You left out anywhere between 2 & 4 Really Important Facts from this. You mentioned ownership. Can you imagine Justin Herbert saying publicly that his Own Coaches are confusing him & he doesn't know what they expect of him & Chargers ownership doing or saying nothing? Well let me rephrase this then: can you imagine _ANY_ team ownership hearing that one of the people they pay $ to is meddling with their QB in such a way & saying or doing nothing? By itself this may still be nothing. It could be a whiny QB trying to deflect responsibility. But then why did the play-calling change immediately after, the Bears went on a tear weeks 8-10 of '22, Fields led the league in offense over that stretch, over Mahomes, Allen/Diggs proving it *_WAS_** ONLY* play-calling holding him back, then the Bears returned to calling the plays like before, after all of this blew over? Because All Of That Happened. I'm kicking myself for not copying any of the links of Fields doing this (the _first time_ after week 7 of '22. I can find links to him doing it again after week 2 of '23). Even if you think _that_ proves nothing, what about the 1st 23 minutes of th-cam.com/video/FiiK21VzI_o/w-d-xo.html? You know a thing or two about good o-line play. Is it my imagination, or are the Bears running Right Past pass-rushers consistently on plays where no one stays in the backfield with him? Almost as if the abandonment was choreographed. & since no receivers stop & turn around to see any passes thrown, who tf is that play that sends all blockers away supposed to confuse _except_ the QB? Everything else likely *is* a series of inept people making inept decisions resulting in a lot of chance happenings, mistakes as well as some good fortune. But something is a little off when an owner, HC & the GM who hired him *all respond to their QB's public cry for help with silence.* Something is _really_ off about that. If Bellichick had responded to the Mac Jones fiasco with silence, we'd all *know* Jones was on the way out, right? So why is this silence any different? How was the Entire Bears Staff refusing to even address their QB's publicly-expressed concerns not also a sign that they were done with him? Because why are we dismissing this? If people Actually Think Fields sucks & was trying to deflect, why don't _they_ mention this? Because they know that isn't what's going on here. This silence means too much. If I'm the HC & it's my job t win with this QB & I'm not the coach confusing him, I publicly reprimand him just to save my rep as him airing this out publicly makes me look inept. But they didn't even do that. If I'm the GM & he's actually good & I trade him for less than I could have gotten for the #1 pick, miss out on MHJR, my Entire Career can be haunted by this & I could have prevented it by seeking the saboteur coach. & yet Poles did & said nothing. How is it we are accepting mutually exclusive things here? That Fields was so bad that all of this is okay, yet that the Bears always put him in games unless he was injured, yet called plays or sat back & did nothing while their own o-line undermined him? Why did most people see all this & pretend not to see it unless their own narrative that Fields indeed sucks is one they themselves don't believe?
Yeah, or the Cleveland Browns are the most cursed. Even when quite a few of those "Browns" won the Super Bowl, they did so only after becoming the Baltimore Ravens.
Hey man, really appreciate your vids. I'm British and only got into the NFL in the last few years. There's virtually nothing on it in this country, so you, Bootleg Football and Tom Grossi have been my intro to this great sport. Which is a long way of saying whatever i now know about NFL history is basically from you. No pressure!
Check out a football life you can learn pretty much everything about every team and every era and you’ll enjoy learning it all they are great watches with great info the one video on the raiders owner Is enough to learn the raiders whole history up till the 2000s and it’s only like an hour
Bears in 1970: I don't think we need this Mike Phipps guy, let's just trade our pick for a bucket of balls instead Bears in 1977: Hey let's trade for this Mike Phipps guy that has done nothing but justify our decision to pass on him seven years ago. Draft picks down the toilet you go.
What makes that 1985 win over the rams even more impressive is that Dickerson had just run for the most yards ever in a playoff game against the cowboys
One of my favorite fun facts about the 85 Bears is that when they were performing the Super Bowl Shuffle and filming the music video, their LB and future Panthers HC Ron Rivera was asleep.
There's even one extra injury that I thought for sure would be mentioned with the curse: in 2018, Trubisky took a late hit in the Week 11 Vikings game on a QB slide. Before this, he was actually pretty bold in running the ball, the Patriots game that year he was especially risky with going for extra yards and jukes instead of safely going out of bounds. After the shoulder injury though, Trubisky seemed a lot more scared to run. There were multiple instances later in 2018 where you could tell he would slide super early or run a lot more horizontally, failing to convert first downs or just not getting the big plays he could occasionally run for before. It's like that injury made him too nervous, whereas before he had a kind of Daniel Jones vibe to him as a runner.
