A really good article on what it takes to develop a QB

I think that I've come to the point with the Bears, that I can accept another QB failure if the team has made reasonable moves this time to be successful.  What has soured me on the past Bears regimes has been the team not making those reasonable moves to support their past quarterbacks.  I guess it comes down to what are the "reasonable moves" this time around?  I like what I see this time around - but want to see the final roster, the finishing touches.  I keep wondering if the Bears did enough for the offensive line.  Maybe.  I have a feeling the team could add a key player there.  And I have no clue as to the existing players there - as to how good the unit will be, including the depth for when (not if, but when) the starters go down with injuries.  The OL will be the most important factor in the equation regarding the success or failure of Caleb Williams in Chicago.  The other factors matter too.  I'm not saying otherwise.  But the OL will be the key that unlocks the Caleb success story here.

Courtney Cronin the writer of that original article on developing QBs is on CHGO right now, talking about this again.  She makes the point that (I am paraphrasing here) that successful franchises understand this stuff as basic development of a rookie QB, while the Bears haven't been willing to do this in the past (or my take on it is the Bears of the past didn't know how... not even basic QB-development 101 level stuff).  But they talk today about how Ryan Poles has approached this in a better way surrounding Caleb with better coaching and player talent.  Good stuff.

LOL, I know.  It has been a long journey since that 1939 draft of old Sid Luckman.  I read an article a few years ago that said we have had over 40 different starting QBs.  I don't remember how far they were going back in time with that figure... probably WAY back I'd guess.  But how is it even possible to cycle through 40+ bad QBs?  Really.  How is that even possible to miss that many times?
