Fox meant in preseason.
Glennon was impressed, as well.
"You know we're excited about him, so I imagine that people on the outside are excited," Fox said.
The Bears aren't alone in getting excited about Trubisky. Players immediately took notice.
So on Sunday Trubisky had even more snaps.
"I think it's an amazing thing," rookie guard Jordan Morgan said. "Just to go out here and see him perform like that, that's a great feeling. And then seeing him play so well, that's awesome.
"I thought really right out of the gates yesterday in practice, I thought we did a good job." Glennon said Sunday. "Guys responded well.
"It kind of leaves you with a sour taste in your mouth," Glennon said Sunday about his first preseason effort. "So it's good to get out here at practice and it'll be good to get to Arizona on Saturday."
"We got a good plan. A big part of that plan is getting him playing opportunities,Jerseys NFL Cheap."
"There's a reason why we drafted him with the second pick of the draft," Fox said. "I think for the first time people got to see that in a Bears uniform, which I think is exciting."
It's in the Bears' plan to get Trubisky as many play repetitions in practice as possible, and it was expected to be a difficult task heading into camp because they had three other quarterbacks including fourth-string Connor Shaw.
Glennon went 2 for 8 for 20 yards with an interception returned for a touchdown while Trubisky was 18 for 25 for 166 yards and a TD against Denver, and social media lit up with pleas for Trubisky to be more than the developmental project he's been labeled by Fox and general manager Ryan Pace.
"There's no doubt about that, I was impressed for his first time in a real NFL game setting," Glennon said. "He played well. He moved the ball well. He ran it, had a touchdown to Victor (Cruz). He definitely played well."
"A lot of time on those (first days after games) the energy level is down, but I thought the first offense came out, executed and moved the ball well."
As if to answer any critics, Glennon came out Saturday in the first practice after the preseason opener and threw a deep ball on the opening play of scrimmage to Kendall Wright for a touchdown. He proceeded to have one of his sharpest practices.
"We evaluate every practice," Fox said. "Games do hold some weight, for sure, but we evaluate everything."
"I just really don't get online," Glennon said. "I watched the preseason games, but I just avoid the possible distraction of hearing what people may say.
But Shaw had a minor surgical procedure to remove a screw in a leg he fractured last year, and Sanchez missed Sunday's practice with a bruised ankle.
The quarterback controversy the Bears sought to squash when training camp started seems to have broken out anyway thanks to interest in seeing their first-round draft pick, his first performance and Glennon's poor start against Denver.
The Bears' coach said he is unaware of the public groundswell behind Trubisky, but wasn't about to douse the excitement.
NOTES: Wide receiver Markus Wheaton suffered a broken finger after he missed much of camp because of appendicitis. ... Defensive end Akiem Hicks missed practice Sunday because of Achilles soreness. ... Tight end Dion Simms missed Sunday's practice with a bruised shoulder. ... Defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris suffered a concussion Sunday in practice. ...The Bears claimed former Tampa Bay kicker Roberto Aguayo off waivers and placed wide receiver Rueben Randle on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. Aguayo, a second-round draft pick out of Florida State in 2016, was cut Saturday after two misses in the Bucs' first preseason game, and will compete with Connor Barth.
"That's the type of stuff we talk about our rookie meetings: teaching each other to hold each other accountable and be able to raise the bar for one another."
BOURBONNAIS, Ill. (AP) — Chicago Bears coach John Fox paused to recall when he last had a quarterback whose debut created a stir as great as Mitch Trubisky's.
Glennon must keep an even keel because he's designated as the starter, and Sanchez is the backup. Sanchez had only two series Thursday and left so Trubisky could run a two-minute drill before playing the entire second half.
Yet, it's obvious Trubisky's performance focused public pressure on both Glennon and injured backup quarterback Mark Sanchez.
"Real recent, the first time we threw Tim Tebow out there in Denver it was pretty similar,Cheap China Jerseys," Fox said. "The awareness on the outside that was mentioned — that brought quite a bit of attention."
