Bears can’t afford another ‘terrible’ season from OLB Robert Quinn

Robert Quinn wants to leave his first season with the Bears in the past and never discuss it again. Of course he does.

“I’ll be honest: Just a terrible year for me, personally,” Quinn said.

No argument here. But after watching him sign a mammoth free-agent contract, then put up just two sacks, it’s a little early to forgive and forget. Quinn has a lot to prove to an organization that believed it had formed a monster pass rush with him and Khalil Mack opposite each other at outside linebacker.

And there’s already some skepticism about a bounce-back season given that Quinn has been limited by a lower-back injury for more than a month and was limited in the opening practice of training camp Wednesday.