You and your videos just entertain me man. I can go back and watch em a few times and wouldn’t be bored. Keep being you bro and keep the game growing bc you’re pushing the bar!! Thank you
Remember in your patriots video when that guy commented “watching this will put me through the 5 stages of grief” as a 14 year old bears fan who has never seen us win a playoff game, imma bout to go through the 7 stages of grief 💀
Hey, at least you didn’t have to watch Caleb Hanie play in the conference championship back in the 2010 season lol, it was such a sad end to that season and to the Packers nonetheless
24 years it's almost worse. You can win playoff games but when you lose them in the worst fashion(Cody parkey, NFC champ vs Rodgers, super bowl) it's almost worse
just discovered you channel, at first i thought you didn't use enough footage (i know copyright but you can work around it with some tricks). but your passion for football is apparent. i am european and got into football the season before mahomes was drafted (dude made me a hardcore football fan). and you have the best docs and you are a real student of the game. i have been binging for 2 days and almost know everything about the NFL. Keep it up my man your passion is contagious
I'm a Bears fan from Chicago, old enough to remember that muddy runback Sayers made that you had to blur. Points: 1. I saw the Miami game on TV, of course. Howard Cosell ripped on the Bears. Cosell voice: This is what happens when a team makes music videos instead of practicing football... 2. I went to Univ. of Arkansas because we'd moved to the Ozarks (that show is correct, lotta Chicago folk down there). Dan Hampton was a Razorback. He lived in the married dorms, not the athletic, being married and all. I had a friend there who knew Hampton. Sweetness might not have been excited to be a Monster of the Midway, but Big Dan was. Apparently on draft night he was roaring around the married dorm, with a handle of Jack Daniels in each hand, pouring shots for everyone yelling, "I'M GOIN TO THE BEARS! I'M GOIN TO THE BEARS!!" 3. That was Payton's touchdown. He'd carried that f'n team on his back for years, that play was a TD lock, it belonged to Walter Payton. And Ditka put in Fridge for, as you say, the memes. And the touchdown that was rightly Sweetness' fucking touchdown that he'd earned. I didn't learn about Payton's reaction til years later, but I ended that Super Bowl pissed off too. That's Ditka. He don't give a fuck about you. Fuck. Mike. Ditka. 4. (edit) Please God make them sell that team. McCaskeys are a curse. Please God, I don't ask for much. Fuck Mike Ditka.
Yesss as a Bears fan, i have been waiting for this video. I have no idea why i like this team, but i guess it will make it that much sweeter when they do finally end up being good. Thank you for making this.
That NFC era with the 80's Bears was brutal. You had 4 NFC teams beating the hell out of everyone and each other to get to the Super Bowl. If you had any flaws, you couldn't get past them. If you suddenly had a new flaw and you were one of the 4, it was a clincher for the other 3.
I'm less impressed that you made this documentary and more impressed that it was significantly under 2 hours. Now the _Cardinals_ one, that would tax the limits of what TH-cam will let you upload.
If the Bears stopped focusing SOLELY on the Defense and Rushing Game and actually cared enough to build up their QB's, they could've easily had as many Super Bowls as the Packers probrably
Yup it’s been the Bears old ways since the very start. My Grandpa, Father, and now me have been complaining since. Please. Fix. The QB. Finally we can rejoice with Caleb 🐻
One of Brazil ESPN commentators that i follow on social media is a Bears fan and oftenly refers to some of the things you talked about in the video. Now i understand his pain lmao. Great video, keep it up!
Man i love this guys long videos. Listen to them at work. I’d love a video about the buccaneers. 0-26 to NFC championship in 3 years and with instant replay would’ve won that game. Followed by an abysmal decade in a half. Building a top 5 defense all time. Bert Emmanuel rule. 02 finally beating the eagles in their first cold game win ever. Then gruden gutting that roster. Another 15 years of pain. Mr 30:30 Jameis leading to Brady. And now baker somehow stepping into Brady’s shoes and having a better season than Brady’s final. I think tubfrog could make a great video on this
This channel is awesome I found it like 2 years ago when I wanted to see if anyone made a video called “I watched every Super Bowl”. And this lunatic did😂
This video obviously involved a lot of work. Very very nice! I must say, it might seem hokey now, but the “Super Bowl Shuffle” music video was my introduction to the NFL. It should be noted that I was in Lagos, Nigeria when I saw it (and where probably fewer than a hundred people knew about the NFL and even fewer cared about the sport). It might seem strange now, but I was absolutely captivated by the song! I moved to Philadelphia 30 years ago and I’m an Eagles fan now. I remember the missed FG (sorry 😅) and NO ONE deserves Mike Glennon at QB (although I’m sure he’s a nice guy in person).
