After what was a highly anticipated, and at times poorly executed, debut season with the Chicago Bears, the importance of Jay Cutler to the Chicago Bears offense and overall success has never been higher.

Sometimes compared to Brett Favre for maintaining the gunslinger mentality (but not for his past success on the field), Cutler will face his toughest NFL challenge yet. He has the arm, but does he have the fortitude to carry the explosive Martzfense, and execute it with a precision that he lacked in 2009?

My answer would be "Sure, why can't he?"

You would think with six Pro Bowl appearances, a Defensive Player of the Year award and 1,406 career tackles, Chicago Bears middle linebacker Brian Urlacher has cemented his place as one of the best linebackers in the National Football League.

Yet, after 10 solid seasons as the leader of the Bears defense, Urlacher still has many so called experts doubting his play for this upcoming season. Calling into question his age, injury history and overall decline in skills. The epitome of ‘what have you done for me lately’.

As the 2010 NFL Draft was falling I'll admit I was hoping Georgia Tech safety Morgan Burnett would make it to Chicago at #75.  After he was plucked by the Packers I was initially ticked off, but then I realized that the Bears would most definitely be selecting Major Wright, and I was OK with that.  In fact I was more than OK after taking some time to think about it.

To say our offensive line needed help last year would be like saying you might want to pack sunscreen for that upcoming vacation to the Sahara. We had a right tackle attempting to learn the left gaurd position on the fly, and do so alongside an aged left tackle that who still had plenty of power. The downside is there was a better chance of Izzy getting a blocking a field goal in a game than Orlando Pace blocking the defensive end if there was any kind of speed move involved.

Saying that Chris Williams will be a game changer for the Chicago Bears this year may be the understatement of the season, and the season hasn't even started yet. Follow me below the fold where we'll take a better look at our starting left tackle for the next decade, and why the man I lovingly refer to as CDub is going to make the league take notice this year.

On the opening day of free agency, the Bears inked Defensive End Julius Peppers to a $91.5 million dollar deal. 

The 6-foot-7 Peppers brings uncanny athletic ability but questionable consistency, along with the 81 sacks he collected in eight seasons with Carolina -- 10½ last year. In Chicago, he'll get to play alongside Lance Briggs, Urlacher and Tommie Harris and give a much-needed boost to a defense that ranked 17th overall and tied for 13th in sacks with 35.

In 2006, the Chicago Bears used their 2nd round draft pick on a cornerback from Miami, a decision that was initially not too popular with the fanbase.  But, the emergence of a superstar would occur that year, as Devin Hester electrified the entire league with his kick and punt return prowess.

He ended his rookie year tallying five return TDs (3 punt returns and 2 kickoffs), leaving his fingerprint as one of the most dangerous playmakers in the NFL.
