Chicago have never had good QBs, their drafting on offense has never been good. Their hallmark is defense and the occasional competent offense. What they need is a sensible game manager who can get the most of out a limited offensive talent pool. Stafford ticks those boxes and then some.

Yeah but statistically there’s less of a drop off year to year if you can build a competent to good offense, rather than a stellar defense. See the fall in efficiency from this bears defence from the all world one it was in the season after khalil Mack was traded for..
Stafford would probably be good for them in that regard as they have a couple of decent offensive pieces, They don’t have the picks to get a good qb in the draft, will be interesting to see which of the backups, starting qbs with question marks are in demand..
Writer on the ringer was talking about possible replacements for Big Ben in Pittsburgh if he decided to retire (he’s due $41m next season) mentioned sam darnold and Carson wentz, who will probably be on Chicago’s radar as well..

Don't think Chicago or Trubisky will ever be able to overcome the fact that they traded up in the draft to take him, ahead of Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes. Kinda like the whole Sam Bowie/ Michael Jordan, or Kevin Durant/ Greg Oden, executives can't get out from under missing out on a transcendent talent, and the player is always unfairly compared to those taken after them.
