Would it be something if the Bears could get Warner and Boldin?
Warner could teach Orton and the others a few things.
Hire Warner as the QB coach if he decides to retire from playing!

Jay Cutler to the Bears?
More and more it's looking like Jay Cutler will not be playing for the Broncos next season, as he is getting more and more upset with them over shopping him for Cassel. So I ask you, what do you think the chances are that the Bears will make a run at him?
If they don't, what would you like to see them during free agency? Byron Leftwich is a free agent now. He was very impressive at Pittsburgh this last season when he had to stand in for Big Ben once or twice. I could see him coming to Chicago and making an impact.

The Bears are just like any other Chicago sports team- they are cheap and hate to spend money. Don't get me wrong I love most of our sports teams, but sometimes we have to spend the big buck to get some marque players here. Chicago teams sign players you were in their prime 4 and 5 years prior to them joining the team

That statement hasn't been true for a while.
They spend money, just not always wisely. |

Broncos' Cutler needs to realize that everyone is expendable
Colts are ripping on him. but I think he is good.
I like to look at TD's * Sacks to determine a good QB. Cutler keeps getting drilled, but also keeps scoring TDs! 250 Passing TDs -sacks index for NFL career. That is the best ratio of any NFL QB.
Broncos defense is what sux.

There's beauty in the solace of not giving a damn.

The best QB on earth is a wasted asset if he has a lousy receiving corps to throw to. When you absolutely positively have to make a completion and your go-to guy is a lummox of a tight end like Greg Olson, then you've got other problems you need to fix before setting your sights on the quarterback. And I don't mean to rip on Greg Olson, he's a fine TE, but when your best receiver is a TE, you've got problems. With a quality offensive line, receiving corps and backfield around him, I suspect that Orton would be a perfectly adequate quarterback. Until the O-line is shored up and quality receivers are in place, there's no point in trying to do any better than Orton at QB.

John Elway to Shannon Sharpe was a pretty effective combination... |
