The offseason is only half over and already Chicago Bears fans are left wondering. Could 2017 go down as the worst quarterback depth chart this team has ever had? On the surface it’s not exactly the most enticing group. Mike Glennon, a former third round pick turned failed starter and then backup. Mark Sanchez, a former first round pick turned failed starter and then journeyman backup. Finally Connor Shaw, a former undrafted free agent who flamed out in Cleveland and broke his leg last year.
What exactly about this group inspires any sort of confidence that the Bears will be better in 2017? Mind you they just got done finishing 3-13. It shouldn’t be that hard to improve on such a record. That’s how low the expectation bar has been set. So if Chicago does not make a meaningful move in the draft, this is what they have.
The best minds in the world couldn’t sell that. Then again, even this group might not qualify as one of the five worst in franchise history. That should give people an idea of just how bad the quarterback play has gotten in this city over the decades.
