In Caleb Williams, will the Bears finally find their next franchise quarterback?
The Bears last "franchise quarterback" was a guy named Sid Luckman. I once owned a Sid Luckman bubblegum card. I can't remember if I traded it or just lost it.
Since Luckman played that role for the Bears from 1939 through 1948 (winning NFL championships in 1943 and 1946), the Bears have gone with Johnny Lujack, Steve Romanik, Bob Williams, George Blanda, Zeke Bratkowski, Ed Brown, Billy Wade, Rudy Bukich, Jack Concannon, Larry Rakestraw, Virgil Carter, Bobby Douglass, Kent Nix, Gary Huff, Bob Avellini, Mike Phipps, Vince Evans, Jim McMahon, Steve Fuller, Rusty Lisch, Greg Landry, Mike Tomczak, Doug Flutie, Mike Hohensee, Steve Bradley, Jim Harbaugh, Peter Tom Willis, Will Furrer, Steve Walsh, Erik Kramer, Dave Krieg, Rick Mirer, Steve Stenstrom, Moses Moreno, Shane Matthews, Cade McNown, Jim Miller, Chris Chandler, Henry Burris, Kordell Stewart, Rex Grossman, Craig Krensel, Chad Hutchinson, Jonathan Quinn, Kyle Orton, Brian Griese, Jay Cutler, Todd Collins, Caleb Hanie, Josh McCown, Jason Campbell, Jimmy Clausen, Matt Barkley, Brian Hoyer, Mitchell Trubisky, Mike Glennon, Chase Daniel, Nick Foles, Andy Dalton, Justin Fields, Trevor Siemian, Nathan Peterman, and Tyson Bagent.
[However in the last 100 seasons the Bears have won eight NFL championships and one Super Bowl, a record second only to that of the Green Bay Packers.]
