Bhanpuri: This past weekend, as I was speaking to sixth and seventh graders at a Boston middle school about the importance of reading and writing, one rascally student, wearing a grin and blanketed in the confidence afforded to all Patriots fans born during the past two decades, trolled me hard. He asked me how I, as a guy from Chicago, felt about the Bears passing over Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes to select "Mitchell Tribashky" in the 2017 draft. He didn't mean to mispronounce the quarterback's name, but his question, in all of its parts, is indicative of the legacy the Bears QB is leaving for the next generation of football fans -- a name and career barely worth remembering, a reverse Olden Polynice to haunt Chicago sports loyalists, a mere trivia answer people struggle to solve 10 years down the road. As poorly as Trubisky has played this season (and as hard as I've been on him in this space), his performance versus the Rams was far from his worst. He helped move the ball regularly in the first half and led one of the team's best touchdown drives of the season to open up the third quarter. Admittedly, the bar has fallen discouragingly low. For me, the biggest takeaway from Sunday night's game (yes, even more than HipGate) is we received further confirmation that Trubisky is the ultimate Goldilocks QB; that is, when all the conditions are right -- solid defensive play, consistent running attack, functional kicking game -- he can put a team in position to win. We've seen him do it several times in his career, including against the Eagles last January. But when one or more are absent or dysfunctional, he's simply not equipped to carry the load. So if his hip injury lingers and limits his mobility, or worse, his availability, will the QB have enough time to change three years' worth of film? Or, is he destined to become the most maligned footnote in Bears draft history since David Terrell -- the first receiver selected in a 2001 class that included three All-Pros at the position? (Kudos to whoever can name those three wideouts.)
