Some Tribune article said Tom Brady's 61 TD passes as a Buc would make him 8th all-time for TDs thrown on the list of Bears QBs. I haven't looked at Bear QB stats in a long time and maybe it's good that I haven't.
Aaron Rodgers alone would rank 9th for the Bears all-time in TDs thrown if he played 2020 for the Bears and threw the same amount of TD passes (48).
Brady has thrown 600 TDs in his career. You have to add the top 7 Bear QBs in terms of TDs thrown to get 616.
Mitch (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky has the best Bears QB rating out of qualifying QBs and the league currently rates him as a backup QB while he's still in the middle of his prime.
Is there something bigger than mismanagement going on here? Even the Bulls lucked into a superstar after Jordan. The Cubs, WS, and Blackhawks have all won big. What is going on with the Bears?
I don't think so. Just completely football-inept owners who are way more involved in football ops than they tell Dan Bernstein they are. When you add that to the fact that the NFL franchise is the source of their familial wealth rather than a product of it, so they're a little more stingey with non-cap related expenditures like paying coaches to go away sooner, this is what you tend to get.
