#4: The 1993 group
#4: The 1993 groupIt should’ve been considered a pretty big omen that the first year of Dave Wannstedt as head coach featured total ineptitude at the quarterback position. After all, he was a defensive-minded coach. Basically somebody who would uphold the Bears tradition of good defense, but totally outmatched by the task of developing a functional signal caller. Fittingly, the gag-inducing performances that year would become one mark of many on his tombstone.
It’s hard to imagine the team was that bad with a future Pro Bowler and great head coach in Jim Harbaugh at the helm. Peter Tom Willis was no better. Harbaugh barely managed to top 2,000 yards passing. As a team the Bears threw seven touchdowns. Seven. Total. For the entire year. That’s a special kind of bad. The 16 interceptions they added just made it that much harder to stomach. Little surprise everybody was replaced the next season.
