I was watching ESPN and decided to google Ditka's career stats. In his first four seasons, he totalled 3671 yards and 30 TD's. Over his next eight seasons, he only totalled 2141 yards and 13 TD's...and he only missed 10 games over this eight-year span.

What happened??

Just speculation from looking at the stats on the teams he was on, but it appears he was the favorite target of Bill Wade (who was Chicago's leader passer from '61-'64) and was passed over by any of the other QBs he played with.
