My first post -- couldn't resist the frenzy. I can't help but keep refreshing this thread for updates. It's funny how our offseasons are usually as exciting as the season itself. (And that's not a good thing...)

I think that our O-line sucks & gets older every year, and was one of the reasons JC sucked the last half of last year. So the options are to start to upgrade the line this year (Oher/Smith if we're lucky) or wait until next year. But key question is: How often does a great O-line player come around vs. a great QB?

If we did the smart thing & upgrade the line this year, we'd be stuck next year with a decision -- whether to renew JC's contract next year. Would we know by then? After years of watching him, I'd bet we'd still be wondering about him. And are there any quality QB's coming out next year?

The flip side is Cutler is regarded as a franchise QB. Whether it's true is debatable given the INTs and the emotional baggage. BUT, if we got him - we'd have a QB hopefully for the next 10 years. Surely by then Snyder would figure out to draft O-line. Just have to hope Cutler doesn't get too hurt in the interval years when our O-line sucks (especially with the D-lines in our division alone)

Got to admit, I'd love to see an offense where we actually throw more than 5-10 yards down the field. I miss the days of the Posse.
