Chicago Bears: 10 Best Quarterbacks of All Time

6. Johnny Lujack (1948-1951)

Johnny Lujack loses some points from a longevity standpoint but from a per-season basis, it's hard to argue with his accomplishments. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 1950 and 1951, earning AP First-Team All-Pro honors in 1950 in the process.

Despite starting only eight games in 1949, Lujack led the league in passing yards (2,658), TDs (23), and yards per attempt (8.5). With a 13-5 record as a starter, he's one of the few Bears QBs who can boast such consistent team success on top of individual performance.

Lujack's career was sadly cut short due to lingering injuries, and he lost time early on while serving in the army, so his lack of counting stats aren't really his fault. If Lujack had played longer, there's little doubt he would've continued to impress and drive himself up the Bears' all-time leaders.

Even still, his short run is one of the most successful that any Chicago QB has ever managed.

5. Billy Wade (1961-1966)

The leader of the 1963 NFL Championship winner, Billy Wade spent the first half of his career with the Rams before joining the Bears in a trade. He played in an era that depreciated passing statistics though still threw for 3,172 yards in 1962, the eighth-most in a single season in franchise history.

Wade was named to the Pro Bowl the following year and ranks seventh on Chicago's all-time passing yards list (9,958).

The fact that Wade managed to pass for so many yards even in that era speaks to his impressive ability and production. At a time when few players were putting up gaudy statistics, Wade sticks out.

As one of a handful of players who is a championship-winning QB for the franchise, Wade belongs in the top five.
