Chicago’s Tragic Quarterback Problem: The Full Story in Detail

The Chicago Bears have struggled for nearly 7 decades to find the right quarterback... In this video, we take a deep look at their misfortunes, and the mistakes that led them to become the only team in NFL history without a 4000 yard passer.

Passing over Rodgers was like the Browns passing over Roethlisberger as the guy each passed over went on to personally torture that team and the fanbase for many many years.

[@Denor.]

Tbf Rodgers was a late 1st round prospect and the Bears had the 4th pick. Of course hindsight is always 20:20 though

At least we got Cedric Benson

[@dasoupsoup]

Yes Rodgers was a huge pain, but imagine Marino with the '80s defenses. Could've been the greatest dynasty ever besides the Patriots.

[@choosecarefully408]

I think passing over Lamar was worse, for everybody. Baker Mayfield, the Browns, & Lamar himself. The Ravens seem to resent having an élite QB (especially the cost). The Browns meanwhile chased after The Worst QB Option & over-paid him. All of this could have been avoided had they chosen Lamar.

[@choosecarefully408]

If you want, I can tear them down. You remember when Mac Jones was discovered to be Seeking Advice outside the Pats? If Bellichick had responded to that With Silence we'd all know Jones was on the way out, right? Well? Fields called out his coaches publicly after week 7 of '22. What did *their silence* indicate? The Exact Same Thing. But because this indicated that the Bears were betraying We The Fans as well as Fields, everyone seems to have gone into denial over it. Well, let me remind you of what you "forgot" while in denial. 1) "The Bears _had to call_ for Fields to Not Throw to Certain Receivers on Certain Plays to simplify the offense for him because he Can't Read Defenses." That's the 'reason' Bears fans made up to excuse a play-call that had Zero Chance of succeeding. What's wrong with all this? First, obviously, if Fields can't read defenses, you're putting his life at risk out there. _Especially_ when you call for your o-line to kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJrMfGVni998ldE let all the pass-rushers through to him. He can't read defenses so he may not run for his life. 2nd, how is forcing Fields to stop mid-play or mid-throw, read a player's jersey #, try & remember whether it's one he's allowed to throw to on that play _then_ throw simpler than throwing to whatever receiver he sees? A real head-scratcher these excuses y'all make up. 2) The You The Fans said "Fields holds onto the ball too long." So now you not only forgot that he was ordered *By His Coaches To* hold onto the ball instead of pass it, it's his fault now. Or should he drop the ball instead of run away from the pass-rushers his coaches order his o-linesmen to run away from? Like they _told us that_ they were moving away from him. You think they spent the next 1.5 years calling plays designed to make their decision look stupid? 3) One can't _unlearn_ to read defenses. So kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6bLhpV_iNOlbtU *proves* he can now & always did read 'em which means that there is No Excuse for calling plays with zero chance of success. Also in weeks 8-10 of '22 & weeks 11, 14-17 of '23 different play sets were called in which Fields was far more efficient & scored more points. The 3-game streak in '22 he led the Entire NFL in offense proving it was _only_ the play-calling holding him back as he played up with Allen, Mahomes & Burrow when the play0-calling changed. The last thing is someone spliced Fields' college highlights into a video with Caleb Williams'. It's no surprise to me, but what do you know? Fields kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3uyYoOpqtV5lbc is a better rusher _AND_ more accurate passer who scrambles & makes throws on the run & at weird arm angles better in the NFL than Caleb has done so far in college. This team is _great!_

[@nariousdixon933]

Its funny. Im not a bears fan, but I never saw them as one of the worst franchises. It was always baffling how they continued to screw at QB. Even more so than the lions did for years. They're really a representation of how far defense and a strong run game can take you.

[@MFBloosh]

We've wasted many great teams by having sub par QB play, and we also like to run QBs out of town who have potential.

[@akeme25]

The Lions used to screw up at QB too until they got Matthew Stafford.

[@Scottishbear582]

Dreadful front office is the problem that's been the curse. Not just bad coaching. Bad recruitment look at the list of QBs they past up on. Jim Finks was the best GM bears have had. He even past up greats QBs like Dan Marino. Ryan Poles would have drafted him & Rodgers. Poles is different. Caleb Williams time.

[@MrEnzio777]

It goes one level higher than the front office. The TEAM OWNERS don't care. The Halas-McCaskey family have been coasting off their ONE Super Bowl win from 40 years ago. The only thing will save the Bears is to sell the team.

[@lastpme]

I think a big problem with the Bears is the team tends to hire defensive minded head coaches vs coaches with an offensive mindset who could draft and develop its quarterback. The Packers traded for Farve and drafted Rodgers and Love…but since the 90s the Packers have hired offensive minded coaches.

[@Nick_2i]

I think you're kind of right, but it's worth pointing out that 2 of their last 4 coaches were offensive-minded coaches, and 3 of the 8 coaches they've had since 1980 were offensive-minded. They skew defensive, but not drastically. I certainly won't claim that Trestman and Nagy were offensive geniuses, but they were at least offensive guys.

[@theRealBohemian61]

Remember…even Curly Lambeau and Vince Lombardi were offensive coaches.

It's hard to complete passes when you're dodging the entire front line of the other team. The Bears are famous for not having a decent front line. Even McMahon had that problem and ended up with a lacerated kidney and repeated concussions. He currently is suffering from CTE as a result of repeated brain trauma. The pad that all quarterbacks wear around their waists and middle was first introduced for McMahon to protect his kidney and ribs. Even a mediocre quarterback can have a decent game if he isn't getting pounded into the turf play after play. It used to irritate the heck out of me when critics would call McMahon "brittle." He took some incredibly strong hits.

I’m a bit torn with the Bears offloading a QB they drafted in Rd 1 to take another prospect. The Bears don’t do much in the field of QB development from what I’ve seen over the years. I believe this is why they are constantly looking for that franchise QB. I also can’t 100% put the blame on the QBs because in the modern era their offensive line hasn’t exactly been spectacular while at the same time running into injuries. It makes for a terrible situation with Bears QBs. Is Caleb really the answer? No, unless they can find a way to develop what many say is a generational talent.

I truly believe the Bears have had some great players come in to play in Chicago....and were cut down at the knees by horrendous play calling and overall game strategy. I don't think Aaron Rogers or Patrick MaHomes would have had the careers they've had....if they ended up with the Bears. We'll see if this changes with Caleb....but as someone who's seen this many times before.... they'll have to prove it before I'll believe it.