McMahon w/his injuries is a quiet "What-if" story. 46-15 as CHI starter (.754), 3rd highest win pct playing for 1 team in NFL history behind NE Brady .774 and KC Mahomes .771 (min 60 starts).
Payton's '77 season is the best ever by an RB. He scored 55% of the Bear's offensive TD's, while rushing for 1800 yards behind an offensive line that didn't have a single guy who made a pro bowl their entire career.
I'm glad someone is doing some detective work on this club, because I've had to live all of this since 1998 when I accepted the Chicago Bears into my heart as lord and tormentor. I think you make a good point about naming the uncanny and untimely QB injuries in our history as the Johnny Lujack Curse. It seems like no club has been halted more by the shitbrew of QB injuries and questionable personnel decisions as the Bears have.
Bro... now we need a 2 hour video of you taping up beautiful Brady posters. And I can't believe this man only has 100k Subs. Let's get this man more, asap. Ditka's best appearance after football was the movie Kicking and Screaming... change my mind 😅
1:36:14 This is the best throw Mitchell Trubisky has ever made in his career. 40 seconds left, down by 1 in the playoffs, Mitch finds AR while getting absolutely deleted by Chris Long. It was hopefully a sign of something to come… Im still not over it
I'm a lifelong bears fan, 48 yrs old and this is amazing, you should have given props to my man Curtis fn Conway though, a straight bad dude, great video as always
Wow, I’m impressed. Great video taking us through the Bears history. You are an excellent story teller and do damn good research. I thoroughly enjoyed this trip down Bears memory lane. In their division I feel it’s the Lions turn now but who knows, the Bears could throw a monkey wrench in their journey…wait…what…week 9 the Bears lost 19-3 to the Patriots…the frickin’ Patriots who had only won 2 games…the Bears with 4 wins and 5 losses are last in their division. Maybe next year Bears fans, maybe next year with QB Caleb Williams. Please don’t waste him or break him. I really like the young man. Great job Tubby.
When Michael McCaskey first took over the Bears you never saw or heard him. Of course it was 1985 and he had absolutely nothing to do with the creation of the team winning the Superbowl, so why interview him? The Bears win and the Lombardi trophy is presented to him and they could hardly pry his hands off the trophy to get a photo of Payton or Ditka with it. During the celebration parade Michael never let go of the trophy somehow HE earned it. Compare that to Jerry Reinsdorf (not a great owner but compared to the McCaskey's...) and the Bulls championships. Jerry would be presented the trophy have a picture taken then toss it to the players for the celebration. Jerry was like "Here guys you earned this have fun....oh just remember to have it back on my desk after the parade."
Never ever say Reinsdorf is a better owner than the mccaskeys. He extorted the city twice for a stadium, uses the Bulls to fund the white sox (who just went on an historic losing streak) and is the PRIMARY reason the Bulls dynasty ended early because he didn't have the guts to talk krause down, intervene in any way or just fire Krause. What Reinsdorf did would have been analogous to McCaskey allowing the GM to alienate Ditka, attempt to trade and alienate Singletary and turn Payton on the franchise. We lost Jordan, Jackson and Pippen all because Reinsdorf is spineless or didn't care. McCaskey is terrible but at least he gave the 80s bears a chance. His decisions in the 90s and his son have messed things up but Reinsdorf is and will always be the worst owner in chicago sports history which is saying something with Dollar Bill Wuertz and the McCaskeys.
As a lifelong Cleveland Browns fan, I am INSULTED that you did this. We in Cleveland don't have alot, but what we do have, is a LOCK on the WORST FRANCHISE IN THE NFL!!! Do better!
😂😂😂 as a Bears fan, i don't think dude tried to paint us as the worst franchise in the league. I mean, Caleb Williams was our third 1st overall pick. And technically that was Carolina's pick. So, in over 100 years, the Bears have only been the absolute worst team in the league twice. But Bears' QBs are definitely cursed...
How can the Browns be worse than the Cardinals? The Cardinals have not Won an NFL Championship since they were the Chicago Cardinals, winning back in 1925 and 1947. The Cards lost the Championship game in 1948 and the Super Bowl in 2008. While the Browns Won it all in their AAFC League in 1946, 1947,1948, and 1949. Then the Browns Won it all in the NFL in 1950, 1954, 1955 and 1964. The Browns have also played in the NFL Championship game 13 times, including 6 times in a row in the 1950’s. Feel better now : )
I mean the bears have spent the last 80 years doing everything they possibly can to find a franchise QB. While building some of the Greatest defenses of all time to waste as they miss some of the most talented players at the Qb position ever in the draft. Like Manning, and Mahomes.
