CW is the highest rated QB prospect since Peyton Manning would be a fair assessment. He and Luck are similar minus the flags we are, IMO, making a bigger deal out of than anything but in fairness this is a new age. Luck was more cerebral. Players like CW more. CW was better in college. Luck had a crazy dad too. Certainly, there's a race aspect in play here too on that note. We'll never know how much CTE affected Lucks career until they cut him open but I bet he was done being concussed.
It would be short sighted to assume that there are still living Bears fans that would rather lose that win a black QB. Additionally, People gravitate towards leaders who look like them(Hence the JF locker room love. ) Also, IMO, the Maye love. Nothing besides being tall looking the part of "prototypical" qb was demonstrated on the field. It's highly unlikely anybody will acknowledge this.
The locker room don't realize or want to admit he's a shit qb because he's so well like inside the locker room. Furthermore, he was so well liked because he could relate to most of the team.
