True or False? The Chicago Bears passing game improves in 2017.

There is talent on the offensive line as Kyle Long and Cody Whitehair are the stars up front.  Even with the inconsistency at quarterback, pass protection was good in 2016 and the Bears running game is in good hands with Jordan Howard,

Offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains does have some pieces to work with.  But other than Howard, there’s no emerging super star to rely on.  The questions are can Kevin White stay on the field and can they get someone out of the combination of Victor Cruz, Kevin Wright and Markus Wheaton?

I think Mike Glennon is highly underestimated and I think he’s an NFL caliber starting quarterback.  A good signing by the Bears.  Glennon is ready for this opportunity to start and he’s capable of being solid at quarterback.

MItchell Trubisky has all the physical advantages over Mike Glennon but he’s not ready.  Trubisky is the future but if he’s starting most of the Bears games in 2017, then that means they’re in trouble.

The Bears have a good running game and are getting better defensively.  Glennon is not be a world beater, but he’ll protect the football and make good decisions in the pocket.  The Chicago Bears aren’t a playoff team in 2017 but I think it’s true.

The Bears passing game will improve this season.  I think Kevin White will play more games and team with Cameron Meredith to give the Bears a talented two-some at wide receiver.  It’s not the most explosive but the Chicago Bears passing attack will be much more consistent over last year.
