The Bears’ expected signing of Andy Dalton is a mystery that really doesn’t solve anything. The only thing is indicates for sure is just how done with Mitch Trubisky the Bears were after the 2020 season.
Oh, were they done with Mitch.
The Bears were so done with Trubisky they signed a quarterback who isn’t any better. Dalton is a three-time Pro Bowl quarterback whose 31,594 passing yards and 204 touchdown passes in nine seasons with the Bengals are miles ahead of the Bears’ all-time leader in those categories, Jay Cutler (23,443 yards, 154 touchdowns). But he’s not that quarterback in 2021 at 33.
