This is the kind of pick I'd expect from Jerry and in most years it would be a huge BUST. But we now have a QB so maybe JA's prototypical blazer with a huge upside makes sense now. Let's just hope he isn't a huge pussy like Bradley. I like the pick given our team make-up now.

Jerry rolled the dice on Melton and lost out, IMO. I think Melton would've been available in the 5th round. Damn it.

They're And I stopped worrying about being a dick here long ago.

This guy is a "Jerry fell in love with him" guy. I hope I'm wrong or we're able to trade off some of our excess DL for picks next year. Otherwise, we've got a lot of guys already that Marinelli was supposed to be able to "coach up" and we're giving up on them. I reserve the right to change my mind as I read more about him but right now I'm kinda pissed off.

8 picks left in this draft and 2 are right around the corner, so you're 100% right. We'll get a lot of value but I sure hope the next 4 picks aren't DT's.

Maybe we're going to play a JUMBO defense. 11 DT's on the field at all times.

Oddly, I agree. And this kid is a freak. I'm confused as to whether this is a DE or DT though. I think he's a better fit at DE.

Don't know. He'd be my pick too, if he's still there at our #4. Don't think he'll make it though.

I like the player but we certainly didn't address one of our top needs.

ABOUT TIME! I got sick of listening to him slobber all over Favre's jock these last 15 years or so. The last time he was actually good was the mid-80's! I guess not having Favre around to blow constantly was too much for the old boy. Hasta la vista.

This schedule isn't easy boys. The ranking is thrown way off because we get to play the Lyin's twice. There isn't anything easy about it beyond the 0-32 the Lyin's represent. If we win 10 or 11 games in that schedule we'll have earned every bit of our playoff berth. Mark my words, the problem with this year's team is going to be defense. Our secondary isn't strong and we can't rush the passer. We'll be scoring more which will help our D but I'm worried we let that side of the ball get old and we've hung our hat on Tommy in the middle who, quite frankly, ain't git'n er done.

I guess it depends on why he got waived.

Thanks man. One correction: The glass is nearly completely full. Life goes on.

Couldn't agree more. But the question was what are the ramifications and at this point, there aren't any. And I'm not sure they'll want to go out there and extend him with a big deal right away. Too many guys have disappeared after getting the big check... I'd say you sit down with him, be very honest, and tell him you'll do a deal with him in one year. That means with 2 left on his contract which is very fair. I'd then use the cap space we have available now to bring in a Marvin Harrison and front load other contracts for vets we want to extend today. Leaving ample space in next year's cap. (Note: I'm assuming above there won't be an uncapped year. I believe both sides will get a deal done in collective bargaining. Now is not the time, with the economy being what it is, for either side to chance killing this golden goose.)

Did George W Bush assume the Presidency again!?!?!

Had to go through hell for the last several years before I decided to move on and divorce my wife. My son and I are living together and his mom is still working on staying sane/sober. The energy one expends in these circumstances is unreal. But everything was final in February and my son is doing great in school and is otherwise a very well adjusted 10 year old. Life is good.

As of right now, there aren't any financial ramifications to my knowledge. Cutler will be in the 4th year of a 6 year deal he signed as a rookie. So he's going to get paid something like a million dollars which is peanuts these days. Of course, the Bears will probably sign him up long term but they don't have to do anything with this long left on the contract.

Been busy getting my life in order. But THIS was enough to bring me in for a looksee. What a day!

JEEBUS!!! WHO ARE YOU? THIS CAN'T BE NFO!!!! No way you're THIS positive... EVER!

Life is good.

Not perfect. Just don't want the BIGGEST douche in the NFL on my team. A little class would be great. I'm not looking for boy scouts but this jackass is beyond reclamation.

I agree. He's a turd and with our offense he'd go nuts almost immediately. He needs someone throwing him the ball with a high frequency or he freaks. I'd rather go after almost any other WR in FA than TO.

In my mind his success is mostly due to the system and the other talent around him. He'd turn into a lump of shit with the Bears... Now that I've expressed an opinion, you can expect NFO to show up in a few minutes to say that Cassel is the second coming of John Elway. Three... Two... One...............

I won't waste my time in a tit for tat here. Your reputation here is clear. You bitch about EVERYTHING no matter what. I point out things the team needs to work on without questioning the entire system and all of the coaches and player personnel staff. I have a little faith, you have none. You'd rather piss on everything each and every time the team modestly disappoints. I think we have a solid group here and the window is closing on the D talent wise, as happens to most teams as they age. The Patriots are the only team out there that doesn't seem to need to rebuild every now and then. Just be a little more even and fair and you won't get called Chicken Little.
