The 10 Most Important Bears in 2010 - #1 Jay Cutler

Who else but Jay Cutler in a quarterback driven league would I have at #1?  Anticlimactic, yes.  But, teams usually only go as far as their quarterbacks take them, and don't bring that tired Trent Dilfer argument to the table, that Ravens team was the exception.  Teams that don't get good QB play don't win consistently in the NFL. 

Oh sure, your defense can sometimes get you to the playoffs, and of course a dominant running game will get you far on occasion, but without solid QB play, you ain't winning the big one.

The Chicago Bears' Special Teams unit is one of the best in the NFL.  Dave Toub consistently puts together a unit that excels in all facets of the game.  The 2010 season should be no different.  While we're all riveted to the progress of the offense & defense and individual position competitions during the preseason, it's comforting to know that the special teams unit will once again dominate the Bears' opponents.  We will not worry about coverages, field goals & returns.  Toub's men know what to do.

Chicago Bears Wide Receiver Roulette - The Aftermath

"As they speed through the finish, the flags go down. The fans get up and they get out of town. The arena is empty except for one man. Still driving and striving as fast as he can"

It's almost all said and done, our starting six have all been chosen by the fans in the following order as the guys they wanted to see on the Bears this season. Devin Aromashodu, Johnny Knox, and Devin Hester got nods as the first three off the board, and the final trio consisted of Earl Bennett, Juaquin Igleasis, and Freddie Barnes. Not a bad player in the bunch in my opinion, and we'll take a quite look at the ones we've already mentioned, as well as the final additions below the fold. However, first things first, who is going to fill that mythical seventh wide receiver slot? Which special teams focused player is going to be something special for the Bears this year?

It's time for the final showdown between Eric Peterman, and Rashied Davis. Two men enter, and one Bear remains standing. Choose your sides folks, and join us in the comments to offer your feelings about the Bears receiver group this year.

Poll
It's the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny, special teams edition. Peterman or Davis, make your choice now.

For those of you who are hardcore football fans who can appreciate the way the game used to be played, you certainly understand the type of player Jack Tatum was. Thoughts and condolences to his family and friens and the Raiders community.
