Cutler and Olsen bonding at Sub 51 over the weekend. This seems like a good "caption this photo" opportunity. Let me start "dude i can't believe you actually wrote a song and said "hey fellas lets get weird, stick your dick up in her ear" ... what the f*** were you thinking?"

Dude... Cutler, Dude.

I actually think that DJ is opening up a little bit since getting away from Hawk. It seems like he was too comfortable just parroting whatever Hawk was gabbing about that day. Farmio and DJ have been a lot more fluid and I like their chemistry thus far. I feel like Hawk bothers me now... but if (When) he ever passed away I would really miss him.

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Apr 13, 2009 -> 11:14 AM) I really like that-good work by ESPN no doubt -- this was a great idea. I love it and will check it everyday now.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 11, 2009 -> 09:52 PM) Not sure if this has been posted here before, but I would love it if everyone in Soldier Field wore these for the home opener. http://tweedlet.com/ how great that they even included the patented Cutler double chin... awesome shirt.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 04:22 PM) Holt is going to be the guy, book it. I'm behind signing Holt... but I guess the only thing that worries me is how much he has left in the tank. I think the idea of signing a pro bowler like Holt has me super excited but I didn't watch him play much last season... can anyone shed light on this?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 11:52 AM) Leftwich would be a tremendous pickup, but that move won't happen for a while. If Leftwich is smart, he'll wait and see if someone gets hurt or if a QB job opens up where he'll have a pretty good job at competing for a starting spot. If he doesn't, Chicago wouldn't be a bad place for him to be just because he'd have a shot to win, but barring injury he'd have no shot at playing. However, if you couldn't find a spot where you could compete for a spot, Chicago wouldn't be bad because if things go well, they might sit Cutler one week and he'd at least be able to showcase himself at the end of the season. Plus, if Cutler went down for an extended period of time, he'd be on a good team which would help make him look better and hopefully if that did happen, he'd perform, win a few games, make himself more marketable while at the same time keeping the Bears a playoff team. Thats how I'd sell it at least. Than there is Grossman. With Cutler coming in, the Bears are going to have to give him a ton of snaps and reps in mini camps since it will be his first year in the offense and with the playoffs, which might make it a bit harder to bring in another QB who doesn't have a knowledge of the offense (ie, Leftwich might have trouble getting up to speed enough since Cutler would really need so many reps, more so than say a guy like Manning whose been in the same system for years). Grossman is also a very capable backup who doesn't seem to have any starting options and given his comfort with the offense he could be just fine with limited reps. Plus, as a pure backup I think the hate for Grossman would diminish because I believe most of the shots had to deal more with the Bears not having a good QB (ie, Orton/Grossman) than fans really hating Grossman. Grossman might not do it, but he wouldn't have to answer the same questions he did in the past and as a whole I think the players respect the heck out of him and as a classy fan I respect him for the way he's handled anything. I wouldn't blame Rex if he never wanted anything to do with Bear fans or if he just wanted a clean break, but I do think from the Bears perspective he would be a great #2 QB for one more season (giving Hanie a bit more seasoning). I love how much work your getting done today Jason... someone will be audited because of your love of Bears Football.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 12:17 PM) You got to admire the boldness. My guess is any move up would be to acquire a WR or tackle. Pompei later speculates how the Bears are very interested in Robisnkie. Robinskie definately would be a nice fit along with Bennett and Hester. My guess is that if they trade up, its to target a 1st round tackle that slides or to grab a WR like Robinskie/Nicks. Otherwise I could very well see them trading down if Britts/Robinski/Nicks are off the board (this would be easier to do if the Bears sign Holt cause they'd have even less pressure to grab a WR super early and could make adjustments of what they picked based upon the way the draft unfolds). Robinske will be a player in the league. I love the fact that his father is a WR coach, and that he was a ball boy and got a chance to watch pro-WR growing up. I think we should take this kid or make a minor trade to be able to pick him -- if possible. He's like 6'3 and will RUN GOOD ROUTES!!!! he might not have Heyward-Bey speed, but he has size and the knowledge to make an immediate impact. You also have to admire the fact that he played on the big stage at OSU and played against good in conference and out of conference defenses.

