Brian Urlacher Begs The Bears To Do The Unthinkable

Last week Brian Urlacher professed that he believed the Chicago Bears finally have themselves a quarterback. He was impressed with the rookie after the narrow loss to Minnesota and continued to show his love on Twitter after the Bears knocked off the Ravens in Baltimore. A game in which Trubisky threw the critical pass that set up the winning field goal. Urlacher may not be a QB specialist but he's a future Hall of Fame linebacker. He knows what great ones look like from having to play against them his entire career. One thing he may not have a firm grasp on is what a great head coach looks like. Don't forget this man spent the majority of his career under Dick Jauron and Lovie Smith. Smith was a solid coach but nobody would call him top of the line. He took a good roster to the Super Bowl in 2006 and gave the Bears their best run of success since the 1980s. That doesn't mean he didn't have flaws. To Urlacher though he was one of the best. This might explain his somewhat baffling statement regarding the current Bears head man. (continue to next page)

Brian Urlacher thinks the Bears must give John Fox a couple more years

John Fox is not on the best of terms with Bears fans lately. They've grown tired of the sloppy, undisciplined play his teams continue to put out every single week. He likes to talk about how the team could easily be 4-2 if not for unfortunate mistakes. Well that goes both ways. They also could be 0-6 because of some huge blunders in their two victories. Yet that didn't stop Urlacher, who is a fan of Fox, from saying the team has to give him a couple more years. The reason being it will take time for Trubisky to absorb the current offensive system. Stability is critical for a young quarterback in his mind.

A number of notable quarterbacks saw a lot of changes early in their careers and still ended up finding success. Aaron Rodgers was drafted in 2005 under head coach Mike Sherman. A year later Sherman was fired and replaced with Mike McCarthy. From 2005 to 2012 Alex Smith had six different offensive coordinators and three different head coaches. Then he was traded to the Chiefs in 2013 under Andy Reid and he went to the Pro Bowl. The point being that while his heart may be in the right place, it doesn't mean his opinion is foolproof. Don't forget that the moment Fox left Denver in 2015 they won the Super Bowl. Maybe, just maybe the Bears can do better.
