Okay guys, I know we can all be victims of the moment and 18.5 sacks was a great season, but let's not forget who Robert Quinn is.
His sack production since coming into the NFL is; 5, 10.5, 19, 10.5, 5, 4, 8.5, 6.5, 11.5, 2 and then 18.5.
He'll be 32 years old and of his 11 nfl seasons he's been able to play 16 games just under 1/2 the time (5 games).
If you are expecting 15+ sacks from a 32 year old Robert Quinn then your expectations don't line up to the history. Just like the 2 sack season in 2020 he'd due to regress to his statistically mean.
The larger theme for the Bears is troubling. Mack will be 31 this season and Quinn will be 32. Just looking at age alone, there's a chance at least one of these guys will be on the decline and also a possibility they both start to regress. Mack has 2 seasons left on his deal and Quinn has 3. Their combined cap hit for this season is ~$47M. With 2 players taking up ~22.6% of your salary cap what's the chances they will both be healthy this or next season?
