Coming into the 2019 NFL season, the Chicago Bears were expected to be one of the main Super Bowl contenders in the NFC. After an impressive season in 2018, the Bears did not live up to the hype. They ended up missing the playoffs and there are real doubts about their future.

Mitchell Trubisky has received a ton of criticism this season for his struggles. He took a major step back and there are quite a few fans in Chicago who don’t think he is the quarterback of the future for the franchise.
