January 4, 201214 yr comment_99610 http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...,0,916912.story Intriguing... One of the reasons being of the connection to Cutler. One plus to Bates being considered as OC. How about someone like Tony Dungy as GM? I had a long drawn out post started but it got lost somewhere. Anyhow, plenty of common sense to the idea and it cuts down (IMHO) on the idea of the new GM playing second fiddle to Lovie. I think Dungy has the football acumen to be a GM and there is no doubt he can evaluate talent. So why not consider it? Report

January 5, 201214 yr comment_99612 There was a story about the guy from Baltimore coming here this morning, Eric DeCosta. Just looking at their draft history my top two choices would be DeCosta and Marc Ross from the New York Giants organization. Check out each of their Bios..

January 5, 201214 yr comment_99627 I agree. I would be happy with any three of them, plus Sunnquist use to be a expert caller on the Score at one time, and sounded like a bright guy. Report
