^^I disagree, last year they were 1 game out of the playoffs, and Orton went into a bad slump around the time of his injury. Their offense still wouldn't have been great, but with a capable QB they could have been much better on 3rd downs and easily been a playoff team. They could use help on the O-Line and more options at WR, but Cutler should be able to help them stretch the field with Hester and utilize TE Greg Olsen a lot more. Franchise QB's aren't easy to come by, when you have a chance at one, you take him.

Franchise QB's aren't easy to come by, when you have a chance at one, you take him.Orton played very well in all of their close losses. The only game I say they may have won with Cutler is against Tampa. I had forgotten they were 9-7 ad a 10-6 team made the playoffs. Best case scenario is they would have been the ones getting beat up by Philly in the playoffs.Keep in mind that Cutler may be a lot better when he's on than Orton but he also has a the Favre like ability to throw the game away with one poorly placed throw at the wrong time. So Philly, Minnesota, or Green Bay may have been able to get to him on those close wins Chicago had.Suck was a strong word chosen by me as well. The Bears didn't suck last year with out Cutler so they won't suck with him but they wouldn't have been any better. Making the playoffs in a shit division doesn't make you a good team in my eyes. There were several AFC teams a lot better than the Chargers last year and none of them made the cut.
