As if we needed it, right? Anyway, this blew me away. I sure hope we finally draft a solid QB this year. We don't have to have a Hall of Fame guy, but just get a decent QB who doesn't crap the bed on gameday. Is that too much to ask?
ONE TOM BRADY STAT THAT IS GUARANTEED TO MAKE BEARS FANS DEPRESSED
Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are headed to the Super Bowl.
Ho hum.
Just another year in the NFL.
Brady's excellence has blown well past historical proportions and is now getting into the territory of surreal.
Following Sunday night's victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship game, The MMQB's Peter King released this whopper of a stat:
That is a punch to the gut of Bears fans who have seen their favorite team make the playoffs only once in the last decade and tally just four postseason victories over the past 26 seasons (dating back to 1991).
Brady's run of success with Bill Belichick and the Patriots is remarkable and likely won't ever be duplicated (let alone surpassed).
In less than two weeks, Brady will play in his seventh Super Bowl — the most ever for one player — and as such, means we've seen Brady in 13.7 percent of the Super Bowls all time
And just think, there are other franchises that are even worse.
That's true, but FWIW it doesn't make me feel one bit better. I wonder what it must feel like as a fan to have a great QB leading the team. It must feel mighty good.
Yep been hearing that, but lets point something out. To be fair there was no playoffs until 1933, and even at that, the playoffs early on were really(outside of ties) just the winner of each division.
1967 was the first time they had an actual playoff, and had 4 teams. So saying since 1922 is really unfair, and lets face it, the bears heyday were well before they had 4 playoff games. And btw, only other 6 teams have 24 or more playoff wins besides NE. Pitt, GB, Dal, SF, Oak and NY. What do most of those teams have in common? Multiple top teir qb's.
Wanna have the bears join that club, stop picking qb's in rounds 3-UDFA, and start drafting them more then ever 5-6 years. Draft them early and often till you find the one that gets the job done. You get your qb in order, for the next 10-15 years you can work on getting the Def and O correct.

I agree with picking more QBs but how many of those top tier QBs were taken at the top of the draft?
On a separate note on New England's dynasty. Yes it's been Brady and the hoody but another constant w/New England is a big strong interior D Line.
