He's acting like he's already made the team. I hope they let him down gently.

Marmol's problems have always been in his head. When's he's on, he's unhittable. When he isn't concentrating, he's walking everyone.

Stop that, or someone will write a "Go, Hawks, Go" song that will plague us like "Go, Cubs, Go."

NO ONE wants Tebow in Chicago. Not anyone in the entire Bears organization, not with a new coaching staff and system to build.
Maybe the White Sox want him.

This is a billion dollar franchise.
When they start looking for a new head coach, they have to offer big $$$ or they won't attract all the right players.
They need the Steinbrenner mentality, in both money and results: spend money and force people to produce and produce now. If they want to win a championship once every three decades, they can keep going the way they are.

Get rid of the last of the Jim Hendry stink. PLEASE....

Don't GIVE a CRAPPPP. QB rating of 140.1? REALLY don't give a crapppp.
You must remember one thing: Chicago is FULL of really poor sportswriters and sportscasters. Only a handful of them are any good. When a tv station makes Lou "Mr. Charisma" Canellis their lead sportscaster, something is very wrong in the world.

Of course, what they refuse to do is look for offensive line help. Too late now!

Damn! I thought this was about J'Marcus Webb of the Bears.

Here we go again. A host of bad sports journalists and ignorant fans keep blaming Cutler.
Once you read the stat that he was sacked seven times (not to mention the knock downs, hurry ups, etc.) anyone with half a brain should be able to deduce that this is STILL an offensive line problem.
The Bears organization STILL refuses to admit that they have a talent deficit on their O-line.
If you put Jay Cutler on the Pats or Giants, you have 4,000 passing yards.
If you put Manning or Brady on the Bears, you get what happened last night.
As the Giants have taught the Pats--in TWO Super Bowls now--if we keep knocking your QB on his ass, we win, no matter who he is.
A new offensive scheme is nice--anything is better than Mike Martz's thirty-year-old system-- but that STILL does not negate that football is a game of one-on-one matchups.
If you look at this weeks SI, there's an article on offensive linemen. In the sidebar, they feature Uche Nwaneri of the Jags (1st round pick), Eric Woob of the Bills (!st round pick), Amini Silatolu (2nd Round pick)......and J'Marcus Webb. Seventh round draft pick.
You cannot coach lack of talent. You cannot make a player have more talent by working and working what's not there.
The Bears have come out of a decade where they had the worst GM in football. He virtually ruined whatever potential they had by his incompetence. In picking talent, he was the anti-Belichick.
This is NOT a QB problem. Let me repeat that: This is NOT a quarterback problem. This is a magic thinking problem. A denial problem. Your offensive line stinks and you refuse to admit that your organization made mistakes and you won't do anything about it.
In what looks to be Lovie Smith's last year as coach of the Chicago Bears, expect more of the same. Against lesser quality teams, they will score. Against tougher teams with a good pass rush, expect Cutler to get sacked, hit, and run for his life.

Man, a lot of you people here know NOTHIN'.....Yeah, he's got a beef. If he brings them down there, he should at least get a shot at bringing it in. Remember--the Bears O-line STILL sucks. They have the same personnel, but only a different scheme. And Bush is no Forte. He's a four yards and a cloud of dust guy.

The players will revolt--and rightly so--at an 18-game season. Goodell seems to turn a deaf ear to some things. It took multiple pressure from all sides to force him to address the concussion problem. Go ahead, shorten the pre-season. But don't add those games on at the other end.

You got it. There was an article in the NY Daily News a couple of days ago that Dempster should read. It gave a non-Chicago perspective of what the league thought of him. Basically, it was:

"The feeling among baseball people seemed to be that Dempster is a nice pickup for the Rangers, but not necessarily a postseason stopper that Cliff Lee could have been."

Dempster thinks he's in the Cliff Lee-league of pitchers. The Dodgers should relax.

Just GET RID OF HIM already. He's the last vestige of the Jim Hendry, never gonna make it, loveable losers of the past decade.

Get rid of Dempster. Now. I wish they would keep Garza, though.

The Bears are NOTORIOUS--and have been for decades--for cheapness. Old man Halas threw "nickels around like manhole covers." EVERY other team can come to terms with their RB but the Bears CAN'T. The one thing we don't know is what his agent is asking for but if it's more than $18-$20 mil guaranteed, he's not going to get it. If the Bears are balking on that amount, THAT is THEIR problem, not Forte's.
I do know this: the Bears are NOT a playoff team without him.

It's fundamentally WRONG if Carlos Boozer is not on that list. He's personally responsible for very few wins.

That article was written by waste-of-space Sun-Times writer Joe Cowley, who usually spends his days looking for underlings he can get fired. You might as well ask a five-year-old for his opinion on the Cubs. You'd get a better answer.

Rudy didn't have much to work with, now, did he?

For Kidd or Nash, you bet. If they can find a team to take Boozer, who's quickly becoming the Bulls version of Alfonso Soriano. Hamilton is good, but he's hurt too much.