@@DevinEMILE absolutely. Thing about it is, though, in 1998 the Bears drafted 5th overall. Manning was drafted first. They had no chance at getting him, save a tank (and we all know the Bears never tank 😂😂). The Mahomes-Trubisky blunder... 🤦♂️ Really though, a lot of teams thought Mahomes was a big gamble/project. A lot of scouts questioned his ability to translate his game to the NFL. Josh Lucas was the player personnel executive for the Bears that year; he questioned Mahomes "nervous energy" during player interviews and thought that he may lack the poise and swagger needed to be QB1 in Chicago. I still chalk it up to the position being cursed in Chicago. 🤷♂️
The first game of the 2024 season made it appear that the 70 year curse hasn't ended yet. But the Cubs reversed their curse. Maybe the Bears should seek their advice.
This is why Ravens vs Steelers is the best rivalry and not Packers vs Bears like some might argue. Steelers and Ravens are two elite teams battling it out, while Packers vs Bears is a great team beating up on a clown show. 🤣
You realize that it took 30 years of the Packers winning like 80% of the matchups just to catch up....and they just barely caught up. The Ravens and Steelers is also a joke since the Ravens are 25 years old. Had they remained the original browns you might have had something. You can pick just about any number of NFC east rivalries or the Niners vs Cowboys to find better ones. Also LMAO calling the steelers in any way elite the past decade.
Great as usual, congrats! However there is a bunch of the replay highlights like the Devin Hester run back in the 2006 super bowl which shows just a blob and you can't see anything.
The selection of Caleb Williams marks the 9th time in their franchise history that the Bears have spent a top-10 draft pick on a quarterback. Here are the other 8. Sid Luckman (2nd overall, 1939): pretty clearly not only the best quarterback available to the Bears, but far and away the best player in his draft class. The future Hall of Famer, the only one at _any_ position in the 1939 draft class, would make as many All-Pro 1st teams as the rest of the class combined (5). Grade: A+ Frankie Albert (10th overall, 1942): a solid signal caller for 7 seasons, the class of the 1942 quarterback cohort, as his well over 10,000 passing yards and 115 career TDs far exceed the next three best QBs from the class combined. Only one problem: he spent his entire career in San Francisco, which is pretty far from Chicago. Grade: B+ Ray Evans (9th overall, 1944): officially a "tailback" like Slingin' Sammy Baugh as positional definitions continued to develop, Evans played 9 career NFL games, all with the Steelers, amassing fewer than 1,000 career passing yards and only 5 TDs, and was selected 33 spots ahead of Hall of Famer Bob Waterfield. The Boston Yanks wasting their #1 overall pick on Angelo Bertelli does _not_ make this Bears pick look better by comparison. Grade: F Johnny Lujack (4th overall, 1946): despite a career plagued with and shortened by injuries, his passing numbers actually exceed the entire rest of the 1946 class combined, including 1st overall pick Boley Dancewicz, and he was even able to put in 21 scores on the ground in his protracted tenure, tied for 3rd among all players in the 1946 draft class. Grade: A- Bobby Layne (3rd overall, 1948): a very interesting selection-although he ended up in the Hall of Fame alongside 6th overall pick Y.A. Tittle, Tittle's career numbers were slightly better. Layne ended up with the Lions, who'd drafted Tittle but never locked down his services, after one season apiece with the Bears and New York Bulldogs. Grade: B- Bob Williams (2nd overall, 1951): believe it or not, also drafted ahead of Hall of Famer Y.A. Tittle, this time taken by the 49ers with the subsequent pick. Williams would spend parts of only 3 seasons in the NFL, all with the Bears, and combined to throw fewer than 1,000 yards and only 10 TDs across his 29 career games. Grade: D- Jim McMahon (5th overall, 1982): like Lujack, played an injury-marred career, but made the most of it, eclipsing the passing yardage and TDs of the remainder of the 1982 class combined (in stark contrast to the following year's class, which featured Hall of Famers Dan Marino and Jim Kelly), while also leading the Bears to their first Super Bowl appearance and only Lombardi trophy. Grade: A Mitchell Trubisky (2nd overall, 2017): picked ahead of Patrick Mahomes (10th) and Deshaun Watson (12th) yet markedly worse than both, and despite a good first full season that saw the Bears win the NFC North, his career as a _backup_ is barely hanging on just 7 years later while Mahomes and Watson retain lucrative starting jobs. Grade: D

I had no idea the Bears of Chicago were originally the Staleys of “Deka-tar.” That one’s going to make me chuckle for a while.
Dee-cay-tur. Central Illinois pronounced some city names strangely (like Marseilles or Monticello), but Dekka-tor is a new one.

