Yes, that’s right. During the entire 16-game era (1978-2019), there were only five seasons in which the Bears’ starting quarterback actually started every game.
- 1981 - Vince Evans
- 1991 - Jim Harbaugh
- 1995 - Erik Kramer
- 2006 - Rex Grossman
- 2009 - Jay Cutler
Every other season between 1978 and 2023 saw at least one backup QB start at least one game for the Bears. Caleb started every game for the Bears last season, and with his 16th start of the season against San Francisco, put his name in the Bears’ history books as the first QB to hit that mark twice.
Prior to this, the last QB to start every game in a season twice was Bob Avellini, who started all 14 games in 1976 and 1977.
