Sometimes in Chicago, there's no quarterback more welcome than the unknown, unproven type. Connor Shaw, who threw a whopping 16 passes in the 2016 preseason while throwing for two touchdowns, became something of a cult hero concerning the Bears after breaking his leg in Chicago's third preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs. A lost opportunity at making his mark, especially after the Bears suffered a heavy amount of quarterback injuries throughout the entirety of last season.
Some felt, that if Shaw was healthy, he could've stepped in and put some of his ability showcased in the preseason on display.
