You can usually tie these things to ownership. Chicago's been in a state of decay for decades because everyone simply trusts the Halas-McCaskey name for 100 years and assumes the problems are... a bad draft or two, a bad stadium, a bad HC hiring, etc.Well would you say the franchise is just snakebitten or something? There are few, if any, teams in NFL history who have had such a consistent string of total shit at the position, and the team themselves aren't doing themselves any favors by continuing to hire inept coaches who can't develop the position properly. I get that it pisses you off, but it's the truth. It's said because some of the best defenses have been in Chicago with only 1 ring to show for it and it's all because they can't coach the QBs they get.
Good teams tend to make small, smart moves, and seem to enjoy more success than failure- the Giants, the Steelers, the Packers, etc. Bad teams seem to frequently feature owners who want to make big splashes, make reactive decisions and seem to have a string of coach firings and rebuilding scenarios. The Bears have never been good in my lifetime. Yeah- they had that stretch in the mid-late 1980s when they were a powerhouse; that's more easily explained away by the brilliance of Mike Ditka, a man who understood the importance of offensive and defensive lines.
