The Chicago Bears 09′ season is one filled with optimism. The Denver Broncos did the Bears a favor by creating trade talk with Jay Cutler, the Bears knew if they wanted to reach and win the Super Bowl they needed more then a game manager quarterback.
Having acquired a stud quarterback in Jay Cutler, the Bears were ready to eliminate and overcome the one major question mark that may have weighed them down over the past few seasons.
Now with their franchise QB (hopefully for Bears fans’ sake) the Bears can score points on offense and compete in a division that is winnable for them.
The biggest obstacle the 2009 Bears may have faced was at the wide receiver position, but Devin Hester and Earl Bennett were adequate enough with the presence of Jay Cutler, not to mention Greg Olsen, a strong, developing force at the tight end position.
The Bears opened up the 2009 season with a visit to Green Bay to face the Packers on Sunday Night Football. Expectations for this game were very high, and some even favored the Bears to win. Unfortunately, the team collapsed during this game, much of it stemming from the ineffectiveness of Jay Cutler, who threw a total of four interceptions during this game.
WR Devin Hester must elevate his wide receiving skills to the same level his kick returning skills once were. Hester was one of the greatest return men of all time and if he could translate that to the wide receiver position, Cutler to Hester will be the norm all season.
Jay Cutler may be the missing piece the Bears need to finally raise the Super Bowl Trophy – first since 1986. Jay Cutler isn’t a “one man band” other teammates must help Cutler so he isn’t trying to do everything himself.
This was a nice way for the team to redeem itself, and the Bears suddenly have a clean slate going forward.
