Dan LeFevour will pass both hanie and McCown (if he joins) on the depth chart. and Jay Cutler if he throws 20 more ints.

They must hand out maps to Panther players that only have Chicago as a destination.

Here is an article from Lance Briggs that says with the Harris signing as well as the Peppers signing they will contend for a championship. It would suck for us if they essentially take some of our key veteran players and go deep in the playoffs especially if we go nowhere this year. Maybe after playing here McCown knows something about the potential for Chicago to excel this year and wants to be part of it.

Let me find a link where EVERY CHICAGO BEARS FAN/ANALYST/PLAYER/REPORTER said the exact same thing when they traded for Cutler.

see what I did there?

Then again, maybe McCown is just desperate for a job.

cool, just means more compensation for us...most likely.

Problem last year in addition to all the Ints was a poor offensive line and porous defense. The offensive line is still suspect but like Moore last year, if the defense plays well, you don't have to score 30 points to win. Martz will fix the offense and now with the defensive restored they will likely win the NFC North this year. Especially if Favre doesn't come back.

Probably so. LOL

Wouldn't blame him a bit for wanting to go there. At least Chicago seems willing to spend the money to build a playoff team. Fox likes veterans and that team is full of them. Given we beat them routinely I suspect that they could do a lot worse than hire Fox.

Ever think the bad defense can be linked back to Cutlers turnovers? It's hard to play good defense when you're on the field twice as long as you should be.

Their offensive line isn't "suspect." It's terrible, and will be the reason their offense struggles. Cutler/Forte/etc will not be able to be successful with that offensive line. I think their defense will be outstanding, possibly top 5, but that wouldn't be enough.

and... No they will not likely win the NFC North. Even if Favre is back, the Packers will more than likely take the division. Bears will be #3 in the division.

Bet Pep has it written into his contact.....No Fox.
