Everybody knew that it was only a matter of time before Jay Cutler left Mile High. The question was more where then when. Well we know now that Cutler will be heading to Chicago. The Bears probably feel like a kid who just got a brand toy for Christmas. Yeah this is like if a kid received a sports car in the morning.
The Bears have been looking for a solid starting quarterback for about a couple decades now.
Here's a list of some of the quaterbacks who paid a visit to Chi-town.
Harbaugh, Tomczak1991: Harbaugh1992: Harbaugh, Peter Tom Willis, Will Furrer1993: Harbaugh, Willis1994: Erik Kramer, Steve Walsh1995: Kramer 1996: Kramer, Dave Kreig1997: Kramer, Rick Mirer1998: Kramer, Steve Stenstrom, Moses Moreno1999: Shane Matthews, Cade McNown, Jim Miller2000: McNown, Matthews, Miller2001: Miller, Matthews2002: Miller, Chris Chandler, Henry Burris2003: Kordell Stewart, Chandler, Rex Grossman2004: Grossman, Jonathan Quinn, Craig Krenzel, Chad Hutchinson2005: Kyle Orton, Grossman2006: Grossman2007: Grossman, Brian Griese, Orton2008: Orton, Grossman.
I give credit to Rex Grossman. He was able to lead his team to the Superbowl, but in his 2007 campaign Grossman stayed true to his name. He threw four touchdowns and seven interceptions and had a quarterback rating of 67.1.
The old saying goes defense wins championship but whats the point if you can score any touchdowns. Year after year you can always find the Bears near the bottom of most offensive rankings. Well, except rushing attempts and yards of course. Cutler will change all that though. He is an accurate QB with a cannon for a arm. He won eight games with an imaginary defense. In other words: The man has skillz.
I am interested to see how Cutler will do without his stud wide out Brandon Marshall. The fourth year receiver out of Central Florida had 1265 yards, 104 receptions, six touchdowns, and a trip Hawaii. Last year Devin Hester only had 665 yards receiving. Hopefully Cutler can change that.

Very true and don't get me wrong, hester is good, but i just don't see him being an elite wide even with cutler. Unless they can work with hester and really teach him wide skills, his speed is going to continue to be his only weapon. Now if the bears made an effort to go out and get torry holt, as a viking fan, i would definitely be worried about the vikings chances of playoffs next season. Sage rosenfels is an upgrade from the bust tarvaris jackson but he's still not that franchise qb. Why the vikings didn't fight to get tj housh is beyond me. Overall, the bears addition of cutler could be a steal if they can get a wide to compliment him.
