What a joke, I hope the drama sinks them.

Your #4 pick is interesting. Otherwise looks pretty good.

I thought he was taking blame by stating what type of receiver Hester is (not leading him as a go-get it receiver). He is not throwing him under the bus - and yes, Hester should've at least made an attempt to break up the INT.

Another thing to consider is the Bears don't want to reveal too much of their offense too soon. Right now there is very little film on Cutler with the Bears for other teams to use. This will be a huge advantage to start the season.

Also realize that Buffalo was on their 2nd preseason game. So they were able to use some more complex defense designs compared to their basic coverages. The Bears were without Forte and Olsen, which is a significant amount of our offense. Looking at the replays, Buffalo had a bunch of players in coverage on almost every play. I am actually more worried about our passing defense than anything else. Buffalo was putting on a clinic vs our defense.

Yeah, Buffalo QB's are 18-21.

I am also curious to see the Special Teams and returns without using Hester.

I also thought Vick to Cleveland would've had the best synergy.

He could say that he meant preseason opening day starter.

I like Bears over Titans as well.

but he manages the game very well..... 3 Interceptions, 9-16 for 89 yards with most of his throws being short dink and dunks. I believe his longest completion was 19 yards. They have tried to mask the fact that he has struggled in training camp, but the cat is out of the bag now. I would not be surprised if Simms was the opening day QB. I hope Orton rebounds, but it doesn't look too promising.

For how popular he already is and with the addition of Cutler, I don't see how he is a true sleeper. I just think he will outproduce all his projections this year. I doubt you will get him in Round 10, but if you do, congrats.

I hope Cutler is in on the decision making process. QB-WR is one of those relationships that may be hard to gauge from an outside perspective. Cutler knows better than anyone if his throws are where he wanted them and would also know if the WR's are actually running crisp routes based on the play called. Half of the time (from an outside perspective) you can't tell whether the QB was wrong or the WR was wrong. So I like the idea that you have someone on the inside giving their 2 cents. It also works the same way for QB. I would think a team would get some input from WR's on a QB battle just to reinforce what they are already thinking. It can't hurt.

When I initially saw it, I was thought it was Olsen.

Worst article title ever, geez. http://www.nfpost.com/Biggs-Bears-tight-en...r-the-year.html

1.5%? Not human. 110 routes? How do you defend against that?

I still think he should be used in certain situations, but I guess with all the other options, there is no reason to risk injury.

Hester is too good of a playmaker not to be at least above-average. He may not ever become a true #1, but with the way Olsen is looking, the Bears may not even need one.

A new Dr. Seuss movie perhaps?

Yeah, I posted it in the TC thread: http://www.talkbears.com/forums/index.php?...ost&p=66619

Yeah, I saw that article too, then realized he actually had some videos posted.

Alex Brown has some TC videos on his site: http://www.alexbrown96.com/

On a good note, at least we have some intelligent posters on here who usually back up their comments with valid facts and arguments - and even though most are excited to add Cutler, you usually don't see the OMFGWEZRGONAGO16N0NWINDASUPABOWL posts!

I think of it this way. 7 wins would be a disappointment, and 13 wins would be a surprise. However, I think we have more of a shot at 13 than we do 7. Unless this team gets crushed by injuries, I can't see us winning less than we did last year. Also, by saying Cutler is ringing up the points so that will work against the defense is silly. How many times did we have 3 and outs last year? Or drives lasting only 5 or 6 downs? Cutler is going to allow the Bears to extend drives and keep the defense fresh. That is huge and cannot be overlooked.

From the videos, Hester looks like he is running with more authority or in another gear. Confidence and/or experience starting to set it?
