Bushrod is average at best.

Bushrod is a good supporting player but he was helped out a ton by Nicks and later Grubbs, and also Brees’ escapability.

Good move by the Bears to get a solid player, but he’s not what you all seem to think he is.

Nah.

Decent lineman, but for the money, Chicago just got screwed. At leasy Cutler will have someone besides a cardboard box blocking for him.

Average at best. Brees made him look much better than he really is. Cutler will still get sacked more often than most QB’s, Bushrod or no Bushrod, he is too indecisive with the football.

Reality of that contract kicking in soon enough.

Brees makes his OL look much better than they are with his quick release. If anything, Cutler sometimes makes his OL look worse than they are. Bushrod may very well have his hands full going up against Allen and Matthews twice a year. I wish him the best.

I mean did they really just sign a real NFL offensive lineman? did they just sign a real NFL tight end? does this in fact mean they will actually throw the ball to him more than once a game if at all? this guy has done more to improve the Bears in a year than angelo did in the last 8 years he was here. now we will get to see how good Cutler really is with a NFL offense to play in and talent around him for the first time since he has been with the bears.

Need more O-line and solid linebacker. Also have to learn a new offense again this year.

Who would you have preferred? Clady and Albert were both franchised. Did you want a guy who has been injured the last 2 seasons and wanted 10-11 mil in Jake Long,or did you want some rookie protecting Cutler?

Great start in free agency, sign a couple of our own back and get outta town.

The guy is only slightly better then Webb, and he is horrible. I guess they are hoping cutler finishes the year on injured reserve instead of paying him next year.
New GM, new coach, same crop o-line just with different names.
