Breaking news on the Bears...

dogsrus said:
I'm excited but cautiously....we still need some pieces. I also hope we don't pay too much for Pace...his better days are behind him and he's injury prone now.

This is a strange move by the Bears if you have followed them like I have for 40 some years....its not like them to pull a big trade and actually get a QB.

I like it...hope it works out.

Wow! I hope a 25 year old quarterback is not at a point where his better days are behind him! I think he will do well here.

I am pleasantly surprised they pulled this off, but like you said, it is not like them. Maybe the pressure of winning a Super Bowl is finally getting to them! :D

An open apology to the McCaskey Family from Big Mike for calling you "cheap a$$e$" all these years! :oops:

PS......OH YEAH...did I say the Bears just signed Orlando Pace! :mrgreen:

now now now Big Mike... Don't rush things here... I believe that Cutler is still on his rookie contract. :mrgreen:
 
time to start liking Jay Cutler. haven't been a big fan w/ the recent "crybaby"-gate. Also, he always looks like he's lazy and doesn't have his head in the game.

Don't get me wrong...I'm MORE than happy with him. But someone's going to need to kick him in the a** and tell him to quit his whining if that starts...don't think Lovie's the guy to do that.

Oh, and Orlando Pace!?!?!?!??!?!
chalk up another hall of famer for the Bears :D

My guess is Jerry Angelo made this possible because of the Lions. The lions are a pretty good team (offensively) except for teh QB position. As soon as the Lions thoguht they might get Cutler, I bet the bears put it all on the line for him.

Go Bears

I did hear one radio analyst mention that Cutler's contract is likely a lot less than what the Bears would pay for the 1st rounders they gave up. Hopefully they use that "savings" to get a receiver..

Well the main thing for Bears fans is that they have Cutler and when contract time comes around, they will have priority to negotiate. That being said, if Cutler has a good year, he will be in a position to break the McCaskey's bank.
 
I did not know he grew up as a Bears fan. Maybe that helped a little with the Bears getting him.

He grew up in southern Indiana, in the small town of Santa Claus, Indiana.
http://www.jaycutler.org/about.shtml

He was a high school star at Heritage Hills High School in Lincoln City, Indiana, and then went to college at Vanderbilt.
His last year at Vanderbilt, his favorit receiver was Earl Bennett, who the Bears drafted last year.
One source says he has never missed a game due to injury in high school, college or the NFL. He started Denvers last 5 games in 2006, then started all 16 games the last 2 seasons.

His career record is only 17-20 (2-3 in 2006, 7-9 in 2007, and 8-8 in 2008 ), but his passing numbers and career quarterback rating are better than any quarterback in Bears history. He has never played in a playoff game, but he was named to the Pro Bowl this past year.

Cutler is a type 1 diabetic (aka juvenile diabetes) and requires multiple insulin shots each day.
Cutler coming to the Bears gives Bears fans a much bigger reason to look forward to this next season.

Here is a link to a YouTube video of Cutler leading his high school team to the Indiana Class3A championship.-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GlfazGL0Ss
He is the quarterback, #6, and he also plays on defense. The game-winning play in overtime is a gimmick play where Cutler throws a pass to his wide receiver, but it is really a lateral. Then Cutler runs wide to the opposite side and receives a pass that leads to the winning touchdown. That play starts around 5:20 of the video if you don't want to watch the entire highlight video.

Speaking of trick plays- YouTube has a lot of fascinating trick plays in football. Here is one that takes a little guts to run--

Heard a disgruntled Denver fan on the radio mention that Cutler is 13-1 when the D actually holds the other team to 21 or fewer points...

Let's see....OP gave up 3 sacks in 14 starts @ left tackle last season.....sorry dogs but I would take that in a new-york minute....a down year for OP would be a Pro-Bowl year for most other OTs! :mrgreen:
 
The Cutler deal was fantastic move for the most important position in football, but who is he going to catch his passes. There are some wide outs on the free agent market that could help. I doubt that the Bears will be in position to grab one of the better ones coming out of the draft this year and there are some good ones.

I also believe that the Bears play in SF this year!:D I'll try to get some tickets for that one.
 
It would be unlikely that da Bears could solve their WR immediately throught the draft. Very few rookie WR's make an immediate impact. I think they will sign an impact free agent WR; they have to. I just hope it's not Plaxico.
 
I want HOLT....I know he is not the player he used to be but even at his age he would be the top WR for the Bears and who better to teach Hester and the new WR from the draft how to be a PRO WR for a couple of years!

I am not a Bears fan, but I agree with Big Mike about Torry Holt. I think that Holt has 2-3 more good years left... I dont think the same can be said about Harrison.

I would want Harrison teaching Hester and draft picked WR...

no one has mentioned Anquan Boldin...just saying...they're looking for trades in Arizona...

Agreed! And from all that I hear Holt is a "Class A" individual. The Bears can't go wrong with him.
