How long do bears stick with trubs before going to foles?

I think I may have identified one of Trub's problems. I've never really studied QB mechanics, but it can't possibly be right that a QB with his arm cocked back for a throw has the ball perpendicular to his body:

Trubisky benched already?

Trubisky benched already?

And Foles tossed 5 TD's in a quarter and a half on all different drives, though 1 was dropped and 1 reversed. That's most impressive.

And what makes this even more impressive is when you take into account that Foles probably took no more than a quarter of the snaps with the first team all week in practice.

Absolutely astounding that the Bears even started the season with Trubisky under center.

Not really. We have to remember there was barely a training camp, let alone any preseason games to allow Foles to get acclimated to the Bears O. Trubisky had a tremendous advantage in that regard, not to mention he had been practicing in the offseason, even thruout the pandemic with some of his receivers. Foles needed to continue practicing and of course watching real time games from the sidelines long enough to get pretty much up to speed. It was the perfect time to put him in the game, and it's the perfect time to announce he's now the starter.

Weirdly, it was removed on the very next series. (visor)

Was a shock and awe tactic. Falcons were shook.

My body is so ready for all this meme-age coming Bears fans' way...A QB where other teams' fans are not like "LOL HE SUK SO BAD" and we keep getting the Grossman/Cutler/Trubisky meme treatment....No....for now they will talk about our QB's huge dong and Super Bowl winning history.

*tears well up*

We deserve a few more weeks of this minimum. I know Foles isn't the greatest ever and he'll have some "come back down to earth" games...but this is...nice.

 

[Anointed One]

What's nice is that Allen Robinson is noticeable on the team again... At least Foles will get their best weapon involved in the passing game, unlike Trubisky...

The week 3 over reactions:

Judging Week 3 NFL overreactions: Is Trubisky done in Chicago? How bad is the NFC East?

The Bears made a quarterback change, but don't count out Trubisky yet. Plus, does any team want to win the NFC East? Let's overreact to Week 3.

Mitchell Trubisky has started his last game for the Bears​

The verdict: OVERREACTION. Surely, Foles will start next week against the Colts. But he's a career backup who hasn't always been the picture of health and has lost starting quarterback competitions on four different teams -- including his current team less than a month ago. The Bears' coaching staff thought enough of Trubisky's progress by the end of August that they gave him the job over Foles.

Having given up 3 additional (they did get a third round pick back) draft choices and to move up one spot from third to second becasue they thought some other team wanted Trubisky, this may be the biggest bust in history when considering that they would have either had Trubisky, or would have has to "settle" for either Mahomes or Watson.
Talk about a miscalculation of talent.
Wonder if any team would take, the Bears 21, and 22 first rounders, plus Trubisky (they must take Trubisky), plus Miller, plus a top defensive player for the rights to Trevor Lawrence. The deal breaker would be having to take Trubisky, so probably not.

Trubisky is a FA after this season, so there's no have to with him.

technically both were reversed. Plus the three that stood.

To be fair, Trubisky can play a little bit. Up to the level of 2nd overall pick? Obviously not otherwise we wouldn't have got Foles and he wouldn't have lost his job. Trubisky was a pro-bowl alternate in 2018 when the offensive line played well and the run game wasn't a complete disaster. Trubisky has looked like a good QB at times this season, at least functional. He'll have no problem finding a backup job or even a chance to compere for a starting job and I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him emerge as a solid starter in a couple years a la Ryan Tannehill.
