Luckman completed 51.8% of his passes for 14,686 yards and 137 touchdowns with 134 interceptions.[15] He averaged 8.4 yards per attempt,[15] second all-time only to Otto Graham (8.6). His career touchdown rate (percentage of pass attempts that result in touchdowns) of 7.9%[15] is easily the best in history IN 1943 one game that year, Luckman threw for 443 yards and seven touchdowns, still tied for the most passing touchdowns in one game; it was also the first 400-yard passing game in NFL history. 12 SEASONS WITH THE BEARS 1939-1950 THOGH GREAT AS A ROOKIE AND IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS CAREER SAY 1943 HE DID TRAIL OFF DRASTICALLY HIS LAST 3 SEASONS … BUT OVER ALL TIME WILL TELL AFTER 12 SEASONS IF JAY CUTLER WILL BE BETTER THAN SID LUCKMAN AND I ALSO AGREE WITH THE ARGUEMENT OF JIM MACMAHON ONE SUPERBOWL RING DOESNT MAKE YOU GREAT OR EVEN GOOD BUT HAD HE BEEN GIVEN THE CHANCE TO STAY HEALTY WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED OH WELL THUS IS THE PARITY OF THE NFL

The only reason Sid Luckman isn’t the hands down top choice is because none of the voters actually saw him play. Luckman is the hands down best quarterback the Bears have ever seen. Cutler will have to go a long way to match Luckman’s career. McMahon had a great season in ’85 – but one season doesn’t make a career.

Last year I was saying, “He’s good. If he can make better decisions and get actually have a decent receiver he will change things.”

This year I said, “If he gets ANY protection and Knox, Hester and Olsen start running their routes right, things will change.” Forte is good whatever he does and always has been so I leave him out of that comment.

Well, since the bye week look what’s happened.

The next couple years I say watch Jay and Co. get more and more comfortable with the Martz offense. The sky is the limit.

I raise a beer to Jay Cutler, the only Bears QB in my three decades of life that makes me believe in a Bear’s offensive PASSING threat! Slainte!

It would have been helpful to show the same stats for each QB, however….

Luckman stands out for his 4 rings and much higher TD count. He gets my vote. Cutler hasnt done anything yet and hasn’t been around long enough. If he gets 2 to 3 rings he gets my vote. Harbaugh and Kramer were average at best, but fair enough that puts them near the top of a list of good Bears QQs. McMahon was a star, if he could see out of both eyes he may have been one of the leagues best ever, but he cant and he “only” got one ring.

I am with Deez on this one. The word “goodest” completely applies to this post and here’s why: The Bears have NEVER had a “great” quarterback. We’ve had a few (emphasis on the word “few”) “good” quarterbacks. So, is JC the “best” of the “good” Bears quarterbacks, or “goodest”. Makes total sense to me!
