Jim McMahon, quarterback of the Bears’ 1985 championship team, wouldn’t recommend the organization to anyone else who plays that position.
McMahon blasted his former team as the place “where quarterbacks go to die,” in an appearance on FatMike Chicago Sports Show this week.
“Chicago has always been known for their defense — their defense and their running game— and that’s probably all they’re ever gonna be known for,” McMahon said. “I think it’s where quarterbacks go to die.
“They get a lot of blame — some of it they deserve.”
His criticism comes at a particularly rough time in the Bears’ ongoing quarterback circus.
