Just brittle.
Of course, one of his serious injuries happened when that thug Forrest Gregg had Charles Martin commit assault & battery on national TV.
But, he had very good stats in the 80s when he was healthy, and read defenses better and faster than any Bears QB in my lifetime. And, I went to my first Bears game in 1963!!! (With my dad, of course. I was only 7)
Other than Jimmy Mac, I agree with you.
Chicago is where quarterbacks come to die.
