The Facts: The Bears are still Trubisky's team. GM Ryan Pace told reporters Tuesday Trubisky will definitely be the team's starting quarterback in 2020.

Diehards Line:The key detail is the season -- 2020 -- because it will be Trubisky's fourth in the NFL. As a first-round pick, Chicago has a fifth-year option on Trubisky, but would need to pick that up before early May in order to keep Trubisky on his rookie deal through 2021. "We're not at that point right now," Pace told reporters when asked about the option. There's a decent reason for not yet being at that point: Trubisky might need offseason surgery on his left shoulder, Pace said Tuesday. ... Trubisky regressed in 2019 as the Bears as a whole failed to meet expectations. The quarterback completed 63.2 percent of passes for a 17-10 TD-INT ratio and posted an 83 passer rating, which isn't the worst in his career, but wasn't near his 2018 production. Trubisky's lack of reliable play became a recurring theme for the Bears, whose offense frustrated their fanbase in a campaign that came with high hopes of a deep playoff run and ended with a thud in mid-December. Worth noting, the team fired a number of offensive assistants today, including OC Mark Helfrich. Make no mistake: 2020 will be a pivotal year for the Bears under this regime, starting with Trubisky.
