If I were the Bears, and I'm not, here's what I would do:
1. I would sign Matt Jones. How many years must I go through watching our running back and tight end have the most receptions on the team. It truly makes me want to scream. I understand that Matt Jones comes with a little baggage because of his drug record but he was recently jailed and then released by the Jaguars for drinking beer during a round of golf. It's not like he's running a cocaine drunk boat like Cedric Benson. He is 6'6 and a good receiver. Plus he played quarterback at Arkansas so we can run those crazy "Varsity Blues" plays with Orton running the route and catching a touchdown pass.
2. I would trade for Jay Cutler. I am a fan of "The Bearded One" but this is Jay Cutler. Not only does he have Type I Diabetes, but he is a pro-bowl quarterback. When have the Bears had a pro-bowl quarterback? He could actually overthrow Devin Hester as opposed to Kyle who underthrows it by 10 yards resulting in pass interference. A good quarterback makes all the difference. Plus, you don't want to see him in Detroit. Detroit would probably trade their 1, 3, and 6th round draft picks for him. Having Jay Cutler plus those receivers would not be a team I wanted to face.
3. If these don't happen, please don't draft Percy Harvin or Darrius Heywood-Bey in the first round. Just because they're fast doesn't mean that they're good. Draft Maualuga or a Troy Polamalu look alike to actually play defense. I can't sit through Hunter Hillenmeyer or Nick Roach at the OLB position.
But if history has told us anything, I will be watching Devin Hester line up opposite Percy Harvin as both of them run head first into each other on a crossing pattern...Go Bears
