“Draft day is when you find out whose fault last season was.”
Bernie Lincicome of the Chicago Tribune wrote those words in 1996 to start his column about Bears 1st round pick Walt Harris. They’re as true now as they were then. Mitchell Trubisky is the balm applied to the Cutler era. Once he sets foot on that field, whether Week 1 this year or in 2018, we’ll find out whose fault last season was.
Bears fans have found a lot of fault since 1993. That year was Dave Wannstedt’s first as head coach. We needed to know whose fault 5-11 was.
