It seems like the debate rages every single year. The Chicago Bears haven’t had a Pro Bowl quarterback since 1985. That is now 32 years. It’s also the last year they won a Super Bowl. Is that a coincidence? Probably not because the previous Pro Bowl quarterback they had before that was 1963 when they won the NFL championship.
Yet each April it seems like the argument must be had again between those who say it’s time to take a quarterback early and those who say it can wait until later. Focus on the defense. Well every front office regime has focused in that direction since then. While the Bears have had some excellent defenses over that span, they have no rings to show for it.
Jay Cutler is done. Brian Hoyer and Matt Barkley are free agents (and backups). Where is that elusive franchise quarterback this team has hungered for? At least one prominent expert thinks he has the answer.
