The Bears Den - 4/7/09
In The Den
A story we've all heard mentioned: Vanderbilt aide said the Cutler told him he wanted to be drafted by Chicago in 2006.
Brad Biggs elaborates on his weekend argument that the Bears need to pick a receiver in the 2nd round.
Clark Judge of CBSSports.com writes that Cutler isn't a cure-all. Duh.
Jay Cutler was on hand for the voluntary workout yesterday. Also, Ron Turner and Cutler had lunch together on Sunday night and talked X's and O's.
Larry Mayer asked fans how they felt about the Cutler trade and received over 1,000 responses.
Sporting News breaks down the aftermath of the Cutler trade and addresses what we need to do in the draft to complete our team.
In The Vicinity of The Den
Pick the biggest Bears 1st-round draft bust of all time.
Kyle Orton and Chris Simms will compete for the QB job in Denver. No word if quarters will be involved.
WCG note: You pick the best comment:
1) I think we need a bigger sign
2) Something much more witty that you would think up
Nowhere Near The Den
Mike Florio of PFT discusses the new deal Kellen Winslow received from the Bucs.
Speaking of Mike Florio, remember what I wrote yesterday regarding the questionable reporting of NFLDraftBible.com? Well, NDB's CEO is backing their reporting. It's either a confident move or a really dumb bluff. Either way, this is turning into a huge fiasco.
Reggie Williams, the former Jaguars WR, was charged with drug possession.

Comment for sign
Lovie Smith- “Jay Cutler is our Quarterback and this time I mean it”
If things came easy, then everybody would be great at what they did, let's face it.

There is a cartoon floating around that I would have to dig up
but it has Chicago fans depicted as cavemen and saying “Court -er – back?”
It has Cutler saying “No, Quarterback!”
Angelo is next to him telling him to forgive Bears fans as they have never had one.

I remember it.
Still want that to be Cutler’s nickname.

I got an idea for a WR:
Anyone that the Jags have never come in contact with.

Just a comment about WR's
Much has been made regarding the difference in Cutler’s new and old team regarding receivers.
Personally, I think Hester is going to shine with Cutler and I like Forte, Clark and Olsen. We really need an excellent possession receiver now (I’d Kill for Boldin but that’s not going to happen).
That said, ESPN ran something showing that 3 out of the 4 top receivers with the Bears were TE’s and RB’s. Conversely, 3 out of 4 in Denver were WR’s.
But, the Bears averaged something like 9 yards per attempt and Denver 12. Something like that. I don’t remember exactly but basically 9 & 12.
The point was that will all of Denver’s “great WR’s” and with us supposedly having nothing, there wasn’t a huge difference betwwen the two teams.
There may have been a difference in WHO was catching the ball, but not a huge difference in HOW much yardage was gained.
For what all of that is worth.

Good stuff.

nice point
i think hester will strech the field for sure, forte screens all damn day long, olsen and clark over the middle ands slants, cutler swears he will make bennett in to something and for now i am a believer in that, now only if we can get rashied davis some stick em or something i think are recieving corps will be a quality bunch next year just watch…..

Because I'm 100 years old
I use the 85 Bears as a frame of reference. The 85 Bears led the NFC in scoring that year.
QB: Both the 85 Bears and the 09 Bears have a Pro-Bowler there.
WR: Both have a speedster (Hester and Willie Gault).
TE’s: Both squads had good receivers there (Moorehead and Wrightman), (Clark and Olsen).
RB’s: Forte sure reminded me of the incomparable Walter Payton receiving the ball.
The one glaring difference? The 85 Bears who had a great possession receiver in Dennis McKinnon. Dennis was almost “Boldin like” both in receiving and in blocking. Ditka used to use McKinnon to effectively cut block Lawrence Taylor, causing Taylor to start screaming over at Ditka.
I’m not making a diect comparison between the two squads, just pointing out some similarities.
We really need an excellent possession receiver.

How about a new sign:
Something like:
Cutler: 2 first rounds, 3rd rd and Kyle Orton
Franchise QB after 50 years: Priceless
