They Will Struggle Again
It didn’t matter whether the Bears were attempting to make plays through the running game or with their passing attack last season, they struggled to produce results. It’s important to take that into consideration since their issues went beyond the play of Mitchell Trubisky.
Much of the Bear’s struggles on offense began with their inability to produce on passes. They ended up totaling just 3,291 passing yards (25th), 20 passing touchdowns (T-25th), and 12 interceptions (T-16th) in 2019. Those are simply far from sufficient results to expect to compete at a high-level.
The poor results the Bears achieved on passing plays made it especially difficult to execute in running situations. They ended up totaling just 1,458 rushing yards (27th) and eight rushing touchdowns (28th) last season, proving to be one of the NFL’s worst running teams.
By not making sufficient changes to the makeup of the roster, the Bears are going to experience underachieving results on offense again in 2020. That will be the case even if Chicago decides to make a mid-season change at the quarterback position by benching Trubisky.
