Bears have had bad luck at QB since the Sid Luckman days

Jay Cutler is the Bears’ all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns. Erik Kramer is the all-time leader in single-season passing yards and touchdowns. Jim McMahon is the only quarterback in Bears history to have won a Super Bowl.

But Sid Luckman remains the standard — even though he last played on Dec. 10, 1950, in a 6-3 victory against the Lions at Wrigley Field.

Luckman’s record of achievement and impact is indisputable. He was the catalyst for four NFL championship teams (1940, 1941, 1943 and 1946). The Bears were 95-30-2 in games he played, including 45-6-1 from the final month of the 1939 season through 1943.
