How many seasons did it TAKE Chicago to get a QB???
And once again.......Cutler hasn't proven ANYTHING in Chicago yet. He may end up being a bust. Just because he was decent in Denver doesn't mean he will light it up for Chicago. I DO believe he had a losing record there, didn't he? So before you crown him "QB KING" of the North division, maybe we should wait and see if he actually DOES something to EARN it.

He signed........thats as much as he's accomplished for Chicago so far. And he cost Chicago a bundle already. Will he end up being worth that? ONLY time will tell.

I'm curious what some of these guys would have traded for Jared Allen?

I would've loved to get him too, but Minnesota gave a first and two thirds for him and they had better picks. Allen was never a free agent.

Like wise with Terrell Suggs. Not a free agent. He's a franchise player. What would you give for him?

Saying go out and get this guy is one thing, but throwing out names of players who are not unrestricted free agents is nitpicking. I understand not wanting to give up a first and two thirds for a player. I get that and you don't see it happen all that much so it's not as if this is Ted Thompson doing one thing and everyone else doing another.

I do think not using free agency on a consistent basis is a problem. You look back and you think about the unrestricted free agents that GB missed out on and I understand some of the concerns. Some of those players may of came in handy last season.

That's the concern. New England could have taken Greg Jennings over Chad Jackson. I just did what some are doing with Ted Thompson to the best regime of the decade. That's kind of ridiculous especially when GB is getting good players via the draft. They aren't getting anything via free agency though and that's the point some are trying to make.

Is Ted Thompson utilizing all his options on a consistent basis? I would say no.
