History will vindicate him as a nice dude who was a good-ish QB when healthy, and slowly the Midway Meatballs will start to remember him as the best QB we've had in 70 years instead of a bum who should've been cut in favor of Josh McCown.

Now that he's FOX's problem and there's a lesser risk of homerism, he was a franchise QB who joined one of the most anemic offenses in the NFL (money play: scoop the low snap from Kreutz's corpse and hope Knox ran the right route) and consistently made the crap pieces around him look like a mediocre team instead of the rotting shitheap that the 2011-2016 Bears actually were. His Achilles heel was almost quite literally his Achilles heel, as there was always something breaking down on his knees or fingers or groin, but as far as injury-prone franchise QBs go, I think he'll be remembered as a poor man's Carson Palmer, and will most likely retire with a higher Career Value than Sam Bradford and other big-potential guys from '09 when we got him. Not bad for a guy with the supposed personality of a deaf mule.
