Because he is developmental prospect not yet ready to play. So Pace did exactly what you and the rest of us who didnt approve stated shouldn't be done.

Oh I know what he said but he also last year said he was okay with not even offering Forte a new contract because we had Langford and Carey and Howard basically ended up saving hit butt.
I dont understand how finding some snaps for MT is not considered a part of his development and this tells me that Pace really doesnt know what hes doing. You have a team full of cast offs and late picks and you have all of them compete for their life while basically handing the most important position to someone before camp even begins .
Sure, it was only three non-contact practices in May. But Trubisky checked off all the boxes of what you'd expect to see in a face-of-the-franchise high first-round draft pick at the most important position on the field. The North Carolina product displayed accuracy, athleticism and arm strength while taking the majority of the reps in the three workouts.
I was standing on the sideline during one drill, watching the quarterbacks throw 20-yard outs to receivers. Trubisky's passes consistently zipped through the air, making a hissing sound I used to hear only when Jay Cutler made similar throws in practice. Say what you want about the former Bears quarterback, but there was no questioning his arm strength.
Watching the same drill at the Senior Bowl-albeit in windier conditions-the throws from the quarterbacks on the North squad coached by the Bears wobbled and floated.
Trubisky also displayed a quick release, athleticism and accuracy when rolling out of the pocket and throwing on the run, and sound decision-making, earning praise from coaches for dumping off the ball underneath to secondary receivers.
The one area that Trubisky must continue to work on is taking snaps from center, something he didn't do at North Carolina, where he lined up in the shotgun. He dropped a couple of snaps in minicamp, but it's not a big concern at this point and something he no doubt will work hard to rectify.
Trubisky also demonstrated leadership on the field.
"I like Mitch in the huddle," said offensive lineman Jordan Morgan, a fifth-round draft pick from Kutztown. "He's a real down-to-earth guy, very assertive with the way he calls everything. He's trying to be a commander out there, and that's definitely something he has to show to the coaches moving forward if he expects to be the guy."
...As Pace does with all such get-to-know-you dinners, he asked Trubisky to pick the restaurant and make the reservation. It's a minor request. But it often can be revealing of a player's reliability.
Pace also ordered Trubisky to keep the meeting top secret, so as not to tip off anyone — not any Tar Heels coaches or teammates, not any other NFL execs or agents, not even a campus meter maid — to the Bears' interest....

He was a fan of Aaron Rodgers that's who he said he's tried modeling his game after. Honestly I don't know any QB that couldn't be a fan of Rodgers.
