Mitch Trubisky is fast developing a strong connection with Chicago Bears fans as his play continues to ascend to higher levels. The numbers of #10 jerseys in the crowd seem to increase with each passing week. Could they one day surpass the #6 established by Jay Cutler? Time will tell. However, it seems the expectations run both ways.
Bears fans have set a fairly high bar for Trubisky. They’ve lived with average to bad quarterback play for decades. Cutler gave them their first brief taste of what above average looks like in Chicago. Now they want more. As it turns out? The feeling runs both ways. Trubisky, who grew up a Bears fan himself thanks to Walter Payton, has certain demands he places on people in the stands.
Or at least that’s how he made it seem. The 24-year old prepares to take on the Buffalo Bills this Sunday and was asked about the notorious reputation of their fans, infamous known as Bills Mafia (#BillsMafia). Trubisky couldn’t help but poke a little fun at Bears fans for not being as crazed as their cousins out east.
Mitch Trubisky is proving to have quite a sense of humor
It’s becoming clearer with each week that Trubisky continues to grow more comfortable with his surroundings. Early on he was quite timid in front of the media. He carried himself like a soldier, lacking much personality with his answers. However, now halfway through his second year, he seems to have a firmer grasp on where he’s at in the organization. With that, the personality is starting to come out.

He clearly has a sense of humor and knows how to poke fun at both himself and others. It’s also apparent just how much he loves football, both on the field and off. He’s both a man who embraces it as a job but also as a fan. This shouldn’t be a surprise. Ohio is considered one of the biggest hotbeds in the country where football is practically a religion. Trubisky no doubt wants to convert some Bears fans towards that way of life.
Would it be such a bad thing? Well, it might be for some of the tables around Soldier Field.
