The Chicago Bears in 2019 had horrible QB Play from former 2nd overall pick Mitchell Trubisky. This ultimately led to the bears going out in the 2020 offseason to acquire Nick Foles from the Jacksonville Jaguars and change much of their offensive structure. At the time, many questioned this move considering the other quarterback options that were available on the market; one of those being Cam Newton. This past week Cam Newton was signed by the New England Patriots for a lot less money than Nick Foles is making with the bears currently, causing many Bears Fans to either stand up or defend Ryan Pace's decision. This week on the Bear Necessities Podcast, Austin and Reece breakdown the logic behind the Chicago Bears QB decision this offseason and compare Nick Foles to all other options that were on the table for the Bears at the start of NFL Free Agency in 2020, including recently signed Cam Newton.
