But it's not like the Bears have been hitting home runs on their first round picks.<BR/><BR/>Of the 9 first rounders they've drafted since 2000, only 3 have proven to be worth their salt (Olsen, Harris, Urlacher). Five others (Terrell, Columbo, Grossman, Haynes, and Benson) have been busts. And the jury's still out on Williams. Although a left tackle with chronic back problems probably isn't a good bet for the Pro Bowl any time soon.<BR/><BR/>So I'm happy they got a QB upgrade and only had to give up something they'd most likely squander anyway.Drewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5247037499744036971.post-34503218717453513592009-04-03T08:10:00.000-04:002009-04-03T08:10:00.000-04:00Well, I believe it is a great deal for the Bears. ...Well, I believe it is a great deal for the Bears. It will be fun to watch, anyway. And they might pick up a free agent receiver who otherwise wouldn't have considered the Bears. I think Cutler is a tremendous upgrade. It definitely changes everyone's perception of the Bears. I'm still SHOCKED that Angelo pulled this off. I'm glad they were willing to try this. Now let's see if it pays off.Rick Hagernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5247037499744036971.post-37954703317668121462009-04-02T22:06:00.000-04:002009-04-02T22:06:00.000-04:00I dunno, I thought the Bears problems were on the ...I dunno, I thought the Bears problems were on the offensive line, parts of the defense and the lack of a number 1 WR. Devin Hester, despite what the mob screams, is not an NFL reciever. He's an excellent kick returner and serviceable defender and that's about it. Olin Kruetz is getting old, they just signed Orlando Pace (who has missed...well, a lot)...I guess everyone forgot that when the Bears got Jay Cutler. (my question was...is he really worth two first round picks, a QB who did pretty well last year (and has a sweet neck beard) and a possible third rounder?
