The Vikings only have one reciever so I don't see how it would have been a whole lot different here. Plus a good QB can make average recievers look very good. Not to worry folks, can I get a S A G E- Sage, Sage, Sage!!!

Agreed, funny how no one brought that up before this.

I like this trade as well as the Pace signing.

Yeah WR is our weakest spot now but we do have 2 good TE's in Clark and Olsen, Forte is a great receiver out of the backfield, of course we have Hester, a slot recevier in Davis, plus we have a few young receivers that need some playng time with one of them being Earl Bennett. He was a rookie last year and didn't see the field much, but he was one of Cutler's receivers in college, is the all time leading receiver in SEC history, and Culter came back to Vanderbilt to throw for Bennetts proday. That shows how much Culter likes Bennett as a WR. I still see us going out a signing a veteran WR, I prefer Torry Holt and I am sure with either our 2nd round pick or our compensatory 3rd will be on a WR.

As for Oline we addressed that as well by signing 3 free agents (Omiyale(sp), Shaeffer, and Pace). Plus we will have Williams moving over to the right tackle spot.

So I wouldn't just count out our offense just yet as still being terrible. After all you guys said the Bears need a QB and "Jay Cutler, We got Him!!"

I think the Jets thought, oh my, Brett Favre is coming. They were supposed to go far. What happened with that? Oh wait I remember....Favre sucked, the Jets sucked...You can only do so much when you do not have any WR's. And If you can honestly tell me that Cutler is better than Favre, I'll agree that the bears got a good deal. You can buy a nice new shiny gun, but without bullets you can't make it kill that deer.

Even with Cutler, the Vikes will still win more games than the Bears this year. I would even go out on a limb and say with Denver's recieving corp, that if Orton wins the job, he will throw for more yards than Cutler. I was never sold on the guy, especially the whining when he was almost traded for Cassell, so it will be fun to watch him fail in Chicago.

all I can say is the bears players respected Orton. Clubhouse getin along is a big thing,, just ask TO. + he has a higher winning % as a QB with A Lot less to work with, other than a def. Look at the #'s. ORton put up [PoorWordUsage] good numbers, and the bears got rid of him along with 2 1st round picks. DEnver plays the bears--- my $$ is on Denver.

Like I said before,, for the BEars, the next 2 years tell the story. Cutler will show his true character in the next 2 years.

Is it worth it?? I bet not,, but we will see.

I too will wait to see how this thing works out. Ditka doesn't have the best things to say about this defense and there are still some other holes to fill on this team. First round picks, with the exception of the Ryan Leafs of the world, at worst give you average players that will start, and at best can give you pro bowlers with an occasional hall of famer. First round picks have real value. Later rounds are more variable.

Maybe the Bears get enough out of Cutler to justify the trade, maybe not. If the Vikes would have pulled it off, I would have been happy to see them trying to win now, but if they didn't succeed in that endeavor, then they would be hurting without the draft picks.

I guess we'll see how much analysts and the public think of the trade when the draft is over and the schedules come out. People will be picking division champs. No matter what the NFC North is still terrible across the board.

It would help if his receivers would continue their routes rather than just stopping after they make their cut. The tight end cost them a touchdown and it also almost caused 2 interceptions in one drive. Of course Cutler threw an interception on the next play.

Lets be honest here. The Bears have no real receiving threats outside of Olsen. None. Zip. Nada. Please don't bring up Hester either.

Another thing, this is the NFL, first round picks are more often successful than they are flops. MLB, the draft is always a toss of the dice, more often than not a first round pick spends 10 years in the minors and never even makes it up to the show. NHL, NBA and NFL are different stories. I am all for giving up a #1 for Cutler, but not Boldin. He seems to be a big attitude case, I.E. playoffs, amongst other things. A good QB yes, it is worth it, but WRs- we can get one just as good if not better than Boldin with a first round pick and get one about 5-7 years younger.

Maybe the Bears can draft a good receiver in the first round next year...ooops they don't have one! Guess they'll have to wait till 2011...ooops they don't have a first rounder then either!

Joking aside it was disappointing to learn Urlacher dislocated his wrist and had surgery this morning. I think he ws going to have a monster year and you hate to see it end opening night!
