Earns vote of confidence The Bears listed Dalton as their "QB1" heading into OTAs. Impact Dalton was expected to compete with Nick Foles for the starting job in 2021 after Mitchell Trubisky left for Buffalo in free agency. However, the Bears' social media account tipped off that Dalton is the clear frontrunner for the gig, and the Twitter post could even signal that the team may move on from Foles altogether. Dalton was serviceable in place of Dak Prescott (ankle) in Dallas last season, completing 65 percent of his passes for 2,170 yards (6.5 YPA), 14 touchdowns and eight interceptions. With Allen Robinson sticking around on the franchise tag, Dalton will have at least one elite pass catcher at his disposal.
