It's Over: Cutler Going to Chicago

[GTripp0012]

Next year is going to be a crazy year for QBs in the draft. McCoy, Bradford, Tebow are all first rounders, and Grothe/Reesing could be second rounders as well.

Ugh, so we start over with a rookie QB again? Awful prognosis on the horizon if that's the case. No way Tebow is a first round pick.

Whew, I am totally relieved..

As for Bears, it's kinda of interesting.. A good friend of mine is huge Bears fan; they do have good TEs in Clark and Olsen, Lloyd actually is playing much better than when he was at here and Forte - he's rising pretty good.. He was my fantasy as well, helped my team lot.. But this offense pretty much looks like our offense last year..

True, but I think their plans all depend on this season.. If Campbell performs very well, they will give him a huge contract in return for all this attempted to trading.. If he doesn't perform that makes Danny happy enough, then I guess to expect us to draft one of the QBs next year..

I believe and hope Campbell will do good this year..

There's no way every team passes on Tebow. I don't think there's any reason that Jason Campbell would struggle this year. I just think it's a situation we have to keep an eye on.

We could always waste the 13th pick on a bad QB, but that probably wouldn't prevent Campbell from having a breakout season. So we might end up with a Brees-Rivers situation. Except unlike Rivers, we wouldn't have a good player if we traded Campbell.

Hey a rookie QB in the fold isn't bad if we went for Bradford or McCoy. I mean Collins is going bye bye soon anyway, and who knows how the JC/Brennan show is going to go. I would go for those guys for 1. insurance and 2. depth. Or do you guys suggest we go for another Mark Brunnell?

If you want to put a number on it I had Campbell pegged as an 88.0 QB (90 ceiling 80 floor) rating type of guy in 2009. It's just with Cutler I thought we had the chance to get a guy that could go as high as 95.0 QB rating ceiling and a an 88.0 floor. as well as finally getting a guy that can finish drives. I also thought that Cutler would be able to put up a 1,000 more yards then Campbell.

In looking back thats my main problem with Campbell, in that he's had trouble finishing drives. If he improves on that and makes me look like a moron then great, it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong. And it's not like anyone besides Smootsmack will remember what you say.

Still I'm excited that my second most important unit will probalby get an upgrade come draft day, and if you haven't guessed I'm talking about the O-Line.

Were you saying he was awful halfway through last season? If you were, you might have been alone. Everyone was on his jock at that point. His struggles began when the O-line broke down (damn I feel like a broken record here). This will be his second year in the same offense for the first time maybe since High School. I am excited to see him play in this offense next season.

I'm so relieved Cutler is in Chicago and Campbell is still here.

Cutler is a bitch. Campbell is a baller!

HAIL!

Thank God for the Bears :headbange

So the next thread that starts going down the "Our FO is the worst in the NFL", Vinny sucks, Snyder sucks.....all I'll say is Bears & Cutler.

Chicago has always been a sort of surrogate team for me since I lived there for about 5 years (during the Michael Jordan years) so it's nice to see them have a chance to move up in the NFC North. Still I definitely didn't want Cutler going to an NFC team outside of us, but whatever. You do what you can to compete. If anything those Chicago recievers just saw their stats go up another 200 yards.


Heres the thing. If you're a good reciever you can get around 900 yards with good QB play (70-80 rating). If you're a great reciever you can easily put up around 1,200 yards (case in point Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin).

The right QB acan easily turn someone from a 500-700 yard guy into a 1,000+ yard guy. That is the impact of a great QB. I honestly believe that was the case with Eddie Royal and the rest of the Bronocs recievers not named Marshall.

I think that is a problem JC has. Our best WR is a smurf!!!!!!

[BigHairedAristocrat]

thank goodness for the bears.

any idea what our final offer was? I have a feeling we came within a few minutes of securing cutler

[NoviSkins]

The Bears must have thought they were getting Tom Brady for that price.

Well now lets see campbell make big time leaps forward next year lol wow this will set us back! Campbell is not the answer sorry to say it but it's true.
