4 Reasons Why the Bears Should Trade for Cutler

Every so often the Bears brass comes on with sage words about how they are developing a quarterback. But in the almost 90 year history of the Bears have they ever developed a Quarterback? I think you'll be shocked to read why trading for QB talent is the only way the Bears will ever get talent.

Reason 1
Erik Kramer holds the season record for TD's and Yds (29 and 3838). By comparison Joe Willie Namath broke the 4000 yard barrier in a 14 game season back in 1967. Johnny Unitas broke the 30 TD barrier in a 12 game season in 1959 (he had 32).

Reason 2

Jeff Graham holds the Bears season receiving record with 1301. By comparison Elroy "Crazy Legs" Hirsch approached the 1500 yard barrier in 1951 in a 12 game season (he had 1495). Jerry Rice broke 1,000 yards 14 times in his career.

Reason 3

The Bear's career leader for receiving yards is Johnny Morris. He had 5,059 yards way back in the late fifties and sixties. That puts Johnny (who did a fine job hosting the Mike Ditka Show) at 217 all-time, behind such luminaries as O.J. McDuffie and Yancy Thigpen. Jerry Rice has 22,895, which means he could have quit 4 years into his career and still finished ahead of Johnny.

Reason 4
Marty Booker holds the single season reception record for the Bears, 100 in 2001. In 2002, Jerry Rice caught 92... he was 40 at the time.

Passing records like the Bears (if you can call them records) are shockingly bad. I dare say you cannot find a NFL team that has had more inept talent at the most important positions. Even worse for Bears fans they don't look like they'll get better anytime soon. Unless of course they pick up the phone and buy what they can't create.
