UNC in NFL: Tracking Tar Heels performances in Week 2
By Grant Hughes
Mitch Trubisky: Quarterback, Chicago Bears.
Is the No. 2 overall pick about to get his chance?
Mitch Trubisky is highlighted here not by his own doing, but the undoing of another quarterback this week.
A strong Week 1 performance by Mike Glennon appeared to have cemented himself as the Bears’ signal caller for the foreseeable future. However, an awful performance in Week 2 may be shortening his leash as the starting quarterback.
Glennon threw two costly interceptions and lost a fumble en route to a blowout loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Bears are now 0-2 this season and some in Chicago are already calling for a quarterback change.
Should the Bears make the switch to Mitch Trubisky?

An overwhelming amount of fans believe Trubisky should be the starter, it’s just a matter of time before the coaching staff makes it a reality.
With another loss all but assured next week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, it would be no surprise to see Trubisky get his first NFL action if the Bears go down big early.
As Tar Heel supporters we hope to be writing about Trubisky’s first NFL run this time next week. It may be tough for coach John Fox to overcome the stubbornness that has plagued his NFL career, but change needs to come soon.
Until then, we can all sit and laugh at this terrible decision and throw by Glennon last week:
