You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.
Each made the Pro Bowl in their second NFL season.
Foles in 2013. Trubisky in 2018.
For the sake of this discussion, let's say these seasons were their best statistically.
In that Pro Bowl season...
One QB averaged 220.4 passing yards per game including the playoffs.
The other averaged 235.1 passing yards per game including the playoffs.
One QB threw 29 TD vs 2 int.
The other had 24 TD vs 12 int.
One completed 69.7% of his passes (including the playoffs).
The other completed 66% of his passes (including the playoffs).
Also, of completed passes thrown more than 25 yards...
...one QB threw 24 such passes. (With only 4 for more than 50 yards.)
The other QB threw 27 such passes. (Also with 4 passes going for more than 50 yards.)
Who is who?
Of course, looking at how close both were in their best season, will it matter?

Who is who?
In all cases, Nick Foles is the first QB. Mitch Trubisky is "the other".
