Asked why the Bears didn’t win more under his tenure, outgoing president/CEO Ted Phillips pointed to under center.
“Let’s see, we’ve had 45 different quarterbacks, I think, since we won the Super Bowl,” he said Tuesday. “So that’s probably No. 1.”
Technically, 44 different quarterbacks have started for the Bears since 1986 — thanks to new additions Trevor Siemian and Nathan Peterman in a woeful 3-14 season.
To paint it as a damn-our -luck situation, though, is passing the buck far more efficiently than the Bears have ever passed the ball.
