It’s been 34 years since the Bears last won the Super Bowl. And it’s been 13 years since the Bears last played in a Super Bowl. A gruesome reminder that this team has underachieved over the last three decades.
The Bears have had just two quarterbacks that have played in the Super Bowl over the last 54 years, including the Punky QB himself, Jim McMahon.
NFL.com recently ranked all of the quarterbacks to ever play in a Super Bowl, and McMahon landed in the middle of the pack at No. 54.
While the 1985 Bears were known for their ferocious defense, McMahon commanded an offense that could hold its own. The Bears offense averaged 28.5 points per game, which was second in the NFL. McMahon remains the only Super Bowl-winning quarterback in Bears history.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, Rex Grossman was ranked the worst quarterback to ever play in a Super Bowl at No. 63.
Grossman only had three seasons where he started more than three games (2006, ’07, 2011), but at least Sexy Rexy has a nickname that will live forever.
As if the Bears needed a reminder of their poor quarterback history.
