With all the hype leading up to the 2006 NFL Draft, the focus was on Vince Young and Matt Leinart. Which one is better? Which one will have the better career? Well the answer so far is neither. That's because Jay Cutler flew under the radar. To this date, Cutler has had the best career of the three quarterbacks. Young who was expected to be selected in the first two picks, fell a tad ...

Last year showed the weaknesses of the Bears defense. They couldn't cover, they couldn't tackle, and they couldn't stop anybody. They were torched in games against Minnesota, Cincinnati, and Arizona. So, one of the main focuses of the off-season was to upgrade the defense. So far, so good, right? The Bears secondary was one of the worst in the NFL last season, and struggled heavily. Charles Tillman was the only ...

Anquan Boldin, Santonio Holmes, Brandon Marshall all were traded this past month. And all the Bears did was pass on them. All three of these receivers will be at the top of the depth chart for their new team. And all would be the number one guy in Chicago. So why did Angelo and the Bears pass on these guys? I mean besides Marshall, the asking price wasnt too steep was it? Boldin ...

Last year when the Bears acquired Jay Cutler from the Denver Broncos, the first question to pop into everyone's head was: Who will catch Cutler's passes? That answer still wasn't clear until midway through last season. Devin Hester had his moments as a receiver, but injuries plagued him in the later part of the season. He's has not been a true No. 1 receiver and never will be. To fully ...

We have seen this before. Players come and players go. But with the Chicago Bears organization, the players who leave seem to have success elsewhere. I understand the business of sports and running a professional team. You need to get new, fresh players in while balancing a salary and trying to save money. But with the Bears all but making it official in letting Alex Brown go, that decision could turn on them. With ...

The Chicago Bears are the ideal team to play the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving this upcoming season, according to sources around the NFL. The Bears haven't played on Thanksgiving since their 21-7 loss at Dallas in 2004. It's the Cowboys turn to host nNFC team and Detroit would be hosting the AFC team. The Cowboys do have the Bears on their schedule for a home game, leading all signs pointing ...

As the Bears released former Pro Bowl corner back Nathan Vasher, that opened up the doors for Zack Bowman. Bowman started last year after Vasher was benched.Now in March, Bowman knows he's the No. 2 guy in Chicago already—possibly a confidence booster. Bowman will line up next alongside veteran corner back Charles Tillman. But are the Bears set at corner back? Bowman has about a year-and-a-half of limited experience, while Tillman has veteran ...

This is just a fun thought. It’s easy to put the blame on a lot of things or people for this disastrous Chicago Bears season. Is Chris Harris one of them? You can blame the coaching, the players, or even Jay Cutler. But what if a simple trade that Jerry Angelo made in the 2007 training camp was never made? What if they would have kept this particular player instead of ...

It's been a real long time since the Chicago Bears have had a true number one wide receiver. But the Bears don't necessarily need a true number one receiver to be a good team. A mixture of talent on this Bears receiving corps can turn into something special. They have talented receivers all over the place, but they just need the time to develop. A true number one doesn't ...

Going into the 2010 free agency period, the Chicago Bears had one thing on their mind: Winning. They signed defensive end Julius Peppers, running back Chester Taylor, and tight end Brandon Manumaleuna. Those three players should have a major impact on this team, not only in games but in the Bears draft strategy. Before free agency started, many mock drafts had the Bears taking a defensive end with their first pick. The ...
