Pace Yourself Cutler, Chicago Will Be Fun!

Here is one of the many articles that will be written in the next couple of days about the big trade between Denver and Chicago.

The Chicago Bears traded away their first round picks in 2009 and 2010 as well as their third round pick, for Jay Cutler and a fifth round pick.

The Bears have been searching for a long time solution to the quarterback position ever since they lost Jim Mcmahon, and now has come the day.

The Bears have gotten two great players in one day: Cutler and future Hall of Famer Orlando Pace.

This trade seems like a dream come true for all of us Bears fans, but I have a couple of issues with Cutler.

First of all, we have a problem at the wide receiver position and it doesn't matter who the man under center is if they don't have someone to catch the football.

The Bears have Devin Hester, who is developing—but not well. The Bears also have young perspective Earl Bennet who was one of Cutler's favorite targets back at Vanderbilt, as well as Chris Williams at tackle—who used to protect Cutler back in the day.

Cutler is coming into a run-happy team, but the main reason Denver was such a pass-happy team is because they went through six different running backs in one year.

The Bears have young Tulane standout Matt Forte in the backfield, and a defense that—in most cases—is one of the best in the league.

Cutler also has seven-time Pro Bowler Pace protecting him, even though he is getting older and his production has been going down because of all of his injuries.

Kyle Orton was a great player here in Chicago and had an amazing 21-12 record as the Bears starter. He was a team leader and was thought highly upon by all his teammates, except maybe Rex Grossman, and he was on his way to becoming this franchises face.

He will be missed here, but Denver now has a good player to replace Cutler—maybe not as good, but good.

The Bears need to go for just one more player in Free-Agency, Marvin Harrison or Torry Holt.

They need to get a proven wide receiver in Chicago, and either of those guys would make this team go full circle, or even both players.

I hope that his arrival in Chicago will bring in a Super Bowl.

GO BEARS!
