Dan Wiederer: Don't be angry at Mitch Trubisky. Don't feel sorry for him either. And don't write him off as Bears QB.
CHICAGO - Don't be angry with Mitch Trubisky. It's the wrong emotion. Disappointed? Sure. Unfulfilled? Totally fair. But angry? Nah, that's misguided. It's misdirected energy.
Trubisky's benching Sunday in Atlanta became an official demotion Monday. Matt Nagy told his quarterbacks first, then shared the news with the world.
Nick Foles will start Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts at Soldier Field. He is the Chicago Bears' QB1 going forward, while Trubisky becomes the understudy. And with that, the No. 2 overall pick of the 2017 draft is now No. 2 on the Bears depth' chart, left to process his fate and plan his response.
On many levels, it's a disheartening development. For Trubisky. For the Bears. For a football-crazed city that has waited forever on a championship-caliber starting quarterback but now must watch anxiously as the reset button gets pressed. Again.
This wasn't how things were supposed
