taylor is an upgrade over forte, although the coaching staff will likely stick with the young "stud" (laughable, Chi could have drafted Chris Johnson rather than forte, instead they choose that tackle from Vandy..haha)

Peppers will wreak havoc in that division. Det and Gb have 2 of worst o-lines in the leauge. He should get about 6 sacks just against those teams.

They now say they wont get Rolle, but that would have been icing on cake anyways.

Manumaleuna is a great blocking TE.

Good moves so far.

i agree on the rb upgrade. peppers is good but at his age i'm not sure he should've gotten a 6 year deal....esp at the amount he's getting.

nice getting Brandon Manumaleuna ..... i dont want to get rid of olsen though.....him and cutler make a decent duo, not to mention there good friends since cutler came over here last season.

Bears are getting stacked and the Chargers are going downhill...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

no, 3-4 would have made more sense.

not gonna happen. Manumaleuna is specifically a blocking TE. They understand what they have with Olsen. I expect him to have a Vernon Davis type breakout year in 2010. Manumaleuna is essentially a backup and jumbo package player

Chargers are going downhill...

yes they are, and if they trade Vincent Jackson, that will be the last straw

I say we move Hester back to KR/PR on a full time basis and convert Olsen to WR. Olsen can't block for shit, but he does an alright job of running routes and has decent hands. He's a pretty big target for Cutler as well. Also, this will allow us to get Manu, Dez and Olsen on the field simultaneously at times.

I'm really looking at it from this perspective; We won't get good value for Olsen in trade. He's not the elite TE that we wanted him to be, and every team in the NFL knows it. We know he can catch the ball, so I see no reason to flat out give him away for a mid round draft pick. Trying him out @ WR beats losing him for a 4th rd pick that may never see the field...and if it works out, we'll have solidified the WR position a little while addressing protection issues and giving Hester the chance to recapture the magic he once had.

with all the new quality players theres def going to be some changes in positions..... olsen at wr though and hester at pr/kr, idk, olsen doesnt have the speed like hester does. i say hester does pr/kr and wr..if he would do all 3 though he'd get less minutes obv......make him earn his money.

spending $121million on 3 players that have their best years well behind them...reminds me of Orlando Pace and Jay Cutler last year, how'd that turn out?

still no game changing wide receiver...

and Lovie Smith is still coaching the team...

Fail

Peppers is still a beast and has showed no signs of slowing, and Taylor looked as good as AP at times last season. Any time you can steal depth from a rival, you take that chance. Also, Manu is a big bodied guy that'll do nothing but block. He'll help protect Jay. All solid acquistions for the Bears. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Pace sucked last year. No big surprise given the circumstances. However, lumping Cutler in with that baggage is stupid. Jay Cutler's future is bright. With protection and a solid running game, he'll be winning games like crazy. It may not happen in 2010, but it'll happen eventually. We're beginning to put pieces together and it'll pay off at some point. I'd also like to point out the many injuries the Bears had at key positions last season. It's not like Jay and Orlando were solely to blame for our shortcomings.

still no game changing wide receiver...

How so? In case you didn't notice, Jay threw 8 TDs in the final 2 games of the 2009 season, 4 of them to Devin Aromashodu. That's game changing like a motherfucker.

But seriously, I want a "stud" WR in Chicago too. The problem is they don't grow on trees. We made a move for Boldin last season and it fell through. Shit happens, but the WR position will be addressed when the opportunity presents itself.

and Lovie Smith is still coaching the team.

touche. I dislike Lovie, but he has faired well with us in the past. Maybe it can happen again. Worst case scenario, he sucks again this year and we sign Cowher in 2011.

Yeah, your post was bad. I won't hold it against you.
