The Bears added Jay Cutler to an offense that already sports the breakout running back of last year's class, one of the NFL's fastest rising tight ends, a very solid offensive line, and a defense that still has a few former pro bowlers left on it. As for the knocks against them, as far as receivers go I don't see it being a big problem. Cutler's biggest target last year was a rookie who had an amazing year, the quaterback makes the receivers, not the other way around. He's playing with a former teamate in Earl Bennett who is benefitting greatly from his addition, Devin Hester has been looking more and more like a real starting receiver and should also benefit from a quarterback who can make the long throws that make him so dangerous, not to mention that other receivers have been stepping up to the plate so far in the off-season. I highly doubt the receivers are going to be as much of a problem as everyone thinks they are. And the defense, we haven't exactly been standing still. We have a starting linebacking corps of Lance Briggs, Brian Urlacher, and Pisa Tinoisamoa, not exaclty lightweights. Our D-line is going into the season rested and ready for the most part,if one or more of the following, Tommie Harris, Mark Anderson, Adawale Ogunleye, or Alex Brown can make a return to prime form our d should be much improved. One of the biggest problems we've had is pressure from the front four, and we've been working on that all offseason. Remember, we were still one of the best units against the run in the NFL last season, and many players on the team right now made a Superbowl run two years ago WITH an underperforming offense. If we can just shore up our pass defense we'll most definitely be contenders for the Superbowl.
Yes Jay Cutler really made Denver's recievers because last time I saw Cutler made Brandon Marshall do all his great things and Eddie really did great on his own.(remember the Jets and Browns game?) If Jay Cutler is so good where was he in the last 3 games? Surely He couldn't beat the Bills? THE BILLS? Man all he really needed to do was get the ball to Stokely in that last throw. Listen you can call me a hater but the NFLN bashed Cutler hard during the season only to come out and say he is a rising star? Sorry but I wouln't call A 17-20 QB who bombed the last three games of the season a rising star. Also please don't tell me his TD to INT ratio cause in the end it all comes down to who got the W.
Other then that I think Baltimore can win the superbowl. Them or the Colts.
