Chicago’s Plan B on the quarterback market was an uninspiring choice for fans.
The Chicago Bears have needed a quarterback for what feels like forever, trapped in a Browns-ian cycle of mediocrity (at best) at the most important position on the field.

This year, there was brief hope on the horizon when Russell Wilson and Deshaun Watson both put forth trade requests, with Wilson even including the Bears on his shortlist of teams he’d want to play for.