1st! YES!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 09:10 AM) Yes. The addition of Torry Holt would, in my opinion, make the Bears the top offense in the NFC. It would also be the final addition to what would be the best offense in Bears history. I don't think the Bears should stop with Holt. I think the Bears should add another veteran like Toomer or Jurevicious(sp?) and move Hester to the slot. From the Z position you can basically just let him run "go" routes and pray that he catches the ball -- because nobody is going to be able to cover him. The offense is starting to look nice on paper, but their performance will be directly tied to how the OL performs with people moving around and coming in.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 03:40 PM) Pace is now lobbying for the Bears to get Holt. The Bears offer the best QB out of the teams competing for Holt and the most familiarity. He'll be a Bear, book it. the stars do seem aligned.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Apr 7, 2009 -> 08:13 PM) heres a pic of the Olsen next to my real authentic Grossman. Whats so different about the numbers, besides the colors obviously? dude the colors on those jersies are completely different... i hate to tell you this, but I think you got ripped off. I mean one jersey is completely orange and the other one is blue. well... I guess the old-adage is true -- a sucker born everyday.

Cutler dude... I still cant believe we got Cutler. Awesome.

they onionized a story... i thought it was funny.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 6, 2009 -> 02:13 PM) If the Bears signed Plaxico and there was one problem, everyone involved in signing him should immediately be fired. I really think there is zero chance Angelo is even considering bringing this knucklehead in. T. O. is an angel compared to this guy. Character should count for something. It amazes me how many people on this board want him in a Bears uniform, like he'll really be a changed person by all of this. If anything, judging by his traffic offenses and responses, he still thinks he's invincible. Avoiding a lengthy jail sentence and/or a lengthy suspension by the NFL would only make his head grow larger and he would act like even a bigger idiot. Actually, I wish T.O. didnt sign so quickly. If we added T.O. (for one year only) and Cutler... man, I would say we would have had to be considered as STRONG contenders in the NFC. At least a top 3 team.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Apr 6, 2009 -> 01:50 PM) The guy is always on the injured list(which is where he was when he made a peephole in his thigh) and he really cannot stay out of trouble with the law. I am pretty sure I just read that he recieved his 5th ticket in the last month in Florida. and told the police officer to go f*** himself and the he knew the sheriff and would "take care" of the officer because he gave him the ticket. Classy Guy... I'd stay away.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 6, 2009 -> 11:17 AM) Caulfield got pwned. Yah, I'm not sure why you posted that e-mail... I mean I hate the concept of having fans as experts, but that e-mail was pretty damning to your argument.

B)

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 06:24 PM) Best day in Bears history since we went Shuffling... do the chickens have large talons?

Sign Pace and Holt

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 02:32 PM) It will really depend on what package ends up getting Cutler. If it looks like something the Bears could have reasonably matched or beat, we'll be hearing about this for years to come. "Crede woulda had that!" will become "Cutler woulda completed that!" Great post. I think the non-moron-fan will be able to judge whether or not there was a reasonable deal for the bears to make and will judge Angelo based on the merits of the deal made.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 10:50 AM) Not the point. Showing interest and being willing to actually pull the trigger are two different things. If someone wants to give Denver an unrealistically big package (2 first rounders, a 2nd, and a player for example) then you don't outbid, you let them. If Denver wants to ask for that, fine, but you negotiate down, not up. You don't just offer that high because you want it really bad. of course you don't want to overbid... and I would trade 2 firsts and 2 seconds, but you have to be realistic. 10 teams are legitimately interested because the guy is a stud QB in his PRIME. We are not trying to obtain Sage Rosenfels... Denver does have a lot of negotiating power because they can play SEVERAL offers against eachother. The Broncos will get value for Cutler because Cutler is worth more to most teams that view Cutler as more valuable than whatever they would get with their draft picks --- if the Broncos don't overplay their hand. The Bears can negotiate up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right B A... but if you want Cutler your going to have to give up value. Cutler may be a baby but he doesnt have TO stigma and you aren't going to get him (franchise QB) for peanuts.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 1, 2009 -> 11:34 PM) I'd 100% agree with you if we were only a QB away from contending. If the Vikings got Cutler, they're automatically a SB contender. Even with Cutler, I'm not sure were a playoff team given our other glaring holes. I hope Cutler goes to Washington so I can close this thread... I can't keep doing this to myself.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 1, 2009 -> 12:38 PM) Just wanted to give you guys a little info. JHood recently plugged his new show on his Facebook account and I wrote him to say i wouldnt listen since I refuse to support any Mike North endeavor. He wrote this back to me: So, i just wanted to be fair to this new radio station. hmph, I wonder why he was so honest.... big ups for him. I still wont listen to J-hood because he's annoying, whiny, and I dislike his take on most of the issues. But still... big ups for being honest.
