Nominations are now open for the all-time "Chicago Bears Pro-Blow Team"

Sometimes lovingly referred to as the "Toilet Team" of crappy players & coaches. Please nominate any players or coaches that you feel were "Legends" of stink in the history of the Chicago Bears.

Vote early. Vote often (just like they do in Chicago :smile:).

I'm going to begin the nominations by throwing in the name of one dear to my heart. You all know and love him as Jonathan "Quinn the Eskimo" - the guy we stole from the mighty Berlin Thunder - and who left us for the legendary "Kansas City Brigades" of the arena league.

I thank Jerry Angelo for bringing him to us in 2004 from Turlock California and Middle Tennessee State. Only Quinn the Eskimo could amass 1 TD, with 3 ints and 2 fumbles in so short a career.

You nominate Quinn? I nominate his challenger for worst QB in Bears history Cade McNown with an honorable mention to Henry Burris (the bad QB not the poster)

Great thread idea. I have a few that still come to mind.

QB Kordell Stewart
(Tie) RB Cedric Benson & Garret Wolfe
DE Dan Bazuin
WR Mark Bradley (Boy did this guy look so promising his 1st year until he wrecked his knee against DET. Was a total dud afterwards).
WR Roy Williams (Never caught a ball when it mattered during the game).
OT Stan Thomas
S Adam Archuletta
LB Michael Okwo (Couldn't even get on the field. Sheesh).

OMG
Pace
Fred Miller
Benson
Rick Mirer
Curtis Enis
David Terrell
Michael Haynes
Rashaan Salaam
Terence Metcalf

I agree with BBPB, but i gotta say McCown had me not fretting over not watching the Bears. Wannstedt, Shea and shoop need to be there too.

No coaches yet? Abe Gibron. But the BEARS did get to draft Payton cause of his bad record.

Just think, Tom Landry was talked out of drafting him. Walter was all ready to be a cowboy, and was shocked when they didn't draft him. (From Walter's autobiography).

The ironic thing was, Dooley was his predecessor (and 2nd worst coach in Bears history) at a time when people said "get anybody to replace Dooley, they can't possibly be worse."

Oh to be careful of what you say.

I found this a few minutes ago regarding Quinn:

THE TOP 10 WORST CHICAGO BEARS QUARTERBACKS SINCE 1986

1. Jonathan Quinn
At no point during the development of Jonathan Quinn did he look like a qualified NFL player. But Terry Shea thought so. Bears offensive coordinator Terry Shea came from Kansas City preaching a new style of offense. The Bears felt it would be in their best interest to use a quarterback familiar in the system as a backup. Quinn met all the requirements...except for being able to throw a ball.


Quinn's stats don't match the people before him. However, he represents the ineptitude for Bears quarterbacks since 1986. This guy was discovered, sold as the answer, and then looked worse than any Bears quarterback...ever. Some plays in particular that I liked from Quinn...The four yard in-route thrown to the player's knees. The 3rd and 18 checkdown that leads to a 2 yard gain. And the best of the best...the 'I followed through too far and I chucked the ball at the ground so far that it bounced right back up and I caught it for a six yard loss' play. I love that play.


What made Quinn so special was that he didn't have any touch. Tomczak was the same way, but Tomczak made plays. Quinn made my stomach hurt. Quinn threw screen passes like he was trying to knock the pins down at the county fair. Although he yielded a CTCR of 17.4, which doesn't beat everybody, his lack of any discernable talent creating a void in my heart that I have tried to fill to this day keeps him down on this list...okay, maybe that was too much. He just stunk.

True, but Dallas still got a HOF'er with Randy White.
