Dan Hampton thinks Bears would have done more Super Bowl shuffling in 80's with Jay Cutler

The 1985 Bears will go down in history as one of the greatest teams to ever step foot on an NFL field.

However, one Hall of Famer from the '85 team thinks a dynasty could've formed if a recently exiled Bears quarterback was around in the 80's.

During a trip to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday morning, Dan Hampton proclaimed that Jay Cutler was the missing ingredient that would've led the Bears to multiple Super Bowls.

Is Hampton out of his mind? Not necessarily.

While Jim McMahon was a solid quarterback for the Bears, he was known more for his antics off the field and ability to manage the game, which is all that head coach Mike Ditka really asked for with Hall of Famer Walter Payton in the backfield and Buddy Ryan leading the greatest defense of all time.

The thought of the Bears collecting four trophies seems to be a bit of a stretch, but it wouldn't have been surprising to see the organization win more than one Lombardi if a more talented quarterback such as Cutler was around in the 80's.

There's one thing we can all agree on: it's been way too long since the Bears won a Super Bowl.
