Warner with the 2006 team would have been more effective than Grosman. Do you really think they could have left Warner on the bench in 2005 or in 2006 when Grossman fell apart late in the season.

On a similar note, Haugh's "Bears should have had Nick Saban and been Super Bowl Champs" story angle the other day was one of the more ridiculous storylines I've seen lately. Sure, Saban's had plenty of success on the college level, but it's an apples to oranges comparison, and my money says there's no valid reason to believe Saban has an NFL-caliber mind. Different ballgame from college ball, where his snake oil salesman type personality works for guys like him and Les Miles. In the NFL, no way his approach would have worked with the Bears or anyone else -- if he knew he could make it work he'd have made the jump by now. re: Cutler, everything I've heard from scouts, etc. suggests he can and should improve. It would be practically impossible to have worse red zone numbers next year. The key is getting someone in here that can get inside his head and make sure he gets it on straight. Problem is, I don't feel the Bears have the brains to do that and find a way to start getting an immediate return on their investment.

What if Cutler gets badly injured in camp this year, will the Bears just close up shop for the year? So much is riding on that fella improving. Cutler will come around.

Even last year Cutty threw way too many int's in the red zone. You can blame Turner(deservedly) but overall Orton had best redzone numbers than any other QB in last several years. Orton was cerebral, can Cutler start making the right decisions consistanly? No matter who the OC is, Cutty has to start making the right decisions. His bad decisions took the bears completely out of at least 3 games this year. Its starts with him, bad O-line or not. I believe the number one reason Denver traded Cutler was his redzone deficiencies and ultimately his inability to perform in critical situations/games cost Shannahan his job.
