Outings against the Falcons, Buccaneers and Steelers are one thing. Chicago Bears fans would like to beat any team, but everybody knows the time to get serious is at hand. The Mike Glennon Packers test is at hand. Head coach John Fox seems so convinced that this former backup can be the guy to help the Bears win, then he'll have to prove it.
There is no team in the NFL or throughout history who has been a better judge of how good or more often bad a Bears starting quarterback is than Green Bay. Glennon has never played them during his career. Some might consider that a red flag already. In fact some might be shocked at the results of how most of the notable starting Bears QBs throughout history fared in their first Packer encounters.

Mike Glennon Packers test will likely determine if Trubisky sits or starts
Everybody knows Glennon is on a short leash. Fans have called for rookie Mitch Trubisky for weeks now. The last thing the veteran can afford is another rough performance. Especially against the Packers. Rest assured the coaches, front office and ownership know how much more important these games are than the rest. Wins over Green Bay matter, both for the team and players. Don't believe it? The last two championships the Bears have won involved season sweeps of the Packers. In 2006 during their Super Bowl run they lost to them in the season finale. Coincidence? The point being that players who are instantly hued with a losing aura against this team tend not to last long. Meaning there's a strong chance if Glennon plays poorly and the Bears lose that Trubisky will get his first start the next week.Comments
