicago Bears trade target change that?
Perhaps the biggest thing holding people back isn’t Trubisky himself. Yes he’s a rookie but he’s shown he can make some plays and protect the football. The problem lay with his arsenal of weapons, or lack thereof. Chicago has two excellent running backs in Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen. The offensive line has allowed the seventh-fewest sacks in the league. Their tight ends have also shown they can be productive pass catchers.
It’s the wide receivers. Kendall Wright? Markus Wheaton? Josh Bellamy? Not the most inspiring group to start an NFL career with. It’s led to many wondering if there is any possible way to seek out help on the trade market.
