5 fears or frustrations Chicago Bears fans will always have

The Green Bay Packers will continue to own the Chicago Bears

Prior to 1992, the Chicago Bears had a commanding series lead over their hated rival, the Green Bay Packers. Since then, the Packers have dominated the Bears. The moment Brett Favre started throwing passes for the Packers, Green Bay is 45-15.

Aaron Rodgers has owned the Bears with a 22-5 record and 61 touchdown passes.

It has been frustrating to watch year-in and year-out that the Packers continue to rack up wins over the Bears. What is worse is watching the Packers do it with one Hall of Fame quarterback and another one that is bound for Canton.

The Packers have gotten the quarterback position correct twice while the Bears still cannot even find a quarterback that is Pro Bowl worthy. Remember, Cutler was a Pro Bowler with Denver and Trubisky made the Pro Bowl as an alternate so it technically does not count.

The Packers continue to embarrass the Bears for a generation and there just does not seem to be an answer from the Bears’ front office–except for a few years where Lovie Smith had some success. Dread, frustration, and fear are emotions that come to mind for Chicago fans on the day the Bears play the Packers.

The Chicago Bears’ first-round pick is usually a bust.

The Bears have drafted Hall of Famers Brian Urlacher, Gale Sayers, Dick Butkus, Walter Payton, and Jimbo Covert in the first round.

They have even drafted players who had good careers like Curtis Conway, Tommie Harris, Mark Carrier, Trace Armstrong, and Donnell Woolford with a first-round pick.

Roquan Smith is trending towards having a great career with the Bears. He was one of the few recent first-round picks to have hit for the Chicago Bears.

The Bears’ first-round pick has typically come in with a lot of hope only to become a big disappointment.

Kyle Fuller and Kyle Long had good careers for the Bears but there is a long list of first-round busts that have contributed to the Bears’ struggles this generation.

The 1990s were filled with them in Alonzo Spellman, John Thierry, Rashaan Salaam, Curtis Enis, and McNown.

Angelo built up a Super Bowl contending team in the early 2000s but it was mostly through later-round picks. Michael Haynes, Cedric Benson, Chris Williams, Gabe Carimi, and Grossman all were busts.

He hit on Greg Olsen but traded him away for a draft pick after the 2010 season because he did not fit offensive coordinator Mike Martz’s system. Well, at least that is what the offensive coordinator at the time felt.

Harris was also a first-round success until injuries curtailed his career. Benson did go on to have a good career at stops with the Cincinnati Bengals and the Packers.

Emery made two good first-round picks but he whiffed badly on Shea McClellin. He passed on Chandler Jones and went with McClellin to be a 4-3 pass rusher when he was more suited to be a rotational 3-4 edge defender.

Pace had busts with his first three first-rounders in Kevin White, Leonard Floyd, and Trubisky. Although, Floyd had to go to the Los Angeles Rams to realize his potential.

Maybe the Bears should do what the Rams have done and just trade their first-round picks for proven players because usually the Bears bust on them.

Fields happens to be a first-round pick and a quarterback. Maybe that is why Bears fans are always on edge with his development.
