not long ago draftee QBs wouldn't start without two to three years of back-up status. Now they're expected to compete right out of college. Admittedly, some succeed (Kyler Murray is looking very good) but others need time to learn.

I'm not familiar enough with the Bears to comment further, so I'll point to Baker Mayfield as an example of a guy with incredible potential who was thrust into starting without necessarily being ready to do so (plus he's unfortunately saddled with an inexperienced head coach and an underachieving offensive line -- a worse-case scenario for any young QB if there ever was one).

IMO it's not fair to give up on Trubisky yet.