As if I, a patriots fan, don’t deserve pain after 20 years of league destruction.
I've been a bears fan for forty years, and I wish I could tell you it gets better! That would be nice. So just pretend I did say that.
24 years it's almost worse. You can win playoff games but when you lose them in the worst fashion(Cody parkey, NFC champ vs Rodgers, super bowl) it's almost worse
bro as a 24 year old bears fan you ain’t even seen rock bottom yet
just discovered you channel, at first i thought you didn't use enough footage (i know copyright but you can work around it with some tricks). but your passion for football is apparent. i am european and got into football the season before mahomes was drafted (dude made me a hardcore football fan). and you have the best docs and you are a real student of the game. i have been binging for 2 days and almost know everything about the NFL. Keep it up my man your passion is contagious
I knew this would hurt. I really did, but wow. You managed to hurt me even more than I thought possible.
I'm a Bears fan from Chicago, old enough to remember that muddy runback Sayers made that you had to blur. Points:
1. I saw the Miami game on TV, of course. Howard Cosell ripped on the Bears. Cosell voice: This is what happens when a team makes music videos instead of practicing football...
2. I went to Univ. of Arkansas because we'd moved to the Ozarks (that show is correct, lotta Chicago folk down there). Dan Hampton was a Razorback. He lived in the married dorms, not the athletic, being married and all. I had a friend there who knew Hampton. Sweetness might not have been excited to be a Monster of the Midway, but Big Dan was. Apparently on draft night he was roaring around the married dorm, with a handle of Jack Daniels in each hand, pouring shots for everyone yelling, "I'M GOIN TO THE BEARS! I'M GOIN TO THE BEARS!!"
3. That was Payton's touchdown. He'd carried that f'n team on his back for years, that play was a TD lock, it belonged to Walter Payton. And Ditka put in Fridge for, as you say, the memes. And the touchdown that was rightly Sweetness' fucking touchdown that he'd earned. I didn't learn about Payton's reaction til years later, but I ended that Super Bowl pissed off too.
That's Ditka. He don't give a fuck about you. Fuck. Mike. Ditka.
4. (edit) Please God make them sell that team. McCaskeys are a curse. Please God, I don't ask for much. Fuck Mike Ditka.
Love seeing my Bears get some love but the pronunciation of "Decatur" 😭😭
Love your work besides that LOL
Yesss as a Bears fan, i have been waiting for this video. I have no idea why i like this team, but i guess it will make it that much sweeter when they do finally end up being good. Thank you for making this.
That NFC era with the 80's Bears was brutal. You had 4 NFC teams beating the hell out of everyone and each other to get to the Super Bowl. If you had any flaws, you couldn't get past them. If you suddenly had a new flaw and you were one of the 4, it was a clincher for the other 3.
NFC north especially was bad.
I’ll never pronounce Decatur right again
“De-kuh-tar” sounds so much cooler than “Dee-kay-tur”
Literally couldn’t even make it 90 secs in😭
As a niner fan living in Chicago…I’m also calling it De-kuh- tar forever
Say it with the Optimus Prime voice.
I'm less impressed that you made this documentary and more impressed that it was significantly under 2 hours. Now the _Cardinals_ one, that would tax the limits of what TH-cam will let you upload.
If the Bears stopped focusing SOLELY on the Defense and Rushing Game and actually cared enough to build up their QB's, they could've easily had as many Super Bowls as the Packers probrably
Yup it’s been the Bears old ways since the very start. My Grandpa, Father, and now me have been complaining since. Please. Fix. The QB. Finally we can rejoice with Caleb 🐻
@@L7890p You're banking on Williams? Y'know what....good luck. I mean it, because I'm afraid the hype alone is gonna kill that kid.
@@DerricsRevenge yea yea what ever GRAMPS
@@L7890pcalling someone a “gramps” when all yours did was pass down being a fan of a shitty team is crazy work
@@TheQuestionsssssssss lmao giants fan, you’ll never get lucky again better kiss Eli Manning on the lips if you ever see him
I love your long videos! Never stop making them. I’d love to see one about the history of my eagles.
Super fun video to watch. Thanks Frog!
Great video. You put a lot of work into this and it’s appreciated.👍
Honestly, you kick ass tubfrog. Amazing docs bro. You watch and understand football. It makes me WET
Wanted to say I love your videos! They are very well edited and very funny and interesting! So comment for the Algorithm
Congrats on hitting 100k! You deserve it!
The perfectly timed audio cuts in these leave me DYING 😂
You can probably make a whole series of just Chicago sports teams being iconic for a decade and then being terrible for the next 30 years.
