I became a Packer fan last week, watching football has been so much more enjoyable! Had fun watching the Bears implode last night......
For the last 20 or so years, the packers have had good GMs that are able to get good QBs.U seriously converted? Then in 10 years or whenever rodger retires and the packers suck you will come back? NFL is a big cycle, you can never fully enjoy the good if you dont expierence the bad. Lemme guess you used to be a laker fan, then a heat fan, and now a cavs fan? are you a yankee fan?

Something the Bears haven't been able to do since.......well, hmmm
Yes, I am saying your GM stinks. Go ahead and disagree, but look at your team. Who does the hiring?
Agree they all could go & maybe they will Bears could get worse but how much worse??? lol
Well obviously depending on how cutlers contract is written, it's going to get worse before it gets better.
How long is forte signed for? He is the only one worth keeping.
Maybe us lifelong Packer fans need to lighten up on the Bears in these lean times. Remember, the Vikings really suck too, it took an ex-Packer to give them a good year.

Brett farve was an over weight beer chugger when he came to green bay, I think they traded a keg of beer for him. NO ONE knew he was gona be that good. Aaron rodgers fell 20 something spots in the draft. He had a 50/50 shot of going #1, he fell into GBs hands. If one of those teams before GB picking step up, everything is changed. And cant tell you how many of the packer fans I kno hated rodgers and wanted him to go over farve. I give that credit to mike mcarthey. He knew rodgers was better than farve and pursuaded the organization to make that move. Which is why I feel he is sorta untouchable. Before this year all packers fans complained about ted thompson.
finding a franchise QB takes sum luck. No one really knows how good a QB will be in NFL. If the pack truly knew rodgers was great what took them so long to play him? . In reality there has been 3 QBs ever, that everyone knew was gona be great. Peyton manning, andrew luck, and john elway. Everyone else is a crap shoot. Sometimes the dice rolls in ur favor.
The Bears are bad from ownership on down. It will not be fixed quickly or cheaply. They are in expensive deals with crappy and old players. Even their ballboys are substandard. Be glad you have the Blackhawks.
My mind wandered today.... what if the Cutler deal never happened & Orton stayed put? Probably Orton would be #2 but #1 could have been a young stud QB.
And the Bulls. Lance is off the books next year, cutlers cap number goes down quite a bit. They actually have a ton of cap space next year to make moves. the 'experts' were saying the bears were one of the teams in the running for suh. But if he wants that much money Id rather have 3 or 4 good players vs one elite player. the good thing about the NFL, it can go from bad to good very quickly and vice versa.

You do know if the bears never traded for cutler back in 09 ,the bears would likely have peyton manning right now. Him and urlacher are buddy buddy, and at the time of peytons release from colts, the bears had a good D still with skilled players on O. On top of the 2 #1 picks they never woulda got rid of.
sledhead wecome aboard I made the switch when the Bears said tomsack could lead us gimme a break bears just dont get it never will. I lived in chicago for 50 yrs its like going to the gas station and getting water in your gas would you keep going back not me I made the switch plus after seeing the way they do business I said no thanks like many other people have. Sad but true bears deserve everything they get GO PACK GO
