Looks Like the Bears Finally Got their QB Situation Right

It’s about time.

As a long-time Bears fan, I’ve seen a lot of bad QB play. Personally, I remember guys who were really bad at the position going back to the 60s. Even in more recent years the team has made some choices that were just shockingly bad. The Mike Glennon signing comes to mind.

Before the 2018 season, the Bears signed Mike to a three-year, $45 million contract with $18.5 million guaranteed. That raises a number of questions. For example, what did they see in Glennon to move them to pay him that much money.

Mike is 6'7" and really lumbering. When he was with the Bears, they always looked like they were about to run the Statue of Liberty Play all the time. Because Glennon looked like a statue.

While Mike was 6'7,” it seemed like two feet of that was neck. I’m not sure where is release point was. I mean his throwing release point. His Bears release point was March 18, 2018. He played the first four games in the 2017 season and then was benched and never took another snap for the Bears. Nice work if you can get it.

I’ll delve into the history of terrible Bears QBs another time. Now I’ll fast forward to 2024.
