Beyond any defensive headlines of late, there doesn’t appear to be a more compelling Chicago Bears storyline than what’s currently going on in their quarterback room. As OTA’s come to a close for the Bears, never has the position seemed more contentious or have more behind-the-scenes work behind it.

The 2017 NFL Draft in selecting Mitchell Trubisky after signing Mike Glennon at No. 2 overall was a mere starting point to this possible powder keg. All of this is happening while former quarterback Jay Cutler gets to ride off peacefully in the sunset, until he broadcasts games with no shame. There is lots of intrigue as to the men under center for the Bears right now, as it should be with no established starter.

We also (partly) load up the mailbag and talk deep-dish pizza. A heated debate around these parts, while we merely try to appreciate the art form.

Enjoy Jack and I as we wax poetically (and lament) the Bears’ quarterback situation, folks. (Full player link here.)