The most consistent NFL TH-camr always coming in clutch with great videos
Bill Cosby talking about Gale Sayers being an amoeba splitting into two will always be funny to me
you actually my fav youtuber rn i caught myself checking for this vid daily
One of Brazil ESPN commentators that i follow on social media is a Bears fan and oftenly refers to some of the things you talked about in the video. Now i understand his pain lmao. Great video, keep it up!
Great job. You really nailed it.
I just know this about to be a banger video
Another kick-@$$ video. Entertaining and informative. Much thanks for all yer hard work.
Man i love this guys long videos. Listen to them at work. I’d love a video about the buccaneers. 0-26 to NFC championship in 3 years and with instant replay would’ve won that game. Followed by an abysmal decade in a half. Building a top 5 defense all time. Bert Emmanuel rule. 02 finally beating the eagles in their first cold game win ever. Then gruden gutting that roster. Another 15 years of pain. Mr 30:30 Jameis leading to Brady. And now baker somehow stepping into Brady’s shoes and having a better season than Brady’s final. I think tubfrog could make a great video on this
46:13 - 46:46 That was hilarious.
We need a Dolphins playoff misery video, or another deep dive on them. Anything Dolphin related would be amazing
This channel is awesome
I found it like 2 years ago when I wanted to see if anyone made a video called “I watched every Super Bowl”. And this lunatic did😂
Congrats on 100k subs
1:20 Where exactly is Deck-A-Tar? I love this video, it helps reduce the agony of being a cursed Bears Fan. :)
Great video. Informative and humorous.
Love the vids keep it up
I love watching these and seeing the quality of the games slowly get better through the years
This video obviously involved a lot of work. Very very nice!
I must say, it might seem hokey now, but the “Super Bowl Shuffle” music video was my introduction to the NFL. It should be noted that I was in Lagos, Nigeria when I saw it (and where probably fewer than a hundred people knew about the NFL and even fewer cared about the sport). It might seem strange now, but I was absolutely captivated by the song! I moved to Philadelphia 30 years ago and I’m an Eagles fan now. I remember the missed FG (sorry 😅) and NO ONE deserves Mike Glennon at QB (although I’m sure he’s a nice guy in person).
Nice video. Keep up the great work...
Great work!
Ima about to cry you actually did it. This is why your the best nfl TH-camr frfr.
Damn I literally started the Patriots recap and as I finish it this one drops. Bravo TubFrog. Bravo.
McMahon w/his injuries is a quiet "What-if" story. 46-15 as CHI starter (.754), 3rd highest win pct playing for 1 team in NFL history behind NE Brady .774 and KC Mahomes .771 (min 60 starts).
having half of these old highlights being blurred is such a buzzkill, it's a huge reason I enjoy watching videos about NFL history 😭
I love when this guy posts vids
Payton's '77 season is the best ever by an RB. He scored 55% of the Bear's offensive TD's, while rushing for 1800 yards behind an offensive line that didn't have a single guy who made a pro bowl their entire career.
I'm glad someone is doing some detective work on this club, because I've had to live all of this since 1998 when I accepted the Chicago Bears into my heart as lord and tormentor. I think you make a good point about naming the uncanny and untimely QB injuries in our history as the Johnny Lujack Curse. It seems like no club has been halted more by the shitbrew of QB injuries and questionable personnel decisions as the Bears have.
Can we get "Okay, so" merch? Its basically your catchphrase
Hell yes. Never wanted to hear someone say “okay, so..” more in my life 😂
Bro... now we need a 2 hour video of you taping up beautiful Brady posters. And I can't believe this man only has 100k Subs. Let's get this man more, asap. Ditka's best appearance after football was the movie Kicking and Screaming... change my mind 😅
1:36:14 This is the best throw Mitchell Trubisky has ever made in his career. 40 seconds left, down by 1 in the playoffs, Mitch finds AR while getting absolutely deleted by Chris Long. It was hopefully a sign of something to come…
Im still not over it
Thanks for this. I asked for a bears video months ago and you delivered
Legend
You have mastered long video content: never once did it feel like it was dragging.
Have to say if anything i got a good bunch of laughs out of this.. you are good my man at telling our heart breaks as bear fans!!!
That was painful I've repressed so many of those memories so great video but you completely ruined my day
I'm a lifelong bears fan, 48 yrs old and this is amazing, you should have given props to my man Curtis fn Conway though, a straight bad dude, great video as always
94 we had a nice year and 2000 was frkn awesome.
