Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky returned for his team's game against the New Orleans Saints this past Sunday after missing nearly two full games with a dislocated left shoulder, and while didn't play horribly, he didn't play well enough to inspire any confidence that he is going to improve at some point this season.

The third-year signal-caller completed 34 of his 54 passes for 251 yards and a couple of touchdowns. No, he didn't throw any interceptions, but he averaged a meager 4.7 yards per pass attempt, which is not going to cut it.

The Bears proceeded to lose the game by a score of 36-25, and afterwards, Trubisky's bemoaned Chicago's lack of offensive production:

“I mean, right now we have no identity,” Trubisky said, according to Patrick Finley of The Chicago Sun-Times. “We’re just searching. We don’t have any rhythm. We’re not the offense we were last year, and every year is different, every game is different. We’ve just got to find ways, look within ourselves, and we’ve got to have guys step up.”

To be fair to Trubisky, he is far from the only problem on offense, as the ground game has also been disastrous.

In spite of having what many thought was a rather impressive running back trio of Mike Davis, Tarik Cohen and David Montgomery, the Bears' rushing offense has suffered this season, and this past weekend, it totaled just 17 yards, and Davis didn't even get a carry.

Still, Trubisky is shouldering most of the blame:

“All I know how to do is look at myself first; how can I get better this week, how can I step up and make my teammates better, and how can I help fix this offense,” he said.

Chicago is now 3-3 on the season and will take on the Los Angeles Chargers next Sunday.
