Freddy Adu is a perfect pick. That kid was supposed to revolutionize American soccer. But wouldn't Jay Cutler have to be the canonical choice here, at least as far as Chicago sports goes? |

I guess as Chicago figures go but he had a solid career relative to where he was drafted and bears fans always expected too much. Rick and I tried our best to warn them at the time. |

That was a name we were supposed to remember. |

Prior's issues weren't injuries. He was soft as baby shit. |

My hottest take? Rex Grossman could succeed in today's NFL. Most of these are injury related but whatever. Mark Prior. Jermichael Finley. Aaron Rodgers. (Where them rings at boy?) Derrick Rose. |

He basically abandoned his teams and teammates. He was a complete asshole. However he was a good pitcher. Was he supposed to be better or could he have been better? No. Could he have had a longer career... maybe. |

Yeah I'd try to laugh it off too. Dude bears fans know that the 86bbears should have won and underachieved. You'll do well to stop being in denial on this and accept it like we do. |

The 2011 packers underachieved even more. But they made the NFC championship game in 2014 and 2016 and Rodgers has been hurt two of the other years. Favre won three straight MVPs and made back to back Super Bowls. You sound ridiculous. |
