Populated with losers from ownership to player?
We were supposed to be building a modern pro offense and instead fell right back into our old bears ways of over investing on the defensive side of the ball and getting away from what Pace's primary goal was when hired.

From ownership to fans. I even feel bad for the kids in 3rd world countries wearing Bears Super Bowl XLI shirts.Populated with losers from ownership to player?
Ancient history was great for the Greeks and romans also. Where are they today? LolThe overall history of the Chicago Bears is quite good. Nine world championships.
The recent history of the Chicago Bears is not so good.
Last Super Bowl appearance: 13 years ago.
Last Super Bowl victory: 35 years ago.
Prospects moving forward: The Bears seem destined to be mired in mediocrity, despite having one of the best defenses in the National Football League.
This will be the case until the Bears get the quarterback situation right. That is not to say the Bears don't have other concerns - They do. Most obviously, an effective offensive line.
Getting a top-tier quarterback, however, covers up a myriad of deficiencies elsewhere, and elevates marginal players to average, and average players to above average. If you don't believe that, look northward.
Chicago had a shot at getting "the guy" four years ago when they had the second overall pick in the draft. In hindsight, that appears to have been a big swing-and-a-miss, of Dave Kingman proportions.
The Bears will not be drafting that high in 2021, nor will they be coming off of a Super Bowl victory. They will be a middle-of-the-pack team, in all likelihood.
That does not, however, preclude the Bears from getting a quality quarterback of the future - It just makes it harder. The other obstacle may be that Nagy and Pace are too far into their respective contracts to be interested in a rookie QB.
And so, here we are, again - The brain-trust that brought you Mike Glennon, Mitchell Trubisky and Nick Foles still in charge....Virginia still enjoying afternoon naps and reruns of the Golden Girls....
Not good.
When playoff appearances are anomalies yes they are a bottom franchise. Our division is consistently owned by pack and vikes
Loser org from top to bottom.
You see things that somehow transcend coaches or players and remain persistent for decades.
One is how the Bears as a team tend to shit themselves (technical term) against the Packers.
They've been doing it my entire life.... it got worse under Rodgers, but in general the Bears will always play down to the Packers aside from anomalies like the 2006 team.
How about lack of offensive rhythm? We've had that problem under multiple GMs, multiple HCs, multiple OCs, and many iterations of different players and player-types.
How about bad OLine? Again other than the 2006 aberration, I recall few if any truly good OLines the Bears have fielded and kept healthy.
How about the shitty field? This has been a thing for like 10+ years.... no one in the Bears org can fix it, we're just destined to have a shitty field where guys constantly slip and trip and tear up ACLs.
How about those offseasons where you watch the Bears just obviously ignore a position group (OLine this year, TE last year) and you proverbially scream into the wind "WE NEED FUCKING OLINE OR NOTHING IN THE OFFENSE WILL WORK"?
This kind of shit happens year after year, GM after GM, HC after HC, Coordinator after Coordinator, Player after Player, because the Ownership and their Executive Leadership Team are failures..... they don't know football, they hire people who don't know football, whom hire more people whom don't know football.
Even if they hire people whom know football, they don't have a leadership structure that holds each layer above and below accountable for their performance, so they do the same things year after year the same way (because its easy) and you see patterns of behavior and failure that transcend players, coaches, and even GMs.
I am firmly on the "The Bears won't be better until Ownership changes" train.
