Chicago Bears: Mitch Trubisky
The Bears proved last season that (outside of their kicker) they have a good supporting cast around Trubisky, both offensively and defensively. But now it’s up to the young quarterback to take the next step in his development. Chicago isn’t going to sneak up on anybody in 2019, and the Packers and Vikings (and maybe even the Lions) are going to be gunning for them.
It’s no longer enough for Chicago to win with Trubisky. Rather, the Bears need to start winning because of Trubisky. Chicago ranked 21st in passing yards per game a year ago, but they need to at least be in the top-10 or 12 if they expect to go from dark horse to legitimate contender in the NFC. He doesn’t have to be in the same category as Drew Brees or Aaron Rodgers, but the Bears need him to at least bridge the gap a little.
