Football fans aren’t exactly known for their long, thought out decisions. Sunday, after the Bears’ embarrassing loss, one Bears fan has had enough.

Shortly before the Bears’ 26-0 blowout loss to Seattle was over, this fan decided to leave. However, he made sure to leave something behind.

There are undoubtedly plenty of Bears fans that wouldn’t mind ditching their Bears gear after the way this season has started. With injuries piling up, the Bears are 0-3 with almost no sign of life.

Making the jersey even more appropriate is which jersey it is, or could be. Going through the recent history of Bears players to wear No. 12 is a history lesson in bad Bears quarterbacks.

Bears No. 12 since 1994:

  • Erik Kramer (1994-1998)
  • Brent Bartholomew (2000)
  • Chris Chandler (2002-2003)
  • Jonathan Quinn (2004)
  • Justin Gage (2005-2006)
  • Caleb Hanie (2012-2013)
  • Josh McCown (2012-2013)
  • David Fales (2014-2015)

On second thought, if ever there was a jersey that was worth being left behind, it’s probably that one.
