Packers Win!

Caught the question too late or I would have said McMahon. I disagree with your statement about McMahon asked not to lose games. He won a lot of games in spite of the Ditka. For example, the Vikings game in '85 where McMahon came in off the bench to throw a TD to Gault. Ditka sent in a screen pass on the play. McMahon looked up and saw Gault running free. When he got back to the sidelines, Ditka chewed him out. In the first few games of that season the Bear's defensive allowed a lot of points to be scored on them. They had not of won those games had the offensive not stepped up. I can only imagine what might have been if McMahon took conditioning seriously and stayed healthy.

Yeah.. that was an over generalization on my part.. I just don't classify him as a QB who could carry a team on is passing skills.. ala Montana, Favre, Elway, Marino, Manning..et al..

Funny now that I'm thinking about all of this.. in the seemingly never-ending QB drought in Chicago (they had 22 different QBs take snaps during the Favre era alone).. I lived in suburban Chicago in the early 70s ... never forget a Bear QB who nearly got 1000 yards rushing (in a 14 game season)... Bobby Douglass..
