Ex-Chicago Bears HC Made The Biggest Mistake Of His Life By Passing Up On Patrick Mahomes For QB Who Didn’t Live Out His Rookie Contract

Chicago Bears once made the biggest mistake by choosing a quarterback who did not live up to the team’s expectations. Bears in the 2017 needed a quarterback who could start for their team. Out of the many potential names, such as Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson, they trusted a quarterback who couldn’t take the Bears to the playoffs in many seasons.

Chicago Bears drafted rookie quarterback Mitchell Trubisky as an overall No. 2 pick in the 2017 NFL draft. They offered Trubisky a four-year, $29 million deal. Apart from Trubisky, Bears also had their eyes on the Chief’s star QB Patrick Mahomes.

The article also mentioned that Ex-Chicago Bears GM might have created a distraction by spreading the news they were interested in Mahomes. Pace wanted Trubisky to be their leading quarterback and, in the NFL Draft, went forward to acquire him.

Mitchell Trubisky has an 87.2 passing rating in 51 games for the Bears, with 10,609 yards, 64 touchdowns, and 37 interceptions.
