Bears’ Mitchell Trubisky has been ‘uneven’ during training camp

The Chicago Bears have high hopes for quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, but training camp brought its ups and downs.

There has been plenty of optimism surrounding the Chicago Bears this offseason. At the forefront of this excitement has been the development of quarterback Mitchell Trubisky.

Unfortunately, Trubisky has yet to show any signs of consistency through training camp. According to Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune, he has had some trouble grasping head coach Matt Nagy's new scheme on offense.

The second-year quarterback was uneven throughout camp as he wrestled with Nagy’s scheme. He averaged about two interceptions per day through the first 10 practices, mixing misfires with flashes of why the Bears believe in him enough to have constructed their new coaching staff around him. Trubisky is a respected team leader, and his athleticism stands out. But the season depends on how well he commands the scheme.

Trubisky's struggles are certainly a cause for concern. He was not shy about embracing the expectations that come with being a former second overall pick. Chicago gave Trubisky quite the vote of confidence after surrounding him with the necessary pieces to succeed.

Aside from the arrival of Nagy, the addition of playmakers such as wide receivers Allen Robinson and Taylor Gabriel, plus tight end Trey Burton, has brought some serious firepower to this offense. However, it appears Trubisky still has yet to find his footing as the Bears' starter thus far.

Regardless of the moves Chicago made this offseason, any success they enjoy this year will be contingent on Trubisky's performance. That said, they are hoping the second-year quarterback can start to make some serious strides by the time the regular season rolls around.