Wow, I’m impressed. Great video taking us through the Bears history. You are an excellent story teller and do damn good research. I thoroughly enjoyed this trip down Bears memory lane. In their division I feel it’s the Lions turn now but who knows, the Bears could throw a monkey wrench in their journey…wait…what…week 9 the Bears lost 19-3 to the Patriots…the frickin’ Patriots who had only won 2 games…the Bears with 4 wins and 5 losses are last in their division. Maybe next year Bears fans, maybe next year with QB Caleb Williams. Please don’t waste him or break him. I really like the young man. Great job Tubby.
They're not cursed, they just have inept ownership. Make no mistake, no matter who's the GM or coach, the McCaskeys call all the shots
Great video!! Please do the saints next we was a terrible franchise then. Became a great one but only managed 1 Super Bowl
Tub Frog knows when to drop that heat to listen to on Monday morning 🔥 🐸
When Michael McCaskey first took over the Bears you never saw or heard him. Of course it was 1985 and he had absolutely nothing to do with the creation of the team winning the Superbowl, so why interview him? The Bears win and the Lombardi trophy is presented to him and they could hardly pry his hands off the trophy to get a photo of Payton or Ditka with it. During the celebration parade Michael never let go of the trophy somehow HE earned it.
Compare that to Jerry Reinsdorf (not a great owner but compared to the McCaskey's...) and the Bulls championships. Jerry would be presented the trophy have a picture taken then toss it to the players for the celebration. Jerry was like "Here guys you earned this have fun....oh just remember to have it back on my desk after the parade."
Never ever say Reinsdorf is a better owner than the mccaskeys. He extorted the city twice for a stadium, uses the Bulls to fund the white sox (who just went on an historic losing streak) and is the PRIMARY reason the Bulls dynasty ended early because he didn't have the guts to talk krause down, intervene in any way or just fire Krause.
What Reinsdorf did would have been analogous to McCaskey allowing the GM to alienate Ditka, attempt to trade and alienate Singletary and turn Payton on the franchise. We lost Jordan, Jackson and Pippen all because Reinsdorf is spineless or didn't care. McCaskey is terrible but at least he gave the 80s bears a chance. His decisions in the 90s and his son have messed things up but Reinsdorf is and will always be the worst owner in chicago sports history which is saying something with Dollar Bill Wuertz and the McCaskeys.
I'm already excited for Fall to start so Football can. And see TubFrog videos over it.
But then comes winter
As a lifelong Cleveland Browns fan, I am INSULTED that you did this. We in Cleveland don't have alot, but what we do have, is a LOCK on the WORST FRANCHISE IN THE NFL!!! Do better!
😂😂😂 as a Bears fan, i don't think dude tried to paint us as the worst franchise in the league. I mean, Caleb Williams was our third 1st overall pick. And technically that was Carolina's pick. So, in over 100 years, the Bears have only been the absolute worst team in the league twice. But Bears' QBs are definitely cursed...
How can the Browns be worse than the Cardinals? The Cardinals have not Won an NFL Championship since they were the Chicago Cardinals, winning back in 1925 and 1947. The Cards lost the Championship game in 1948 and the Super Bowl in 2008.
While the Browns Won it all in their AAFC League in 1946, 1947,1948, and 1949. Then the Browns Won it all in the NFL in 1950, 1954, 1955 and 1964. The Browns have also played in the NFL Championship game 13 times, including 6 times in a row in the 1950’s.
Feel better now : )
I can trump all of you guys. Two words: Detroit Lions.
I mean the bears have spent the last 80 years doing everything they possibly can to find a franchise QB. While building some of the Greatest defenses of all time to waste as they miss some of the most talented players at the Qb position ever in the draft. Like Manning, and Mahomes.
@@DevinEMILE absolutely. Thing about it is, though, in 1998 the Bears drafted 5th overall. Manning was drafted first. They had no chance at getting him, save a tank (and we all know the Bears never tank 😂😂). The Mahomes-Trubisky blunder... 🤦♂️ Really though, a lot of teams thought Mahomes was a big gamble/project. A lot of scouts questioned his ability to translate his game to the NFL. Josh Lucas was the player personnel executive for the Bears that year; he questioned Mahomes "nervous energy" during player interviews and thought that he may lack the poise and swagger needed to be QB1 in Chicago.
I still chalk it up to the position being cursed in Chicago. 🤷♂️
The first game of the 2024 season made it appear that the 70 year curse hasn't ended yet. But the Cubs reversed their curse. Maybe the Bears should seek their advice.
26:54 - this was the beginning of the worst segment of bears history we’re currently still in
This was a great, well edited, and produced video👏. Gotta get a similar type of video for washington 🙏
This is why Ravens vs Steelers is the best rivalry and not Packers vs Bears like some might argue. Steelers and Ravens are two elite teams battling it out, while Packers vs Bears is a great team beating up on a clown show. 🤣
Packers vs Bears isn’t a rivalry, it’s an ownership 😂
McDonald's v Burger King and Samsung v Apple are my favorite rivalries.
ravens haven't been around long enought tho, from a modern standpoint, yeah, but from an overview of the entire history of the nfl? nah
It's also cultural and history you have to factor in.
