April 2, 200917 yr QUOTE (rangercal @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 05:08 PM) The off-season is not over. Run and hide while you still can! Run and hide? Why? I don't expect much from GB this year anyways, playoffs would shock me especially since the transition of switching to the 3-4 will be rough. And your right its not over, GB could make some moves but I know they won't because TT is a stiff sort of like Angelo till this big move.

April 2, 200917 yr ok, so now we... ya know... need some people to throw too. Forte cant run for 1500 and catch 1500.
April 2, 200917 yr QUOTE (rangercal @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 05:48 PM) CUTLER TO HESTER DEEP BOMB BABY! Too bad speed doesnt equal being a good WR.
April 2, 200917 yr QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 03:25 PM) ok, so now we... ya know... need some people to throw too. Forte cant run for 1500 and catch 1500. Bennett, Hester, Olsen, and White is a good starting point. There needs to be 1 more in that mix, possession type receiver, but it's a decent fit given the QB the Bears just got. This also probably just got Forte another 100-200 yards running just on its own, because now the safeties and CB's have no choice but to play back. You can't play an 8 man front against Cutler.
April 2, 200917 yr i love what we've done this offseason....we've gotten road grating O linemen in Shaffer and Omiyale who will be facing 7 men in the box now to go with a HOFer in pace...Forte coudl have an enormous year....I dont even remember the last time teh bears consistently faced anything other than 8 men fronts....probably hasnt happened in my lifetime Edited April 2, 200917 yr by daa84
April 2, 200917 yr QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 05:23 PM) too late over here I saw that the Bears traded for Cutler and I... Jizzed in my pants. Five minutes later I saw that Pace was also signed and I Jizzed in my pants.

Whose White? I assume you mean Clark?
April 2, 200917 yr whoa..... GO BEARS! the offensive line needs major work, nice to see we got Pace as well.
April 2, 200917 yr QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 05:26 PM) Too bad speed doesnt equal being a good WR. one of the problems with Orton is he didnt have enough arm strength or long distance accuracy to throw the deep ball to Hester.. we have a QB now who can.

He had the arm strength, he was just incredibly inaccurate when it came to the long ball.
April 2, 200917 yr Orton isn't bad, but Cutler can be a franchise QB. He should make Olsen and Hester so much better even if neither of them progressed. He can make throws few QB's can make and his ability to throw accurate and powerful balls should make our WR's a lot more confident and help them develop.
April 2, 200917 yr Didnt realize how bad things were in Chicago if people are going this crazy for Cutler.

Bennett - I'd like to, well, see him on the field before I declare him an asset. Hester - I like the deep ball with him now. REALLY lengthens the field. Olsen - He just got a lot better... and he was already good. White - Sorry, White who? I feel stupid. I think we need a solid #1 or #2. Hester is long range and Olsen is not a #1 WR. So, we need just one piece. If Bennett is that, then so be it. If it's a draft pick or Holt, it works for me. Forte - 1500 yards this year. No 8 in the box.
April 2, 200917 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 05:32 PM) He had the arm strength, he was just incredibly inaccurate when it came to the long ball. yes and no. He had SOME, but I saw a big difference between Grossman and Orton in down field strength.

April 2, 200917 yr QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 05:36 PM) Didnt realize how bad things were in Chicago if people are going this crazy for Cutler. Jay Cutler threw for 4500 yards last year. We haven't had a franchise-type QB in like...forever. Edited April 2, 200917 yr by chw42
April 2, 200917 yr QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 03:36 PM) Didnt realize how bad things were in Chicago if people are going this crazy for Cutler. Bears pro-bowl QB's since 1950: 1985: Jim McMahon 1963: Bill Wade 1956: Ed Brown 1955: Ed Brown 1952: Johnny Lujack 1951: Johnny Lujack
April 2, 200917 yr http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d8048557c 2:47.......Hester was that open about 5 times this year and orton missed him....if Cutler can make that throw once a game Hester is going to be extraordinarily dangerous..

Great leader, OK QB, lousy arm, surrounded by incredibly talented receivers, RB's and OL. The Bears have not had a top tier QB in my lifetime as a fan. Despite what may be overpayment, I like this move, a LOT.
