A Quarterback Conundrum: How Many Have Played for the Windy City?
So, you're curious about how many quarterbacks have graced the hallowed turf of Soldier Field, huh? Well, buckle up, because we're about to embark on a thrilling journey through the annals of Chicago Bears quarterback history.
A Quarterback Carousel
Let's get one thing straight: the Bears have had a lot of quarterbacks. It's like they're auditioning for a never-ending reality show called "QB Survivor." Some have been legends, others... well, let's just say they've had their moments.
To put it bluntly, trying to count the exact number of quarterbacks who've donned the navy and orange is like trying to count the grains of sand on a Chicago beach in winter - it's a futile exercise. But we can have some fun with it, right?
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Over the years, the Bears have had their fair share of quarterbacks who could throw a football like a laser-guided missile. Guys like Sid Luckman, Jay Cutler (okay, maybe not a laser), and the legendary Payton Manning... wait, wrong team. But you get the idea.
Then there were the quarterbacks who, let's just say, struggled. Remember Rex Grossman? Or Cade McNown? We'd rather not. It's like they were trying to throw the ball into the wind, but the wind was blowing sideways.
The Never-Ending Search
The Bears' quest for a franchise quarterback is like Indiana Jones searching for the Lost Ark - full of adventure, disappointment, and the occasional glimmer of hope. They've drafted, traded, and signed quarterbacks from all corners of the country, but finding that elusive "the one" has been a challenge.
It's like they're playing quarterback roulette, hoping that the next one will be the charm. And who knows? Maybe Justin Fields is the answer they've been looking for. Only time will tell.
