#Mitch Trubisky ‘pissed off’ by Bears’ Nick Foles trade: ‘My team’

Mitch Trubisky was admittedly “pissed off,” following the Bears trade for Nick Foles, calling the move “interesting to me.”

But the embattled quarterback insisted he understood it and has taken it as a positive, using it as motivation for a breakthrough season and to win the Bears’ quarterback job.

“I think I was kind of pissed off in a good way. I’ve been motivated ever since,” he told reporters on a Zoom call, according to ESPN. “I think it’s going to be a good competition. Foles has had a crazy career as well, so it’s been cool having him in our room talking ball. I know we’re going to push each other. But I still feel like this is my team and I’m excited for the competition and just get back on the field with my guys and show everybody what I can still do and how hard I’ve been working this offseason to help the Bears win games this year.”

Trubisky said he wasn’t surprised the Bears declined his $24.8 fifth-year option because of “the way I played last year.” The second overall pick in the 2017 draft flopped in 2019. He was 27th in the NFL in touchdown passes with 17, 21st in passing yards with 3,138, 32nd in yards gained per attempt (6.1) and his QB rating of 83.0 was 28th. It led to Chicago landing Foles, the former Super Bowl-winning quarterback with the Eagles, in a deal with the Jaguars.

“I think overall it [last year] had to do with health and then lack of details on offense,” Trubisky said. “So, I think if we work on those two things — obviously health comes down to a little bit of luck and having everybody’s body right, ready to go for this season. And then, we just got to be more detailed. We’ve got to be more locked into our game plans week-in, week-out, everybody’s got to be on the same page and when we get to Sunday it’s gotta all be about execution.

“I felt like we lacked details overall on offense, myself included, especially; if we’re on top of those this year and we just hold each other accountable to the standard we know we’re capable of, then we’ll have a lot more success and win more games. We definitely have the talent. I think it just comes down to being disciplined, playing smart football and everybody doing their jobs to perfection. Those are two of the main focuses that I came away with looking at last year.”

Trubisky did deal with a partially torn labrum in his left non-throwing shoulder last year and had surgery in January. He did perform well in 2018, throwing for 3,223 yards, 24 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in leading the Bears to a 12-4 record. But now he has to prove himself with his career in Chicago hanging in the balance.

“I just feel good about where I’m at right now, I feel good about this team and what we have been able to accomplish over these OTAs on Zoom meetings and stuff and throwing with guys in the area,” he said.