You realize that it took 30 years of the Packers winning like 80% of the matchups just to catch up....and they just barely caught up.
The Ravens and Steelers is also a joke since the Ravens are 25 years old. Had they remained the original browns you might have had something. You can pick just about any number of NFC east rivalries or the Niners vs Cowboys to find better ones.
Also LMAO calling the steelers in any way elite the past decade.
Great as usual, congrats! However there is a bunch of the replay highlights like the Devin Hester run back in the 2006 super bowl which shows just a blob and you can't see anything.
2 Hours of Tubfrog, we’re all here for it
As a Bears fan, thank you for making such a well documented and detailed video ❤
Your channel is great my man. Bravo to a great video
When you're nearly on hour late and you are okay with that because you know nobody is even half way through it yet
This was so good but sooo painful. Great work. I hate being a bears fan. CALEB WILL BE THE GOAT!
@tubfrog2 awesome! What did I win?
The selection of Caleb Williams marks the 9th time in their franchise history that the Bears have spent a top-10 draft pick on a quarterback. Here are the other 8.
Sid Luckman (2nd overall, 1939): pretty clearly not only the best quarterback available to the Bears, but far and away the best player in his draft class. The future Hall of Famer, the only one at _any_ position in the 1939 draft class, would make as many All-Pro 1st teams as the rest of the class combined (5). Grade: A+
Frankie Albert (10th overall, 1942): a solid signal caller for 7 seasons, the class of the 1942 quarterback cohort, as his well over 10,000 passing yards and 115 career TDs far exceed the next three best QBs from the class combined. Only one problem: he spent his entire career in San Francisco, which is pretty far from Chicago. Grade: B+
Ray Evans (9th overall, 1944): officially a "tailback" like Slingin' Sammy Baugh as positional definitions continued to develop, Evans played 9 career NFL games, all with the Steelers, amassing fewer than 1,000 career passing yards and only 5 TDs, and was selected 33 spots ahead of Hall of Famer Bob Waterfield. The Boston Yanks wasting their #1 overall pick on Angelo Bertelli does _not_ make this Bears pick look better by comparison. Grade: F
Johnny Lujack (4th overall, 1946): despite a career plagued with and shortened by injuries, his passing numbers actually exceed the entire rest of the 1946 class combined, including 1st overall pick Boley Dancewicz, and he was even able to put in 21 scores on the ground in his protracted tenure, tied for 3rd among all players in the 1946 draft class. Grade: A-
Bobby Layne (3rd overall, 1948): a very interesting selection-although he ended up in the Hall of Fame alongside 6th overall pick Y.A. Tittle, Tittle's career numbers were slightly better. Layne ended up with the Lions, who'd drafted Tittle but never locked down his services, after one season apiece with the Bears and New York Bulldogs. Grade: B-
Bob Williams (2nd overall, 1951): believe it or not, also drafted ahead of Hall of Famer Y.A. Tittle, this time taken by the 49ers with the subsequent pick. Williams would spend parts of only 3 seasons in the NFL, all with the Bears, and combined to throw fewer than 1,000 yards and only 10 TDs across his 29 career games. Grade: D-
Jim McMahon (5th overall, 1982): like Lujack, played an injury-marred career, but made the most of it, eclipsing the passing yardage and TDs of the remainder of the 1982 class combined (in stark contrast to the following year's class, which featured Hall of Famers Dan Marino and Jim Kelly), while also leading the Bears to their first Super Bowl appearance and only Lombardi trophy. Grade: A
Mitchell Trubisky (2nd overall, 2017): picked ahead of Patrick Mahomes (10th) and Deshaun Watson (12th) yet markedly worse than both, and despite a good first full season that saw the Bears win the NFC North, his career as a _backup_ is barely hanging on just 7 years later while Mahomes and Watson retain lucrative starting jobs. Grade: D
Jordan howard was special, he kinda got me into football😂 competing with elliot as the nfl leading rusher as a late drafted rookie was insane
a team that won the super bowl is more cursed than the browns and lions apparently
yeah, apparently
A Bucs video sometime would be sick! Keep up the great content
Awesome job on the video
As a hungarian Im proud that a hugely respected man in the NFL has strong hungarian roots. Halas is a legend. Thats party what made me a Bears fan🇭🇺🐻
Can’t wait for a bengals one ! The infamous 80s Super Bowls against Montana and the niners, the terrible 90s
very well done. thank you
