The only starting quarterback to win a Super Bowl for the Bears has made some comments that won’t go over well in Chicago.

Jim McMahon, who started his career in Chicago and ended it in Green Bay, told 1252 Sports that Green Bay was the best franchise he was with in the NFL.

“It was the best team, or the best organization, that I’ve played for of the seven teams I’ve played for,” McMahon said. “By far. From top to bottom it was great people.”

McMahon was the Bears’ first-round draft pick in 1982, won Super Bowl XX with the 1985 Bears, and stayed in Chicago through the 1988 season. He then had stints with the Chargers, Eagles, Vikings, Cardinals and Browns before going to the Packers, where he won a Super Bowl XXXI ring as Brett Favre’s backup. McMahon said the Bears have always emphasized defense and the running game and have never been able to develop a quarterback.

“I think it’s where quarterbacks go to die,” McMahon said.

McMahon isn’t much of a fan these days. Asked what the Bears should do in the draft, he said, “I don’t know, don’t watch them, don’t care. I wouldn’t know what they need or who they’re thinking of drafting.”

He should get some bumper stickers and T-shirts made, stating, "Chicago, home of where NFL QB's go to die" Just ask their last 39 qb's since 1985

The Bears Still Suck!!!😁

Oh....wait......that’s been done already.....😂😂😂🤪

My question to him would be....”then WHY did you wear a BEARS shirt when the Packers went to the White House after SB31???”
Kind of a hypocrite if you ask me. Typical Bears player.

Even knowing about the Bears jersey and the reasoning behind, McMahon's comments came as a surprise to me. Although, I think much is made about it that isn't necessary. The guy just feels the Packers are a better ran organization from top to bottom than the Bears. This feels like old news to me. It also seems strange that so many fans (not anyone here) who believe that to be true, are also the ones complaining the Packers aren't doing enough in free agency, aren't drafting the "right" pieces, etc. It is an interesting
