completing 26 of 42 passes for 249 yards, a touchdown and interception<\/a>.<\/p>\nIf you showed those stat lines to ANY football fan, and didn’t tell them who the quarterback was for the Bears that day, most would have guessed it was Trubisky, which it wasn’t, and therein lies the big question- should Chicago have benched Trubisky?<\/p>\n
Quarterbacks struggle- everyone does.\u00a0 Brady didn’t look sharp in week one, Garoppolo was off, Lamar Jackson threw for under 100 yards against the Chiefs, and Sam Darnold, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Dwayne Haskins, Carson Wentz, Kirk Cousins, and Daniel Jones have had a couple of bad football games this year, yet none saw the bench like Trubisky did.<\/p>\n
Chicago was quick to pull the plug on number 10, and even quicker to bench him the following week.\u00a0 Yet, despite his struggles in week one, Trubisky led a ferocious comeback to beat the Lions on the road.\u00a0 He had the Bears at a perfect 2-0 record when he was pulled against Atlanta in week 3, despite leading the Bears up until that point, to their only points of the game.<\/p>\n
Yes, some quarterbacks should be benched, no question, it’s just not their day, and we’ve seen plenty of that through week 4 already.\u00a0 The thing is, most of these benchings have been with a backup quarterback playing, guys named Hoyer, Driskel, and Mullens, all saw the plug pulled, not Haskins, Jones, and Darnold, yet…and yet, Chicago did exactly that.<\/p>\n
