Earlier this offseason the Chicago Bears traded for QB Nick Foles to compete for the starting job against Mitch Trubisky.
Apparently the QB competition is over and much to the surprise of NFL fans everywhere Trubisky was able to beat out Foles during training camp and will be named the starter for week 1.

In a competitive battle, Bears are expected to name Mitchell Trubisky the starting QB, source tells ESPN.
It’s due to his progression, leadership and overall performance throughout camp. Nick Foles made decision difficult for Matt Nagy, but the team feels strong about its QBs.

The #Bears informed Mitch Trubisky he will be the starting quarterback in Week 1, per source (as @AdamSchefter indicated). The former No. 2 overall pick wins the camp competition against Nick Foles.

Considering that Trubisky has been pretty mediocre for years, fans had jokes about the Bears naming him the starting QB for week 1.
Mitch is a helluva hill to die on. Maybe they’re pulling a Costanza and trying to get fired? https://t.co/zFlcuXiuOe

Imagine passing on Cam Newton and Jameis Winston for $1M so you could give up a fourth-round pick for Nick Foles AND guarantee him $21M only to keep starting Mitchell Trubisky. GM of the Year, Ryan Pace. #Bears https://t.co/NamD08Jtua
