2. Lazor has found “some” success with quarterbacks

Lazor has been a mixed bag when it comes to working with quarterbacks. While Lazor was in Philadelphia for Nick Foles’ impressive 27-touchdown, 2-interception season in 2013, as well as Ryan Tannehill’s best season as a Dolphin in 2014, the same couldn’t be said for potential free agent acquisition Andy Dalton.

Dalton had underwhelming seasons under Lazor. In 2017, Dalton passed for 3,320 yards with a 59.8 completion percentage, as well as 25 touchdowns to 12 interceptions. He followed that up with 2,566 passing yards with a 61.9 completion percentage and 21 touchdowns to 11 interceptions in 11 games in 2018.

With Dalton a pending free agent this offseason, it wouldn’t a surprise if the Bears brought him in to compete with Trubisky for the starting job in 2020.
