The Chicago Bears quarterback woes are well-documented and long-standing.
With the addition of Andy Dalton and end of the Mitch Trubisky era comes a new chance to analyze how the Bears compare at the position.
The plan to build around Trubisky did not play out as the team hoped, as the Bears parted ways with the quarterback after four years.
A look at quarterback performance and spending shows that since 2015, when Ryan Pace began as Bears general manager, teams that have spent more money on quarterbacks have won more. This isn’t true in all cases, but it’s the general trend.
Over Pace’s tenure, the Bears have underperformed in terms of wins and quarterback performance. As far as spending goes, the team is near the league average. As the Bears look for their next answer at QB, here’s a look at how they compare with the rest of the league.
