Chicago Bear quarterbacks since Sid Luckman

Hopes for a successful Chicago Bears season is the highest its been since the Coach of America, Mike Ditka, prowled the sidelines of the Monsters of the Midway.

Mr. Right did some impressive research: When Jay Cutler takes the Bears' snap on Sunday night at Green Bay, he will be the 56th quarterback to do so since Hall of Famer Sid Luckman retired in 1950. Of those QBs, 47 of them were starters.

The Bears were the dominant NFL team in the 1940s, since 1950, they've won just two championships.

Injury-prone Jim McMahon, who led the Bears to their only Super Bowl championship, was the only star of the bunch, although George Blanda was voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame based on his years as a placekicker for the Oakland Raiders.
