Welcome in to the Undercenter podcast on CSNChicago.com. I'm JJ Stankovitz, joined as always at

Hallis Hall by Mark Shannowski. And Mark, I think we're going to talk about the quarterback

a little bit today. Yeah, that seems like a popular topic of conversation with the fan base.

So yeah, let's jump into it.

Obviously, it's not a question of when Mitch Trubisky takes over.

I think it's if, I'm not if, but when.

Yeah.

And the fans want to see him right away, but there are logical reasons to hold him back a little bit.

We'll get into all of that. The issue with playing Mitch Chubisky right now is, I think issue number one is that the schedule sets up where you have Pittsburgh this weekend.

Obviously, Mitch Trubisky is not starting this game.

The bears have been abundantly clear that Mike Glennon is going to be the starter against Pittsburgh.

But then you're probably not going to make a change for week four

and give Mitch Trubisky his first game week of preparation for three days to face the Green Bay Packers at Lambo Field.

So if you're looking to circle a date, maybe it's week five,

I'm running some numbers that I'm going to run in an article on cSN

chicago.com this week about there have been 14 quarterbacks drafted in the first 10 picks

of the last 20 NFL drafts that's a lot of numbers to get into but the point there is that

those four of those 14 there been sorry let me run this back to get this right.

33 quarterback, 33 top 10 quarterbacks, 14 of which have made their debuts in the middle of a season. The average week of that debut is week six. So that is where, if you're

looking to circle it, week five, week six for the Bears against Minnesota, against Baltimore,

maybe that's where we look for right now. Well, we have to factor it, week five, week six for the Bears against Minnesota against Baltimore. Maybe that's where we look for right now.

Well, we have to factor in all the things that we don't know yet.
