Chicago Bears: 5 Reasons Nobody Believes In Them
By Erik Lambert
The secondary didn’t change
When a group of corners and safeties that managed to produce a total of four interceptions in a full season, it’s little wonder people have sincere doubts about a secondary. Especially when it hasn’t changed at all. Kyle Fuller, Tracy Porter, Adrian Amos and Harold Jones-Quartey were the four starters at the end of 2015 and are the projected starters for 2016. It’s hard to feel confident in a defense being any better when it has defensive backs that can’t force turnovers.
Never mind the fact the Bears had the 4th ranked pass defense in the league last season. Nor that both Amos and Jones-Quartey were rookies while Fuller was in his second year. They’re not inexperienced and should get better with time. Nope. They’re just bad and it’s going to stay that way until they’re replaced. Such is often the knee-jerk reaction to these problems. Chicago may not have star power in this group, but it’s not a pushover either.
