Bears trade for Jay Cutler!

It's about time we had a QB in Chicago! The Bears surprised me and actually went after and obtained excellent QB Jay Cutler.

GO BEARS!!!!!!

Nice!

I bet it was engineered by NFL marketing folks who want to finally see some CHicago QB jerseys sell.

Whatever it takes! I have some hope for this year. I am going to renew my NFL ticket. Damn maybe Direct TV had a hand in this trade...

I cancelled my ticket last year. If ever there was a reason to start it back up, this is it.

It was a bold move by the Bears, a franchise that seldom makes bold moves. If nothing else it makes me happy to see that they are not going to just play it safe this year.

Good news is that Cutler has a servicable running back and two darn good tight ends.

Now we have to find a wr somewhere. Rashied Davis and Devin Hester are not going to cut it.

I'd be kicking the tires on Marvin Harrison and Torry Holt right about now to see if they have any tread left (Holt might, I don't think Harrison does). I'd love to see Antwan Boldin, but I don't think the Bears have anything to trade for him (no 1st rounders this year and next).

A nice bit of excitement though.

Cutler will go down with the names of the other great Bears QB they have had in the seventy-eight year history... Sid Luckman, Jim McMahon... uh... well, Sid Luckman and Jim McMahon.

A high price to pay, it does make the Bears better but they need an upgrade at WR.

In the long run I think Denver will be the winner in this deal (if they don't blow the draft pics).

I agree, that is a lot high picks for one player. Cutler is a great talent, but I wonder how he will respond to the criticism he will recieve in Chicago after a bad game.

Oh, hey Gail! I thought someone was playing an awfully bad joke using that onscreen name. Sorry.

Yes. I sure wish I could pick up the phone and chat with him about this exciting prospect. Football season usually doubled our phone talk time. Good memories for sure.

Heck, Luke, I wouldn't be surprised if your dad called in some favors to swing this deal...a 2 months ago Cutler wasn't even on the market, now boom , a Bear. not many pundits were giving the Bears much of a shot with this deal, I think there might have been some intervention involved .

Its a poor substitute, but you could stick around to talk football here, I know I and many others had quite a few conversations with your dad about the Bears on this board and over at DF.

Bill Wade wasa before my time, but a pro bowl and a championship weigh in his favor I think.

I'm glad that we're taking up from gambling on Kordell Stewart's , Eric Kramer's , Rick Mirer's and such, for once we're not rehabing someone's bust but getting a guy at the top of his game.

Best season we've had out of a qb was they year Eric Kramer had when he caught the lighning in the bottle and threw 29 td's. This kid should be a good bet to put up those numbers each year.

Bears Fans,

My dad used to tell me not to date a girl who was cheating on her boyfriend to be with you, because if she did it to him... she'll do it to you too.

While not exactly the same situation, I believe the logic applies.

Full disclosure: Dagger is a bitter, life-long Bengals fan who wishes he knew what it was like to be excited about an off-season move.

Yeah, not to worried. More so wondering how the Packers D will do with the 3-4 change.

At least Detroit hasn't done anything lately, so only have 2 teams to compete with

The 3-4 has me a little concerned. It fundamentally changes the defensive packege the Pack has been running for so long that I fear some adjustment problems might put us back. But I'm still excited for next season! BTW is it football season yet?!

cuchulainkevin · Post by **cuchulainkevin** » Sun Apr 05, 2009 2:16 am

Has a judge ruled on the supsensions that the Williams duo are suposed to be serving in Minnesota? Those two missing 4 games at the start of the year would be helpful.

Course, they ought to have served them last year during the playoff runup
