Trubisky is clearly still salty about Nagy, Bears tenure originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
Mitchell Trubisky is feeling the love in Buffalo, a love that he apparently did not feel while he was still quarterback for the Bears.
Yikes.
Looking back, we now know that the pairing between Trubisky and Matt Nagy was not a match made in heaven, but comments like this make it seem like the two were always destined for a divorce.
The Bears drafted Trubisky in 2017 when John Fox was still the head coach and Nagy was grooming Patrick Mahomes to be a superstar. But part of Nagy’s charge when Ryan Pace hired him was to develop Trubisky into a franchise quarterback. Obviously, that didn’t work out, even though the team went 29-21 with Trubisky at the helm. But now Trubisky insinuates Nagy and co. didn’t try as hard as they could have to groom him into a legit QB.

All that is in the past now though, and Trubisky’s having fun on the gridiron again with the newfound support from the Bills.

Even with all the backhanded negative talk about his time in Chicago, Trubisky reportedly said he’s still looking forward to visiting Soldier Field later this month when the Bills and Bears square off for a preseason game. Since it’s the second preseason game, Trubisky will likely see plenty of playing time as well.
Will Trubisky get the last laugh going head-to-head against shiny new Bears QB Justin Fields? Or will Nagy and Pace get vindication (or at least as much vindication as one can get in an exhibition game) as they unleash Fields on the rest of the league?
