Message: [QUOTE="Jaydumo20, post: 5280818, member: 9280"] Carl Williams, Caleb's Dad, said that he didn't want his son to go to the Bears because that's where QB's go to die. Not the euphemism id use but there is truth in it. The Bears have not produced or maintained good QB play in the modern era. Despite a high payroll, teams like Mets and Cubs have struggled to produced rings. Even with changes in front office, coaches personnel, etc. Then there's UConn and those like us. 3 different coaches, different AD's, different conferences, but still grabbing titles. Most would say culture is the reason but that term that needs definition. It's a convenient buzz word that makes us feel we have scientifically explained something kind of eerie. Calhoun, Geno, KO and Dan Hurley are very different coaches. They don't follow a secret Coaches Handbook unique to UConn. If it's culture, what kind of force is that? Is there a culture of losing? Winning? Some may say "The Bears culture has always been defense first which explains the lack of QB play" but that would ignore the fact that the Bears have consistently tried to draft or acquire high level quarterbacks with little success. What is in the water? *****Note: this is not a post about the Bears. They are an example. What makes a winner a winner, or a loser a loser over decades and decades. [/QUOTE]
