It remains to be seen who the Chicago Bears deploy as their starting quarterback next season, but Allen Robinson isn't too concerned about it. While the wide receiver heads into a contract year with the Bears, Robinson is confident regardless of who is manning the quarterback position in 2020.
During a conference call with local media on Wednesday, Robinson spoke about the Bears' crucial decision at quarterback:

Because it doesn’t really come down to me, as Allen Robinson. You know, it’s a person who has to lead a whole group of men. That has to lead the offense, has to lead the team. I’m just a piece to the puzzle. For me, it’s going to be a fun training camp. I’m really looking forward to training camp.”
Earlier this offseason, the Bears acquired Nick Foles in a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Along with Foles, Mitchell Trubisky is going to have a chance to earn the starting job for Chicago next season.
Seeing that Foles is set to make more money and the Bears declined Trubisky's fifth-year option, signs point toward Foles having the upper-hand. Not to mention, Foles has previous experience with head coach Matt Nagy, making it easier for him to adjust to his new team.
Throughout his entire career, Robinson has had to deal with less-than-ideal situations at quarterback. With that being said, the veteran pass-catcher is sanguine about Chicago's uncertain quarterback situation.
