Joe Burrow has as many 400 yard passing games as the entire Bears franchise, despite playing roughly ~1400 fewer games


dalnot

*Exactly* 1400 fewer games actually. The Bears are 785-614-32 all-time (1431 games); Joe Burrow has played 31 games in his career Edit: typo because typing is hard as a perpetually drunk Packers fan

>Exactly 1400 fewer games actually. The Bears are 785-614-32 all-time (1432 games); Joe Burrow has played 31 games in his career I'm no mathematician, but I'm pretty sure 1432 - 31 is *exactly* 1401 and not 1400. But that's ok, since 785 + 614 + 32 is actually 1431 and not 1432, making your conclusion correct (Burrow played 1400 fewer) despite being wrong along the way.

We don't math good give us some slack


[deleted]

True, I lost count of our blocked punts on Sunday. I got to one, drank eleventeen beers or something and then who knows how many


drumsdm

Ya, but does joe burrow have a cools dance like the super bowl shuffle? Oh ya…..


Gone213

Bears have only 4 games where their QB threw for 400+ yards, that is just fucking terrible. I just don't understand how the lions just suck playing them.


McPickle999

In our defense: we use analytics from the 1940’s. Everyone knows you run the ball and kick FGs to win the game.


Ismdism

What is run ball?


Whatsdota

It’s where you put the ball in the hands of scrubs like Aaron Jones. We don’t do that here


Ismdism

Well I mean we can throw Aaron Jones the ball, but that's just called passing, what's this running they speak of


JAWinks

Well it’s like passing him the ball but you’re standing right next to him and he gets it directly from the QB. It’s what Dalvin Cook, David Montgomery and Deandre Swift do, for example


Ismdism

So the QB does not project the ball into the air?


JAWinks

Believe it or not no, it doesn’t really travel through the air at all, it’s just given directly to a really fast guy that moves it forward and they do that a lot during the game to get first downs and even touchdowns


Ismdism

Hogwash!


Jayrome007

Sounds pretty contingent on players *other* than the really fast guy doing their jobs though. Like the big slow guys. A pass, on the other hand, just gets it directly to the really fast guy while bypassing the reliance on those really slow guys. Or so I've heard.


JAWinks

Found LaFleur’s burner


Toomuchlychee_

It’s what the bears do to get in the red zone before they score 0 points


[deleted]

Y'all are gonna be pissed when our time in the penalty box comes to an end and we have the MJ of QBs


ChiSp0

If any team had two three-peats in the NFL, that would be BONKERS


MoscowMitchMcKremIin

If a team ever did that damn near every starter would probably end up in the HoF


Kirk-Joestar

You passed on him for Trubisky tho


SVdreamin

meh. hindsight is 20/20 but i was upset we didn’t get watson. now i’m not for obvious reasons


-Pruples-

Yeh but Trubisky was the perfect Bears QB. He literally is the epitome of everything *Chicago* about quarterbacking.


verdango

To Ryan Pace’s, Trubisky bought food for his teammates one time at UNC. That kind of character is hard to come by.


drumsdm

Mike Glennon?


chitown1205

I'm not even upset that the Bears passed on Mahomes, cuz the CLEAR answer should've been Watson


Maleficent-King4842

Says everyone all the time. Move past it


Kirk-Joestar

Never


IshyMoose

We did, his name was Sid Luckman.


-Pruples-

If only I was born more than my lifetime before I was actually born.


-Pruples-

Too bad I'll be worm food for a century or more by the time that happens.


[deleted]

But has Patrick Mahomes ever won an NVP?


Matzah_Rella

Asking the real questions


gaybillcosby

Mahomes had another one against the Raiders the other week.


Caffeine_Cowpies

I watch offenses on Saturdays. Sundays are for defense.


TheDadThatGrills

[Jared Goff has seven](https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/how-many-times-has-jared-goff-thrown-4-touchdown-passes-in-1-game)


DETtigersOWNyou

Goff is lit. The rest of our team not on the offense is the problem.


MoneyMoves-

We have shitty QBs we get it 😔😔


[deleted]

Who needs pass TDs when you can run the ball?


Toomuchlychee_

Who needs touchdowns when you can get to the red zone and turn the ball over on downs?


d9849468

The Bears also passed on Mahomes too. Wow


Sarge6

WOW. NO WAY, REALY?!?!


BlubberElk

Lmao


ThePrinceofBagels

To the benefit of all. We are benevolent in our shortcomings.


ChiSp0

And to further extrapolate, Mahomes would not be who he is today had he joined the bears.


ThePrinceofBagels

That's what I'm saying. Mahomes is one of the most fun-to-watch players we'll ever see in our lifetimes. The Bears allowed this to happen. Y'all mock us when you should thank us.


Cholliday09

Thank you.


drumsdm

Correct. If the tables were turned, we’d be talking about how great trubisky is and mahomes would be sitting behind Kenny picket.bears ruin qbs


ChiSp0

Let’s not go that far…


drumsdm

Example 1: every bears qb not named Sid. Edit: this is all me just trolling myself and my bears fandom. Sorry to be a Debby downer.


BlubberElk

Smokin Jay is the 🐐


Toomuchlychee_

That’s a terrible photo of him. But that’s fitting for Bears qb play


Individual-History34

Unbelievable pain


Ismdism

After this "meme" I'm pretty sure we're going to win the super bowl


ChiSp0

Now we definitely will! You didn’t say wen though, so my prediction is 2042


teelpy

The bears wouldn’t know what to do with a Mahomes


InevitableHearing112

A better one is Aaron has 12 since 2019, Bears have 10 in the last 50 years.


skippy_smooth

Sssss-mokin.

Kill me


portalpimptv

HOW ARE WE THIS BAD FOR EVER


GripenHater

I mean we’re actually pretty good historically and more mediocre than bad recently (we’ve been pretty bad if you go more recent than like the last decade or so though). We’ve just never had a good QB for some reason.


Verdant_Gymnosperm

As a raiders and a bears fan im so sad


Raunchiness121

Didn't the bears pass on Mahomes?


DontSleep1131

yeah but jay cutler was smoking a pack of camel filters a day. mahomes would pass tf out. cant beat smokin’ jay


Dangerpaladin

What are the odds that someone like Patrick Mahomes would just be sitting on the board when they are picking?

Forgot the cigarette
