Tell that to John Fox.


Going into a season with the attitude that they are going to suck, will probably result in them sucking.


You've stated yourself, that they have the potential for a top rated defense. They have the potential to be a top rated running game. Their o-line is pretty dang good.

Really, QB and WR are the only real questions, and I think the receiving corps is good enough, particularly with a good D and running game.

That leaves QB.


I see no reason to wait. These kids can handle more than their predecessors. If it were up to me, I'd go all-in on Trubs. I would be actively shopping Glennon, RIGHT NOW.

There are plenty of reasons to rush it. If you believe in Howard, if you believe in Whitehair and Floyd, and the o-line...Hicks and Freeman, etc. Not getting him in there is wasting another year of their careers, because we ALL know what we're going to get from Glennon.

The Packers didn't rush Rodgers, because they had Favre. They didn't need to rush him in there, as they had a good QB. Glennon is steaming dogshit, and everyone knows it.

The average career in the NFL is what, 5 years? Get em' out there while they are still fresh and young.

Sitting him, could do as much harm as throwing him to the wolves for his confidence. We went all-in in the draft. Why stop there?

No one said that... I think they can be solid. However, it is beyond stupid to rush a 22 year old rookie QB's career, over possibly gaining 1-2 more wins early on in his rookie year. Which over the course of what we hope to be a career of around 200 games, means nothing. Less than nothing... Stop

because we ALL know what we're going to get from Glennon.

No, we don't. We have not seen him play yet. We've seen three pre-season quarters. We can go down a laundry list of QB's who looked horrendous in pre-season, and played well in the regular season over the years. Remember how Hoyer didn't even look like a CFL QB in the pre-season last year? This was also against backups, lol. I'm not saying Glennon is good, but Jesus dude... you're trying and reaching SOOO hard.

We also REALLY have not seen Trubisky play yet.

As of right now, before Sunday. Without even seeing Trub take a snap versus a first team defense, and do any kind of a full-field read or progression. Suggesting he should be the starter, is downright juvenile. I'm sorry.

I... I just can't...

For this good starting QB that you are hoping Trub is? 5 years?

I don't actually have to address this, do I?

Sitting him, could do as much harm as throwing him to the wolves for his confidence.

Lol... Just stop for a second, and look at how hard you're trying to justify all of this to yourself.

Sitting him was the plan. The fact that he's even getting reps with the 1's on Sunday, is more than he was ever promised.

The Packers didn't rush Rodgers, because they had Favre. They didn't need to rush him in there, as they had a good QB. Glennon is steaming dogshit, and everyone knows it.

Rodgers/Favre is all completely irrelevant. There is anecdotal evidence on both sides of QB's sitting and playing.

Glennon being bad is also irrelevant. He's a place-holder.

If it were up to me, I'd go all-in on Trubs.

Yeah... we know.

Everyone is all in on Trubs. You're just going about it with the absence of any rationale, common sense or foresight. You're reacting like an excited fan should, so I can't blame you. However, it's good we don't get to run the team for this reason.

First off, the "5 years" argument is aimed more at the OTHER players mentioned...Howard en sech.


You are such a fucking Bears homer dude. They could trot out any PLAN, and you'd think it was the exact way it was supposed to be done.


"The plan" shouldn't be static. When they signed Glennon, they had no certainty they'd get Trubisky.

If this Sunday, Glennon resembles the Glennon we've seen thus far, against vanilla defenses and Trubs resembles what we've seen so far from him, Trubs will start week 1. He SHOULD start week 1 if that ends up the case. Glennon has thrown a pick six, and what should've/could've been a redzone pick six. He has looked stiff, and limited.



Please now...respond with some holier than thou, know-it-all response, properly set out and highlighted so that it makes it seem like you might be the authority. You're not. Not anymore than anyone else on here.

Trubs isn't starting week one unless there's an injury

Listen, I realize that is the plan, but if Glennon continues to shit the bed, and Trubs looks lights out, how can you justify not letting him play? I realize it's a lot of "Ifs", but the coaches have already taken notice by giving him starter reps.

One more egg by Glennon, coupled with another stellar performance from Trubs, and it will be tough to keep him off the field.


I hope Glennon literally shit his pants on the field.

It's preseason. Lots of QBs look good in preseason. Glennon will be the starter week 1. We have practically guaranteed that. The conversation will start when he sucks in week 1. Besides, the first few games the bears play are practically tossing a young QB to the dogs. He could really struggle. I think Glennon has half the season. If he sucks, throw in trubisky on the weaker part of the schedule. Help him build confidence, and who knows, maybe even makes run.

Trubs will start the season. How can anyone not see this. Best player plays in the NFL. Fox's job is on the line. You want your job in Glennons hands?
