This article interviews several NFL coaches on what they feel is the key to developing an NFL QB. I paid particular attention to the GB coaches as I feel they have a real QB machine there. The comment about scars and confidence hit home as I feel that is exactly what happened to a few of our guys. I think it was starting to happen to Fields, but that dude is as tough mentally as I have ever seen.

I don't think GB has a machine per say. Unless of course they have had the same guy over all these years that have helped develope each QB. They just have stupid dumb luck I feel.

You'll never convince people. But I agree 100%. Unless....dela with the Devil at a crossroad at midnight? Kind of like....good QBs in exchange for having to live/work in GB?
Dumb luck over and over? I have to disagree. When you have a persistent pattern, you have an underlying reason
I understand all that BUT who was there beside ownership from Bart Starr to current? Unless we are just talking from A.Rod to Love. Then that would be the Guten guy.

I get that. And you are absolutely right. But when you have a good system in place and train the guys below the guys who are running the system, then when they leave the other guys just run with it. With a good system and the ability to pick good coaches to back up the main guys, it just keeps chugging. That's what you strive to do in any organization. Put a system in place that works.... adhere to it.... make sure you hire good people and train them well. It becomes self perpetuating if you do it right. I would say that it's not that easy to actually do, but the proof is in the results. They are doing it.

I really liked that article. Courtney Cronin, is one of my favorite Bears reporters. She (rightly) points out that the Bears have not developed a QB in eighty-five years. The franchise has whiffed since that 1939 draft of Sid Luckman. That isn't "bad luck" but a bad franchise. If Ryan Poles and Matt Eberflus want to develop this year's draftee, Caleb Williams, then they need to go all out in supporting his success. You don't just "draft a guy" and sit back and expect magic to happen. That just gets you 85 years of failure. You have to go all in with the things those successful NFL guys noted in that article. It's a check list for success. Unfortunately the Bears haven't checked many of those boxes in the past 85 years here.

I'm not sure I would characterize it as a bad franchise as much as a franchise that had no clue (or you can characterize it as a broken) on QB development. The process is for sure wrong. Whether that means we can't scout them right, or know how determine what the important traits are or how to develop those traits or what to look for in the people that develop them or what exercises (training reps) are the ones to develop what we want, how to have a vet mentor them... or more likely most of the above, we don't do it well.
Am I worried about throwing a new QB out there right away? Honestly yes. Even a guy as talented as Williams. We simply keep breaking our guys over and over again. This time we did surround him with talent, and that is different than before. Is that enough? I truly don't know, but I guess we are about to find out

I agree and feel the same way... and have the same worries. We do have more talent than I can remember in past instances of bringing in a new QB. Failed franchise is a bit harsh. I agree, it is more accurate to say they have no clue on QB development... at least in the past. I do feel like this time it comes down to the offensive line. If it is solid, I believe the skill players are pretty good for a Bears team anyway. But if the offensive line fails (lack of talent or injuries... whatever) then it's going to impact the development of Caleb Williams in a negative way. I just hope that when the roster is truly completed, that Poles will have upgraded the offense line to where it is good with the starters, and has solid depth. (and before someone jumps on me to lecture me about backups are not starters... hey, give me credit for understanding that - but there is a threshold of competence needed in your depth players too).
