Jay Cutler is a BEAR!!


TANTRIC-NINJA

Recommended Posts

i actually thought nicks would have been a really good pick for the bears at 18.

he's shown he doesn't need speed to get open, is a big strong receiver who can block, has great hands, and would have been perfect playing in that poo storm that is soldier field.

oh well.

this really brings me back to a rant ive made before in other places that teams like the bears have to dictate everything about their team to fit their environment which, unless they build a dome, will never change. investing this much into a quarterback without any real threat at WR when you play like 6 games a year on lake michigan in varying degrees of winter takes away a natural advantage.

I'm sure Cutler will soon be longing for the beach-like weather of Mile High Stadium

i mean it's the same thing as the meadowlands.

if anyone has ever had the misfortune of watching a game in that poo hole you know the wind blows from like nine different directions and is much worse than playing in buffalo

orton worked his ass off to become a good qb and put up very respectable numbers last year with limited resources in terms of receivers, playcalling, and offensive line play.

it just seems incredibly reactionary to mortgage two first rounders for an improvement at a position that isn't a need without the tools around to really help him. then again i love first rounders with a passion and in hindsight still really don't like the otah trade but whatev

Wow, like many have said, it seems like a lot to give up.... but then again with an outstanding young Cutler + and young Forte, looks like they have a good foundation to work with for years to come.

2009 1st + 3rd, and a 2010 1st, + Orton... Now that's how you make a trade. Props to Denver for pulling that off.

Weren't some of us ecstatic about the prospect of trading Pep for 2 - 2nd rounders to NE a few weeks back? After seeing that, I'd feel violated :P

Cutler, Forte, Olsen, and Hester all young guys coming around at the same time could make for a grouping that goes down in Bears history

    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
