Chicago Columnist Sums Up Bears QB Mess With One Title

It's hardly newsworthy to point out the bad "luck" the Bears have had with quarterbacks since 1992 -- used as the baseline year for comparison because up until this season the Packers had only had one starter. In reality, it's more terrible precision in choosing passers than anything fictional like luck. There have been 21 different starters in the past 15 seasons for the Chicago Bears. Peter King provided the embarrassing list under Muhsin Muhammad's very original revelation that QBs in Chicago haven't been very good.

Today, though, I finally saw something that really puts into perspective the absolute mess that has become of the Windy City version of the most important position in sports.

J.T. O'Sullivan is apparently the "one who got away."

I wish I could just say I'm speechless. Honestly, though, doesn't that just sum up the absolute dregs the Bears have been running out at QB in recent memory? I can't even fault the columnist for saying this. O'Sullivan's about to start in a Mike Martz offense, after beating out a former number one pick. Say what you want about Alex Smith, and I have, but you don't get selected first overall without talent.

Go get 'em, Kyle Orton. You obviously have an uphill battle when people are clamoring for Mr. O'Sullivan.
