Bears fans....what are your thoughts?

[mdn82 25,628]

I am a Bears fan.  I am not so much a fan of Cutler.  That said, I still think it was the right deal if we were going for it, which we are.  We have an offense in place, and cheap.  We have a clean slate on defense.  We have a GM who built this offense for the most part in under 2 years.  The key players on this offense have a window in the same area as Cutler.  Getting a young QB doesn't make sense.  There isn't a FA QB better than Cutler.  Trestman has done wonders with Cutler in his one year.  I am excited to see what he can do beyond.  I guarantee this isn't just an Emery decision.  Trestman was brought here for Cutler.  If he couldn't do anything with him or felt like he couldn't, he would have got that contract.  Everywhere Trestman has been, the QB has played better than before he got there.  I don't think he plays out the contract either.  Only one QB who has signed a big contract has in the last 20 years.  Usually, they restructure after a couple of years or get cut.  That is what will happen here.  He won't even get that big of a bump in pay from before.  I know people don't realize that.  That is why I honestly am not that stressed about this.

No point in arguing with that dude, Dalton, he'll resort to name calling soon... 

Alright?

I should add, if anyone has seen the deal, it is a 3 year guaranteed deal with 4 option years at the end.  3 years/$54 million Guaranteed, and 4 very expensive option years.  At most this is a 3 year deal.  He will either re-negotiate, or be released after his $18 million per year, which is an increase of $3 million per year.  That is of course if he got no signing bonus, which we all know that is not the case.  His per year salary is actually less than what it was last year.  So, that is why I am saying its a great deal.

I hadn't seen where it had 4 yrs as an option. If they're smart they'll find a young QB to groom over 3 yrs then cut cutler.

Why in the world would you want to start over with a rookie QB when you have the offensive core we have right now?

[/quote] Did you miss where I said groom over 3 years? I'm guessing so or you wouldn't have made that response. That'd be the smart route to go for Chicago and anyone that follows football would likely agree. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

If we get a rookie QB, Alshon, BMarsh, and Forte won't be around in 3 years. Simple as that.

You're contradicting yourself now. You asked about a rookie with this core then turn around and say the core won't be there.

Forte and Alshon will likely still be there in 3 years.
