When I watch Trubisky, I get vibes of what little I remember from watching a younger (pre-Chiefs) Rich Gannon playing for the Vikings vs. the Bears (of all teams) who I unfortunately used to be forced to watch all the time as a kid with my dad being a Bears fan. With that said, I can’t help, but think that Trubisky has the ceiling of...Rich Gannon later on in his career. They might be ok for a while which makes me sick because seriously...**** Bears fans. Bears fans at school growing up (the same ones who rooted for the preposterous Cubs) are the reason I decided that I couldn’t find it in myself to root for that garbage team with their garbage kicker (Kevin Butler) missing 3 field goals in a game to lose to the ****ing Raiders...which led to me becoming a Chiefs fan.
A real life interaction between my dad and I when I was 6-7 years old in 1989:
“Umm...Dad? Why do we root for the Bears when their fans are the same people as the Cubs fans we fight with all the time?”
“Because, dumbass. Because umm... I don’t know. Because uhhh...because ****ing Walter Payton was the best football player of all time... and he was a Bear. Good enough?!”
“Ummm...Dad? I don’t think I can root for the Bears anymore. I hate their fans...and I hate Kevin Butler. And I hate Jim Harbaugh...he sucks. I hate this team...I need to find a new one.”
“Whatever, dipshit... Just don’t become a ****ing Packers or Vikings fan. And no matter what, you WILL always be a St. Louis Cardinals fan. You aren’t allowed to jump ship on them or you WILL run extra sprints after every wrestling practice...deal?”
