Angelo Realistic About Jay Culter

95% of Bears fans would say that when we traded for Jay Cutler, we traded for a shot at a Super Bowl in a couple of years. Maybe that is true and maybe not, but don't blame Jerry Angelo. He is the most down to earth person when it comes to what Cutler can do for the Bears.
He knows that the offensive line will have to be better or the trade will be for naught. He knows Devin Hester will have to find his playbook or all the talk of Cutler's superhuman arm will be forgotten. He knows the playcalling better improve to match Cutler's ability. He knows that if the defense is as bad as it was last year, Cutler will suffer as did Kyle Orton in some very painful defeats. What Angelo's banking on is that Cutler will shake off the late-season woes of 2008, take advantage of the Bears being better in all the aforementioned areas, and not just make the playoffs - which they could have done by keeping Orton - but go far in the playoffs instead. And that's possible.

Hysterical
When I first saw this comic I almost lost my lunch.

No need to wreck it...
I think SackMan deserves credit for that find.

Nice
But when I posted a simialr video twice just like this cartoon, I got chastised for it. Hilarious.

It was the bleating when people didn’t instantly anoint you with Cutler-like status that led to chastisement, I believe.

Man, our local Bears blog family dysfunction pales in comparison to some of the crap
…going on at The Daily Norsemen this week. Makes us seem downright well-adjusted!

it's nice to be realistic but
I have consumed gallons of Bears kool-aid this offseason. Looking forward to not turning off the TV if we happen to fall behind by 2 TD’s as there is now a somewhat reasonable chance to storm back and win. Only 30 days till training camp!

I don't understand the whole "mortgaging the future" theory
I was an Orton fan, but let’s face it, this guy’s talent is superior. We basically got him as our first round choice for this year (who would have been a better choice coming out of school) so all we’re really talking about is next year’s #1 and a 2nd rounder. If he helps turn Hester into a #1 receiver and Bennett into a solid pro, that, in my mind, more than makes up for those two picks. In addition, if things work out for the best, we are a much more attractive option for future free agents. I think Angelo’s choice was a much better one than hoping college players make the transition to the pros, which essentially what he did.

Agreed
I was all for keeping the picks and spending the first round choice on a WR(which i’m guessing would’ve been Maclin), but after everything that’s happened and all the FA moves we’ve made, I firmly believe we made the right decision regarding Cutler.
