Mark Schlereth thought it was crazy how Bears fans could be excited when we lost our two starting tackles from last year. Nevermind the fact they were terrible and we've replaced them with what are likely better options this year. No offense to Schlereth, but I doubt he even knows the other moves we've made this offseason. We've upgraded both our tackle positions significantly. I like Schlereth, but he (more so then Dilfer) came off as being unprepared. He said if you could name the Bears starting WR then you are lucky. He also remarked that Lloyd and Davis as the Bears starters? puh-lease. Lloyd was on a one yr deal, unlikely to return, and Davis would be lucky if he is on the Bears come the 09 season. As for the tackles situations.......Pace with Williams going to LT and the signings of Omiyale and Shaffer > Tait and JSC at T, and Metcalf as backup. I'm not saying the OL is the greatest in the world, but the OL is better today then it was at the end of the season. I do agree with both in that there is still some work to be done with the offense, but the major ??? was at QB and that has been solved. I am a believer that whoever gets the BP in the deal is generally the winner of the deal. Cutler>Orton and unknown draft picks. i wouldn't mind the bears resigning lloyd though along with holt and going with holt-lloyd-hester-bennett-drafted WR.

bears open the season on sunday night? i've been trying to find the schedule but with no luck. i thought i heard that... maybe i'm wrong :-k you're right. wikipedia says bears @ packers. too bad it wasnt in chicago to open the year.

We had two third round picks. Plus, it's just a third rounder.

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.

nevermind just found it. Pace to the Bears done. http://rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=NFL&hl=141983&id=394

where'd you see this?

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

How can you not know how you feel about getting a 25 yr old Pro Bowl caliber Qb whos signed for 3 more years? He was 16th in QB rating last year and is .500 for his career. He is a whiny twit, but I hope he plays great. His record is meaningless his defense was horrible. I could give 2 craps if hes a whiner as long as he performs. Exactly. And if he performs and Angelo gets the players to win, he won't whine.

That's a lot to give up, but it was expected. We finally have a franchise quarterback. Unbelievable.

I just know that Maclin is going to go a pick or two before the Bears draft and it's going to kill me inside.

Bradley in the first.

The Bears gave up on Mark Bradley immediately once he got injured. Williams didn't make it to day 2 of practice. Football coaches routinely hold injuries against the player. It may be bizarre, and they may deny it, but it's true. They drafted Williams with the intention of starting him from day 1, but he got hurt in non-contact drills. The Bears struggled partly due to a weak line, Lovie was more or less forced to demote his best friend, his name went to the top of the chopping block. It would not surprise me in the least if Williams is no longer thought of the same way they thought of him on draft day. It wouldn't surprise me, but it's a very poor way of running things. They knew they were drafting damaged goods. You can't take a guy who you know has a bad back, then hold it against him when he injures said back. I really hope it's what RedFlash thinks, but if it isn't it really shows how bad this organization is run.

Calipari's head coaching jobs UMass (8 seasons) Nets (3 seasons) Memphis (9 seasons) Saban's head coaching jobs Toledo (1 season) Michigan State (5 seasons) LSU (5 seasons) Dolphins (2 seasons) Alabama (2 seasons) they really aren't the same.

I find it bizarre that a team could sour on a guy after just one season when they knew he was injured (or at least had a bad back) when they drafted him.

come on now, the all-grey roads are fantastic. the only reason they should get rid of them is to bring back the Cuba jerseys.

I have zero confidence that Angelo pursues Cutler at all, but man I sure am hoping.

Sadly, probably.

Breaking news on PowerMizzou.com - Anderson resigns with Missouri for a 7 year/$1.6M contract.

I've heard 1.4M as the figure that is going to be offered from Missouri.

Pace and that other guy we signed (name slips me) would make me very happy. Then, we could maybe go WR-LB/S in rounds 1 and 2 and get an OL or two on day two.
