(670 The Score) The Bears continue to speak of an open quarterback competition as if they truly mean it.
With incumbent starter Mitchell Trubisky set to compete against recently acquired veteran Nick Foles, the Bears want to create a battle without biases to create a fair chance for earn the job.
"There's no agendas," coach Matt Nagy said on Bears All Access on 670 The Score on Thursday evening. "We're going to go out there and we're going to give them every equal opportunity to go out there and win the job, and we're going to be very honest and open with them. I think that's the only way to do it.
"It will be healthy, and it should make the Chicago Bears better."
The Bears acquired Foles in a trade with the Jaguars in mid-March, sending a fourth-round pick to Jacksonville in the deal. The 31-year-old Foles is an eight-year NFL veteran who was Super Bowl LII MVP two years ago. In 58 career games, he has completed 61.9 percent of his passes for 11,901 yards, 71 touchdowns and 35 interceptions.
Trubisky, 25, was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. He has started 41 games for the Bears over his first three NFL seasons, completing 63.4 percent of his passes for 8,554 yards, 48 touchdowns and 29 interceptions.
Trubisky has embraced the concept of competition, Nagy said, even if it means he could lose his job.
"We're trying to make this the best situation possible for Mitch and then also for Nick," Nagy said. "It's going to be a good situation for us."
