LAKE FOREST, Ill. – The Chicago Bears have been stuck on an endless loop at quarterback for the better part of 70 years.
Not since Hall of Famer Sid Luckman retired in 1950 have the Bears possessed a true franchise quarterback.
Like clockwork, the Bears pledge to fix the problem seemingly every offseason only to come up short.
The narrative this year has been no different.
The end of the Mitchell Trubisky era led Chicago to explore various quarterback options as the new league year approached. The Bears’ most ambitious overture was an attempt to acquire eight-time Pro Bowler Russell Wilson from Seattle.
