Even if I didn’t ruin the suspense yesterday by saying the quarterbacks would be number one on this year’s 10 Most Important Chicago Bears list, anyone that has been following along these last twelve years would know that it’s almost always the case, regardless of the QB, because the quarterback is the most important position in all of team sports.
Only twice since I’ve started making this list have I went away from the quarterback.
It was Jay Cutler every year until the Bears had to bring in John Fox to clean up the Marc Trestman mess, which made Fox the top dog in 2015, and then Jordan Howard took the top spot when the Bears had Mike Glennon starting the year out as their number one QB.
