Will Boldin come to Chicago? Not very likely. I think it is far more likely to see Holt come in, or even Harrison, than Boldin. Of course I thought Cutlerwould never be here either.
Ultimately unless the Bears can solve some of the other problems, bad defense, poor line (despite the signing of Pace) and poor wide receivers, it will stillbe a tough year. I dont think a whole lot has to be done to the D, because Cutler makes the offense so much more potent. The D can afford to give up morepoints cause Cutler can cover their butts.
Christmas came early this year, that much I am certain of.

Dudes, I think Plax is probably looking at some time. At least that is the rumor on the radio.

Black and Blue (and Cutler) all over

I don't know about you, but I can think of nothing better to do on a Friday morning than look at division-wide reaction to the Jay Cutler trade. With the NFC North still reverberating by Chicago's stunning acquisition, let's let 'er rip:
[table][tr][td] [table][tr][td] [table][tr][td]Podcast: Football Today[/td] [/tr][tr][td]Jeremy Green analyzesthe Jay Cutler trade for both the Bears and the Broncos. Did the Bears pay too much? What does this mean for the Broncos?[/td] [/tr][/table][/td] [/tr][/table][/td] [/tr][/table]
David Haugh of the Chicago Tribune puts it all in perspective: "Thursday marked the most exciting, significant day for the Bears since Super Bowl XLI. A 25-year-old Pro Bowl quarterback and a future Hall of Fame left tackle [Orlando Pace] in the same day? Welcome back to NFL relevancy, Chicago."
The Tribune's Rick Morrissey, on the other hand, isn't a big fan of the deal: "If Jay Cutler doesn't raise red flags, Bears fans, you are color blind. From all appearances and indications, he has the maturity level of larva."
Dan Pompei of the Tribune doesn't disagree with the move but notes the Bears must focus on "alternative forms" of player acquisition after the loss of three high draft choices. Pompei: "If draft picks indeed are the lifeblood of a team, the Bears will need to be on the lookout for warning signs of anemia."
This deal will seal the legacy of Bears general manager Jerry Angelo one way or the other, writes Gene Wojciechowski of ESPN.com. Wojciechowski: "You have to give Angelo credit for taking the plunge with Cutler. It was more than bold move; it was a move that will end up in the first or second paragraph of his obituary."
Brad Biggs of the Chicago Sun-Times comes up with the most interesting sidelight of the deal. Cutler's father, Jack, has had some not-so-nice things to say about Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner in recent years. According to multiple stories, Turner rescinded a scholarship offer to Cutler when he was the head coach at Illinois, forcing Cutler to scramble for a school. Jack Cutler called the move "dirty."
Drew Sharp of the Detroit Free Press calls the trade "typical Lions fate." Sharp: "Jay Cutler goes to Chicago. He's now guaranteed another Pro Bowl season because he'll face the Lions twice a season."
John Niyo of the Detroit News is at peace with the outcome for the Lions: "Mortgaging the future -- even for a 25-year-old potential star quarterback -- doesn't make sense when the future's all you've got."
The tide has turned in Green Bay, writes Greg A. Bedard of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: "The Bears, who trotted out 21 starting quarterbacks in the 16 years Brett Favre led the Green Bay Packers, now have the most talented and established quarterback in the division." (Paging Aaron Rodgers.)
Jim Souhan of the Star Tribune faults Vikings coach Brad Childress for choosing Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels over Cutler: "When it comes to quarterbacks, Childress has trouble telling the difference between Spam and Honey Baked Ham."
Sean Jensen of the St. Paul Pioneer Press quotes Vikings radio analyst Pete Bercich: "[The division] a toss-up right now, after putting him in there. But I think it's us by a nose. The Bears still have some serious holes to fill on defense. Brian Urlacher is becoming a liability. At the end of the year, if you watch him, he couldn't move as well, and he's lost a step. And they have critical

Cutler offers fourth-quarter upgrade

How would Chicago's season have turned out in 2008 had it not lost fourth-quarter leads at Carolina and against Tampa Bay during successive September weekends? If the rest of the season played out with no changes, the Bears would have won the NFC North with an 11-5 record.
ESPN Stats & Information offers a statistical comparison that could assuage that concern. Newly-acquired quarterback Jay Cutler had a 94.2 passer rating in the fourth quarter last season, more than 30 points higher than the Bears' combination of Kyle Orton and Rex Grossman. Here are the figures, courtesy Allison Wachs:

As much as I'd like Boldin to come over, I just don't see it happening. I'd like to see Holt come over, dude still has a lot left in the tank andwould certainly come with less baggage than Plax.
The Cutler trade makes the draft simple: patch up the defense, retool the line, and try to steal a receiver.

Hey guys, thank our pals, the Minnesota Vikings for making this deal possible
"The Bears also should send a thank-you to the Vikings complex in Eden Prairie, Minn., for their role in bringing Chicago its first franchise quarterback. Without the Vikings signing free-agent wideout Bernard Berrian to a $42 million contract last offseason, the Bears may not have received a compensatory third-round pick (99th) that surely made them feel more comfortable dealing their own third-rounder to Denver [in the Cutler trade]. As tough as it was to endure a 2008 season without Berrian as a deep threat, it was worthwhile if Cutler is the payoff."
Also, the math's been done, the two first rounders that we sent over, would be no better than a 3rd pick overall, logically, I'd do thatfor a proven quarterback.
And that 17-1 stat about the defense
Bear down boysssss

Yeah Plax is getting some jailtime,Bloomberg is not going to let this fly,stuff like this make politicians feel good about themselves.
But I do wonder what would we have to give up get Boldin.

Chances are slim to none with no first round picks. I dunno what we have to offer the Cards for Boldin. Holt on the other hand would be a greatpick up.
