Why in the hell would a well decorated elite quarterback want to come to Chicago? The never ending list of bad quarterbacks after bad quarterbacks has rolled out like toilet paper fashion since the 1940’s, when Sid Luckman was behind center for the Chicago Bears. I will give honorable mention to Jim McMahon who helped the Bears win their only Superbowl. I also loved Erik Kramer and Jim Miller. All three guys did well, but there has not been a franchise quarterback behind center for a decade behind center. Then a Superbowl winning quarterback named Russell Wilson has the Bears on a short list of teams he’d like to be traded to. Former Bear, Muhsin Muhammad, once said Chicago is where wide receivers come to die. I wonder why he would say something like that? I wonder why Russell Wilson would come to the Bears to get extra steps in being chased all over the field from that shaky offensive line? The Saints, Cowboys, and Raiders are also on Russell Wilson’s short list of places he/d like to be traded to. All four destinations have an Offensive mind as their head coach. What would it take to make a deal like this happen?

The Chicago Bears could have drafted Russell Wilson in 2012. Another swing and another whiff by the Bears brass over the years. Instead, Seattle scooped up Russell Wilson in the third round with the number 75 pick. In 9 seasons in the NFL, Wilson has not missed one game. In 9 seasons, Wilson has been selected to nine Pro-bowls and has led the Seahawks to two Superbowls, winning one of them. If Seattle would have ran Mashawn Lynch on the goal line in that Superbowl loss instead of passing it, they would have won that one. They could have ran it twice. Wilson has a 98-45-1 record in regular season stats during his nine years in the NFL. Wilson’s stats are very impressive as well, as he passed for 33,936 yards with 267 touch down passes with a 65% completion percentage. Wilson has been to 16 playoff games where he has a 9-7 record as he tossed 25 touch down passes in 16 post season games. How many decades would it take the Bears to play in 16 post-season games? With Wilson, which I love about him, you’re never out of games with him behind center. Wilson has 24 comebacks with 31 game-winning drives.

All the teams that Wilson wants to play for, have answers at their starting quarterback position except the Bears. If a trade would occur, Seattle could get a quarterback that is a good option from all the teams except the Bears unless Nick Foles does it for you. Raiders have Derek Carr. The Cowboys have Dak Prescott, if both the Cowboys and Presott representatives can agree on some kind of deal. The New Orleans Saints have Drew Brees, however he may retire. Taysom Hill has the running skills like Russell Wilson, but Hill and Wilson don’t equal each other out in total talent. Jameis Winston is a free agent, so Seahawks could sign him without a trade. One idea would have Seattle and Houston swap starting quarterbacks. Both quarterbacks have problems with the front office on their team. Wilson goes to the Texans and Deshaun Watson heads to Seattle, which could satisfy both parties of disgruntled quarterbacks. However, Wilson has a no-trade clause. The Texans are not on his list. If I was a quarterback, I would pick the Saints first because Sean Payton is the mastermind of offense, out of all four choices. Jon Gruden and Vegas would be the second choice. Chucky Jon Gruden knows offense and has a Superbowl under his belt. The Cowboys’ Jerry Jones would bother me. The Bears have no clue and even as a last resort, if they were the last team on Earth I would still have doubts.

Seattle and Russell Wilson have a rocky relationship. Wilson has not demanded a trade. I can see Wilson, Seattle ownership, and the snake Pete Carol, iron out their differences. I know head coach Matt Nagy and GM Ryan Pace are on thin ice with their jobs. The Bears owner should step in and tell his stooges to do whatever it takes to land Russell Wilson. At the age of 33, Wilson could play another 7 years easily. Look at Tom Brady playing in his 40’s at a high level. Even if Matt Nagy and Ryan Pace are not around to see Wilson lead the Bears to the Superbowl. This deal bringing in Wilson would be much different than the year they traded for the Jag Bag Jay Cutler. Cutler still has a cult following from the Bears faithful. Which some Bears fans thought process meant that they are not the sharpest tools in the shed. Wilson’s leading skills are off the chart. I’d compare him to Yankee great Derek Jeter. Both Jeter and Wilson at their sports, get the job done even if it does not look pretty at times. Russell Wilson does all the little things right. Plus, Wilson has a solid arm with escapability from a closing pocket, that can make plays on the run. I would hope the Bears would fix their offensive line and surround him with playmakers if they got Wilson. Bears should throw every asset they have that includes the kitchen sink to get a Russell Wilson who would be a franchise changer. Even if Matt Nagy has to be Pete Carol’s butler, make it happen. After you land Wilson, then find another offensive mind coach and another GM to replace the stooges. With Russell Wilson on board, you can get smarter people to help you. I know its only a pipe dream as I wake up tomorrow and see Nick Foles is still our quarterback. Oh, the humanity!!!
