Why Can't the Bears Find a Good Quarterback and Keep Him?

Twenty quarterbacks since 1990. No, unfortunately it's not a question; it's a fact about the Chicago Bears. And have any of them been worth their salt? The answer is no for those of you are still trying to come up with an answer to that question. Why? Is it Bear's ownership or management or coaches?

 No team can produce consistent championship quality effort with 20 quarterbacks in 17 years. What's going on? I wish I had an answer for you. I don't. But, then neither does anyone in the Bears organization. Is it lack of focus, money or intelligence? Do other teams get to the good ones first? When you look at the Bear's record over the past couple of decades, they have certainly had their share of low draft picks.

A smashing good defense, yes. Or, was, anyway. But, if the offense isn't on the field their share of the game, I don't care what defense you have, those guys are going to get pretty tired somewhere about halfway through the third quarter.

Can't we kidnap Brady or Manning or Favre or Romo or (you fill in the blank here with any quarterback in the NFL)? There's only 32 starting quarterbacks in the NFL. There's hundreds of college QBs to pick from...and we can't find one that can actually like, you know, quarterback and, like, you know, win? Seems hard to believe especially when it goes on for decades at a time.

C'mon Mrs. McCaskey, either loosen up the wallet a lot and let your folks find a decent starting NFL quarterback, or loosen it up a little less and go get a new management team. It's not fair, and hasn't been fair to your fans for years. We deserve better. Help us out here will ya'?
