If the offense is entirely dependent on one QB remaining healthy it's not a good offense.

I complain about Maddox because he's sucked the two games he started this year. He did OK the year he was a starter and most of his problems then were caused by Mularky changing the offensive scheme to something the team wasn't built for, but this year he's been terrible coming off the bench. Two turn overs in OT against Jax, nothing about the team he's on would have improved that, the team you're playing on doesn't make you drop the snap and it doesn't make you throw a stupid desperation heave on 1st down to a part of the field with nobody wearing your uniform.

Oh yeah, I forgot you guys picked up Stewart, the ultimate proof that the guys in charge of selecting offensive players for the Bears know nothing. Stewart was a terrible QB, the Steelers proved that and anybody thinking Stewart should be given a shot after his terrible years in Pittsburgh was just stupid. And we have QBs running around too, and getting hurt in the process (HELLO Big Ben missed games due to injury twice this year, and we lost Batch, and Ben got his shot because Maddox went down).

Not any team facing those injuries would have done nothing, the Rams lost their starter and 2nd QB in the beginning of the year in 2000 and went on to win the Superbowl. So apparently some teams can overcome losing QBs.

Only three qbs in a year for the Rams. We hadn't had a qb start more than three consecutive games until Hutchinson played in five last year.

Stewart had been a pro bowl qb while with the Steelers and the Bears were desperate. There was no one else available and stupidity was not the issue just hoping against hope that he would have another Pro Bowl year.

No team can go through qbs like the Bears and be successful. One had a complete season in a decade. Even having a bad qb stay healthy would have been an improvement including Stewart. That is how bad it has been.
