2009 Chicago Bears offseason

[Guest]

What's the possibility of Brandon Marshall whining his way into a trade to the Bears?

[wolf stansson]

That is a lot.

Now I'd love to see the Bears sign Pace, then take someone like Kenny Britt in the 2nd round if he's there.

[Mark Priors Calves]

quarterback is by far the most important position in pro football.

 

Even more, I think it is the most important position in pro sports

agreed, but i didn't want to get into a side argument with some about that in this thread.

[David]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

I heard it in the car 20 minutes ago and I started yelling and celebrating like a maniac.

[David]

Whispers that Pace could be taking a physical and signing soon.

Whispers that Pace could be taking a physical and signing soon.

I fully expect Pace to be signed now.

[David]

orlando pace is signed.

[Butterscup1679666578]

orlando pace is signed.

 

where'd you see this?

[17 Seconds]

is there anything more exciting than your team acquiring a stud player out of nowhere?

[Butterscup1679666578]

nevermind just found it. Pace to the Bears done.

supposedly it was on espn 1000

[mjohnson71]

Why am I not excited about this?

[Mark Priors Calves]

i'm curious to see how kyle orton does in denver. many orton supporters have pointed out the bears offense doesn't have any weapons. many cutler detractors have pointed out the broncos offense has weapons at tight end and receiver.

 

if orton is as good as many have said, he should really doing well in denver.

[Brian]

Why am I not excited about this?

 

still a questionable OL, crappy receivers, and an aging defense.

Why am I not excited about this?

you're a packers fan?

 

 

i can understand anxiety about giving up a lot of value in draft picks if that's your concern.

how good is orlando pace now?

[soapy]

Pretty huge gamble to give up that much, but I'm excited.

[JLN]

I hope Jay Cutler is also a great receiver, offensive lineman, and every position on defense.

[OleMissCub]

This is HUGE for the Bears. Y'all haven't had a QB since McMann really. Cutler is the real deal.

[Mark Priors Calves]

urlacher on the trade:

"I guess the Bears felt like we needed another quarterback, so they made a move," Urlacher said. "They gave up a lot. Cutler must be pretty good. I guess we got better as a team," Urlacher said. "You get a quarterback who is a Pro-Bowl guy.

 

"I would be ticked off too if someone was trying to trade me and didn't tell me about it," he said. "I don't think Jay is going to be an issue. We have a pretty good locker room, so I'm not worried about that. Hunter [Hillenmeyer] knows him. And [Cutler] seems like a pretty good guy. I've never met him but I've heard good things about him. I'm not worried about him fitting in."

[Butterscup1679666578]

Cutler might not "save" us this year, but he's only 25. He'll be here for at least a few years as we rebuild the D. The offensive line is going to be better this year IMO. We've got a stud RB and two very good TEs. We need to either sign Holt now, or make the 2nd round our round to get a WR (or both), then focus on D in the later rounds.

I hope Jay Cutler is also a great receiver, offensive lineman, and every position on defense.

 

nobody is saying this solved all the bears problems or makes them a super bowl contender

[Hall7810]

McMann?

[rawaction]

YES!!!!!!! Franchise QB!
