Jay Cutler passed Sid Luckman in 2013 to become the all-time leading passer in Bears history, and he passed Luckman in 2015 to become the franchise’s leader in passing touchdowns. Yet as glorious and productive as he was, there was one man whose records he could not topple.
Erik Kramer.
Yes, my fellow November 6er is the unlikely holder of two significant Bears single-season passing records, both of which he set in that glorious season of league-wide aerial assaults, 1995: passing yards, with 3,838, and touchdown passes, with 29.
Cutler came close.
