It’s been a long time since Sid Luckman was slinging the pigskin at Wrigley Field. The Chicago Bears don’t play their anymore, but the Chicago Cubs won a World Series there four years ago. All the while, the Bears haven’t found a franchise quarterback they can be proud of. Jim McMahon won them a Super Bowl, Rex Grossman got them to one and Jay Cutler could certainly spin it.
However, Chicago will be ablaze with the fiery passion this passionate sports town hasn’t seen since Michael Jordan three-peaked for the second time. Patrick Kane might have won a few Stanley Cups with elite hockey hair, but nobody will push more Pantene than Lawrence in Da Windy City. Remember when Sammy Sosa broke Roger Maris’ record? It’ll be like that.
The Bears will be good for a very, very, very long time with Lawrence as their starting quarterback. Matt Nagy will become the greatest coach in franchise history since Mike Ditka. If you put Lawrence on the Bears, there wouldn’t be a point to put the Dallas Cowboys on prime-time television anymore because Chicago will become the most popular team in the NFL because they’ll win!
Frankly, Chicago won’t be bad enough to be in a position to draft Lawrence. The only way the Bears will get Lawrence is if Nick Foles gets hurt again and Mitchell Trubisky is forced to start every game. Simultaneously, the entire Bears defense would have to walk off the field. Though getting Lawrence would be incredible, Bears fans need to keep dreaming.
