New Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky attends Bulls game, Chicago fans boo him

Mitchell Trubisky can take heart in this trip down memory lane: Philadelphia Eagles fans once booed the draft pick of Donovan McNabb. He turned out to be pretty good.

Chicago Bears fans haven’t exactly embraced Trubisky, the North Carolina quarterback. The team gave up three picks to move up one spot to No. 2 overall and take Trubisky, who is viewed as a good prospect but certainly not a slam dunk.

Trubisky is trying. He attended a Chicago Bulls playoff game on Friday. And when he was shown on the video board, he got a lot of boos according to two reporters covering the game.

That’s rough. The angst seems to be directed more at general manager Ryan Pace and what looks like an unnecessary trade up for Trubisky. Trubisky will join Mike Glennon, a quarterback the Bears gave a $45 million contract to this offseason. It’s complicated.

Trubisky isn’t off to the best start in Chicago, though that can turn around fast. It did for McNabb in Philadelphia. Bears fans will love Trubisky if he’s finally the franchise quarterback the team has been trying to find for decades.

But it’s clear that Trubisky is going to have to win them over.
