I hear Angelo is available to help.

Trade Cutler and get Manning.

———————————————————

….since Manning’s mobility is far superior to Cutler’s, behind a shoddy o-line?

Marshall being too costly lets package our 1st rnd pick and our 3er rnd pick (keeping Carolina’s 3rd) and move up 5 or 6 slots to select M. Floyd from N.D. That guy is a star in the making. Dwayne Bowe would be nice but will probably be franchised. If not draft both of the Wisconsin O-linemen. Please!

You would have to trade your whole draft along with some players.”

While the Bears definitely need a number 1 receiver, Marshall is too prima donna for me.

“As a Packers fan, I’d love that. I hate to admit it, but Cutler’s a lot better, and tougher, than most of the world (myself included) gave him credit for.”

Damn, you’re getting me all warm and fuzzy. Cutler, while he may be many things (but aren’t we all), has proven that he’s a tough sob. Who if given some talent around him, should be capable of winning a SB some day (hopefully).

I’ll give Emery props. I’ve read nothing but lousy stuff about Ruskell, and day 1 he drops him. Brass balls to dump a guy who gave you a job.

For a second there I thought they were going to hire him as GM and I would have had to stay drunk for 5 years.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As a Packers fan, I’d love that. I hate to admit it, but Cutler’s a lot better, and tougher, than most of the world (myself included) gave him credit for.

And knowing the Bears record with QB’s, if they did get Manning he’d sustain a career ending injury very early in the year and they’d still owe him an a truckload of money.

They’d end up with no Culter, no Manning, and a big hit to their financials.

I FULLY endorse you to become the Bears President/GM/Head Coach and grand high muckety-muck of all things football and non football.

I’d prefer Vincent Jackson, Marques Colston, or Steve Johnson. They will all be free agents, though Colston/Johnson could be franchised. I would not be upset at all if they overpaid for Jackson.

=============================

Colston won’t be franchised, unless they ink Brees to a deal first. Brees is the obvious franchise tag target in NO. They’ll also be losing one of their guards in FA as well due to cap concerns.

Never happen!!!

Ryan Grant talks to Justin Tuck twice a week. That doesnt mean Tuck is going to The Packers

Trade for Brandon Marshall since he expressed talked about Jay Cutler 2 times in a week (ESPN & Pro Bowl)

Hawk fan still recovering from Ruskell

Ruskell isn’t a guy you want in your front office. In his first year in Seattle, the Seahawks were 13-3 and made the Super Bowl. They were 4-12 and 5-11 in his final two seasons. The current management has undone almost everything he did, and the team is improving again. This is not a coincidence.

Maybe they will be able to get more than one decent player out of this draft.

What Emery needs to do:
1. Keep rolling heads
2. Target Free Agency
3. Trade for Brandon Marshall since he expressed talked about Jay Cutler 2 times in a week (ESPN & Pro Bowl)
4. Draft – do 10% better than Angelo which shouldnt be hard
