It's been a question on my mind for a few years now: Where do the Bears rank among NFL franchises in terms of Black starting quarterbacks?

I've spent about a year crunching the numbers. Here are my findings.

A thread. https://readjack.wordpress.com/2020/09/17/the-complete-history-of-black-nfl-starting-quarterbacks-ranked-by-franchise/
The complete history of Black NFL starting quarterbacks — ranked by franchise

This all started last November, when a pair of Bears-related news stories intersected and sent me down a rabbit hole. The first came Nov. 12, when Rich Campbell and Dan Wiederer of the Tribune did …

The question of why the Bears seem to consistently make the wrong choice at quarterback has been alive since at least the 1940s, when Papa Bear brought in two brilliant QBs as heirs to Sid Luckman's throne, and managed to lose both of them within 4 years. https://twitter.com/readjack/status/1196284059657392130
But whether our history with Black quarterbacks was a problem unto itself is a matter of debate among Bears fans. We've had four starters in our 101 seasons: Vince Evans, Henry Burris, Kordell Stewart, Jason Campbell.

I wanted to see what the total numbers said, leaguewide.

My methodology is explained in the story, but I'll note here that this piece would have been impossible without:

🏈 @greghoward88's two-part feature at Deadspin, "The Big Book of Black Quarterbacks"
🏈 The ongoing, exemplary work from @TheUndefeated
🏈 @pfref
🏈 @_newspapers
The article includes short, detailed histories about each franchise's Black quarterbacks, as well as the executives and coaches who brought the players to the team.

And I look into the story of Willie Thrower, and his one game with the Bears in 1953.

How the NFL forgot its greatest black pioneer

Fritz Pollard was the NFL's first black coach and its first black quarterback, but most American football fans have never heard of him.
