Only posting this because I see this discussion constantly on this sub
I sincerely believe that the bears organization makes QB’s worse. There is simply something about their internal philosophy at Halas Hall that disrupts growth of would be great players.
I am not a football expert, just calling it like I see it. For example, had Patrick Mahomes come to Chicago, I genuinely believe he would be significantly less respected today - and it would be almost entirely the fault of the Chicago bears organization. (Or disorganization, rather)
If you believe that basic concept, then it honestly doesn’t matter who we draft. (Or don’t) It isn’t even a debate really, we have the worst (the NFL worst) history of QB’s in Chicago. The bears used 35 starting quarterbacks during the Farve/Rodgers era…
Our legacy is literally drafting a new QB every 3 years, ruining his career, and taking a desperate shot in the dark in hopes for a different result using the same methods. This has been happening for decades
Honestly, if I were a QB getting drafted by the Bears, it would feel like a death sentence.
Every new QB we draft, I see people question “Are the Bears hurting his devolvement?” Bro of course we are - that seems to be the ONE thing the McCaskeys are good at.
So, seriously - does it matter AT ALL who we draft or don’t? Why are we even talking about it anymore? There is an illness that runs so deep within the bears organization that I truly do not think even the best QB would make a difference.

The Bears have literally never drafted a quarterback as highly regarded by scouts as Caleb or Maye. Trubisky was a top 2 QB in a poor class(Analysts had Watson 60-40) and a famous reach at #2. Fields was QB4 despite madden stats in college and several QB needy teams on the board.
It’s like saying, why should we draft MHJ, our WR history is miserable.
I agree. QBs that get drafted by the Bears need to get the biggest deal they can possibly get and then invest all of it in the S&P 500 immediately because they will be unemployed in 3 years.
The Bears have only been to 2 Super Bowls in the existence of the game and you could argue the QBs didn’t even get them there. The Bears have 3 quarterbacks who made it to the hall of fame in their 100 year history and none of them only played quarterback. Two of them played offense and defense and the other was a QB and a Kicker.
This is like saying all Ohio QBs are busts. Bears should only draft defensive players since that’s all they’re good at. This is a lazy argument you make when you’re football knowledge goes as far as “ask madden”
I’ll never get this arguement.
Horrible/inept franchises turn it around with the right QB. Lawrence helped turn around JAX, Burrow in CIN, Stroud now in HOU, Cam in CAR.
You keep taking swings at the most important position in sports.
