As everyone curiously waits to see what the hell the Chicago Bears have in the arm that's been entrusted to maximize their shift to an offensive philosophy that's not anywhere near as offensive to the eye, I think we need to tip our caps to John Fox. Twelve games. Three quarters of a professional football season in which Mitch Trubisky started under center, and not once did the man who served as his half-witted head coach tip his hand to what kind of player he might end up being going forward. Considering how pass-happy the NFL has become, it was literally nothing if not impressive how boring the Bears' offense was under the dumbed down directive of their first year franchise quarterback. The Green Bay Packers, a divisional rival, had all offseason and they couldn't find a single moral of the story in the tale of the tape. If that doesn't encourage Matt Nagy order a gift basket to the doorstep of his predecessor then I don't know what will. In calling the dangerous game of playing not to lose, John Fox managed to played it so safe with Mitch Trubisky that he temporarily afforded him with the one quality that every good, young quarterback needs, which is unpredictability.
