3. Chicago Bears
The Bears’ main issue heading into the 2020 NFL season is who will be throwing to their receivers. Whether it is Trubisky or Foles seems like a coin flip. One thing we do know is this receiving corp is not good enough to help their struggling quarterback, whoever it turns out to be.
This excludes Allen Robinson II. This is a receiver that has not had the best luck with quarterbacks. Robinson spent four years with the Jacksonville Jaguars before coming to Chicago. In 2015, Robinson led the league in receiving touchdowns with 14. In 2019, Robinson totaled 98 catches for 1,147 yards and seven scores. He is a true No. 1 receiver and the fact that he has been so productive with the level of quarterback throwing to him is a true testament to his skill.
After Robinson, the depth chart takes a nose dive. Anthony Miller is a young receiver still waiting to take that next step. He has 85 catches and nine touchdowns in two years with the Bears. Ted Ginn Jr. has never been more than a deep ball threat in the NFL. With the New Orleans Saints last season, Ginn caught 30 passes for 421 yards and two scores. At 35 years old, it is unlikely that he will have a major impact on the offense.
Javon Wims, Cordarrelle Patterson, and Riley Ridley are some names on the bench for Chicago. The Bears added Graham in free agency and Cole Kmet in the draft. The tight end position is solid but their receiving room is extremely underwhelming. This is not a good sign for a team that is unsure about the quarterback position.
