Bears4Ever_34

http://www.nesn.com/2011/01/sources-larry-...ight-price.html Hellllooo? Don't know what they would be asking. I know the Lions got a 1st and 3rd out of Roy Williams so I think the bidding would start there. How about a 1st and Johnny Knox? This would be a dream come true if Larry Fitzgerald fell into our laps. Best WR in the game today.

Two things 1. He's not Lovie Smith 2. He can't be worse That's enough for me

FIRE HIS ASS TODAY AND GO GET JEFF FISHER! Just reported that he's on his way out of Tennessee.

While I do agree with the Asomugha comments, with him being more of a man coverage player, the thing you guys are missing is that when you have a shutdown corner like him you are able to play more man coverage. If Lovie is smart, and I'm not saying he is, he would be willing to incorporate more of that in his defense next year.

No shit. I never said I think that's what the Bears WILL do. That's why I said "Target" and "Possibly". And yes, we are right back where we were last year in the sense that we have the opportunity to go out and make our team better by getting FA's. This has nothing to do with the season itself. Every year you are looking to improve and the Bears will look to do that just like every other team in the league.

More years of mediocrity are about to come. It would be insane to extend him this year. He has one year left on his deal, why wouldn't you just wait to see what happens next season?! We just came off of 3 years with no playoffs and now all of a sudden when Lovie's job security is in question, we make it to the NFC title game this season. Hmmmmm.... I wouldn't put it past the Bears organization to extend him now though, they would be this dumb. I hope not!

Manning, Graham, Caleb, and Aromashodu. I know the Bears will resign Kreutz so we might as well put him on the list..

There are not 3 analysts (Well two, 1 being a nobody in Cowherd) that I hate more than those guys. However I did listen to Trent Dilfer on the radio this morning and I had agreed with him on just about everything he said surprisingly, Silvy was being the idiot. Didn't get a chance to hear what the other two said but frankly I don't care. The more I keep hearing everyone's take on the situation the more I side with Cutler. I'm just sick of it already.

Don't put words in my mouth. I said I hope they are able to get atleast one of those big 3. I would have reason to assume we will be right back where we were last year when we went after Julius Peppers. This team has a glaring weakness at offensive line and WR position and there will be some big name FA's available at those positions that I think the Bears will try and go after.

I would definitely spend it watching the Pro Bowl.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d81de...tenure-as-coach It was reported earlier on the Bears MB that he was retiring, now there is some clarification saying he wants to retire in 3 years when he's played 10 seasons.

I thought he retired 3 years ago?

Mankins, Jackson, Asomugha are the big 3 I'd like the Bears to target and possibly get 2 of the 3 if at all possible, at minimum one. Then from there depending on how much money they have and what happens to those 3 guys, the next tier of guys like Champ Bailey, DeAngelo Williams, T.O, Ochocinco, and Randy Moss are some others that could be available. I'm sure I'm missing some but those are the guys off the top of my head that will be FA's next year. DeAngelo Williams won't happen because the Bears like Forte too much but would be interesting to see a Williams/Forte combo. Personally, I say if we don't get Asomugha, we need to go after Champ Bailey and develop a young CB via draft. The two things the Bears desperately need more than anything is offensive line help and a #1 receiver. Those two have to be their top priorities entering next year and then from there use the draft to fill some of the other holes such as DT and FS.

I do feel for the guy, this doesn't happen to anybody else except Jay Cutler and its purely based on the perception around him.

What did that douche say?

That's what it looks like, based on what I have researched. Different degrees of a sprain, I guess we don't know technically what Cutler's was yet.

Why do we need another thread about the same thing? I'm over and done with this already, sick of talking about it. Everyone will have there own opinions with neither side being right or wrong. Jay is the only one who truly knows if he could have played or not, what people are bashing him for is the mentality that he brings upon himself where it looked like he didn't care. Whether that's the right or wrong way to approach it is a different discussion in itself.

Meh... I really don't know what to think to be honest. Lovie just said it was an MCL Sprain...

I'm a bigger fan of the 3-4 scheme than I am the 4-3 because I think it's alot tougher to prepare for and allows for more creativity. With that being said, Lovie is not going to fire Maraneli and even if he did he wouldn't go after a guy that doesn't run his queer ass Cover 2 scheme. Mankins is a must and when you pair him with a 1st round offensive lineman that hopefully isn't Chris Williams we get a ton better up front. Vincent Jackson would be that #1 guy we need and is a big target that could thrive off Cutler's arm. I'm on the Asomugha bandwagon because I don't want to see Tim Jennings back there next year but I'd hope we can get atleast 2 of the 3, not likely though.. If we can't get Jackson I'd probably take my chances on T.O. He atleast gives you the threat of someone that can take over a game. He keeps himself in good shape too so age isn't really a concern and I'm sure it would only be a 1 or 2 year contract.

Yep. Pittsburgh will pick off Rodgers a few times and be playing from ahead the entire game. Then they'll just run it down GB's throat to win yet another Superbowl..

I will never root for the Packers. Too bad both teams cant lose, I hate em both.

strong words

Regardless of what everyone thinks about the Cutler situation, if he ends up having a torn ACL (Which I doubt) but you never know, he'll miss atleast 3/4 of the season next year. What the hell would we do then?

I'm not the biggest Martz supporter but it would be good for Jay to have some stability with a system for the rest of his career. If we improve our offensive line we are off to a great start.

The defense gets a year older and that has been the staple of our team for the last half decade so you worry about if they can keep it up. We need to start finding some young guys like the Packers have in Tramon Williams and Shields. Believe me, Tim Jennings is not your answer at corner back and Idonije is not it as a DE although statistically he had the best year of his career. Hopefully guys like DJ Moore and Henry Melton become Pro Bowlers next year or we can find another diamond in the rough in this years draft. If none of this happens, the Bears window is slowly closing. FA this year and next year will play a big part in how much longer this Bears team has a shot at winning a Superbowl.
