A rich one their QB history is not. In contrast to the storied and revered football lineage of this NFL-founding franchise, the position of quarterback for the Chicago Bears has frequently been occupied by names easily forgotten. Since 1919 and the days of the Decatur Staleys until now, the team has largely endured the struggle of finding or cultivating a transcendent talent to play under center for them.
What does this mean for us, as Bears fans? First of all, there’s plenty to be proud of so it’s not like the dearth of all-timers at QB is going to take away everything else this franchise has given the NFL.
