In this era of passing offense it's ridiculous for a team to have never had a 4k passer, and I believe the Bears are the only ones not to.

But I don't really care about passing yards, I care about making the plays downfield and stacking wins.

Bears QB records mean nothing. There are only 2 teams in the NFL who have never had a 4,000 yard passer.

Who other than the Bears? Eagles?

So, anyone want to tell me how often 4K+ yard passing offenses have actually won the SB in the past decade or so? I seem to remember that pretty much every offense putting up gaudy passing yards got smacked in the playoffs.

The bears are not a SB contender rn. The best we can hope for is a play off birth and production from Mitch. We have 1/2 so far.

This would be awesome. He does have a couple games coming up (NYJ and BUF) to pad his stats a little bit. So nice to see how quickly he's progressing after a rocky start.

Real question is... will he ever be able to put up 4.5K and 40TD?
He is on pace for around 35 td's too/ So yea, I think he will achieve those numbers in a season eventually.

For what it is worth, Brees and Brady did it.

Warner also did it but that was in 1999.

Five yard screen passes where Cohen runs another 10 yards start to add up.

Oops, I think Manning didn´t. I need to check

Each also has multiple season where they got smacked out of the playoffs as well.

In fact Brees has 12 seasons passing 4K+ and only one SB title.
Manning has 14 seasons passing 4K+ and only won two SBs off the back of his defenses. To his credit he even jokes about it.
Brady has 9 seasons passing 4K+. Three of those seasons the Pats won the SB.

I agree. Lots of passing yards does not guarantee a Super Bowl victory. That is why the phrase "Defense wins championships" is so true.

It sure helps a really good defense to also have a good offense too.

I think Cutler's highest yard total with the Bears was 2014 where most of his passes were dump offs to Forte.

He is on pace to throw for more than 30 touchdowns also which no other bears QB has done.
