3 Most important position battles in Chicago

2. Mitch Trubisky, Chicago Bears

Change: -0.89 (3.07 to 3.96)

Tier Change: 3 to 4

Trubisky suffered the sixth-largest year-over-year decline since Quarterback Tiers began in 2014. His current 3.96 average compares to 2015 Josh McCown, 2015 Robert Griffin III and 2016 Blaine Gabbert. Those players never recovered. Trubisky gets his chance this season.

3. Nick Foles, Chicago Bears

Change: -0.66 (2.76 to 3.42)

Tier Change: Remained in 3

Foles’ up-and-down career accounts for three of the 11 largest single-year declines. What has changed more, Foles or the situations in which Foles has played? His stints with the Rams and Jaguars were disastrous for reasons going beyond Foles. His time with Philadelphia included stretches of glory under two head coaches. Either way, Foles’ current 3.42 average compares to 2018 Sam Bradford and 2017 Tyrod Taylor.
