Chicago Bears should risk it all for Russell Wilson in 2021

The Chicago Bears are a very overrated franchise in terms of their all-time relevance. They haven’t been a winning franchise in over 30 years. In all of those years, they have never had a franchise quarterback that is considered a superstar. A lot of people consider Sid Luckman as the greatest Bears’ quarterback of all time and he played from 1939-1950. Jay Cutler is statistically the best which just tells you everything you need to know. For these reasons, they need to risk it all to get one of those elite players under center.

It is time for the Chicago Bears to risk it all on a quarterback in 2021.

Russell Wilson is the big name on the block right now. His name has been in the trade rumors over the past few weeks and the Bears are connected to the rumors. That is the type of deal that could change the franchise forever. He wouldn’t have to do much to be the best that the team has ever had.

Wilson has four seasons of 4000 or more yards and one season with 3900. In the 100 years that the Chicago Bears have existed, they have never had a single quarterback throw for more than 4000 yards. Wilson would move the ball on offense in a way that no one ever has for them.

The Bears have a pretty good roster. They went 8-8 for two years in a row with two quarterbacks in Nick Foles and Mitchell Trubisky who don’t help them win at all. If you plucked Russell Wilson from the Seattle Seahawks and placed him on the Bears, they would become an NFC North contender right away. Their defense has been awesome for years but they are being wasted and overused because the offense doesn’t help them at all. Wilson would change all of that.

For every reason mentioned already, the Bears should risk it all to get him. Do the Seahawks want three first-rounders? Awesome, give it to them. It isn’t like Ryan Pace would do anything useful with those picks anyway. Roquan Smith is the only first-round pick that Pace has hit on during his entire tenure with the Bears. Give them away for Wilson if you can.

It would also probably cost a couple of good players that they have on the roster and they should absolutely do that too. This team has been going nowhere for a very long time and they are going to continue going nowhere until they get an impactful quarterback. It is time to change that if you are Ryan Pace trying to keep your job. He needs to risk it all because he will be gone if he misses this year anyway.
