Bears spending spree

3 days after the signings, Im still reeling from the shock of the Bears spending spree. It has me excited, confused and anxious for the season to start. Lets start with excited.

The Bears clearly addressed 3 needs. The best pass rusher available and possibly the best in the league is now wearing the beloved navy and orange. He will be our best pass rushing threat since Richard Dent. Now Im not about to start writing SB shuffle 2 but no matter how much they gave Peppers, no matter how he performs, the Bears did something they have never done before... signed the top free agent available on the market. Bizarro. Its like when Matthew shaves his beard. We think it will never happen right? I agree, but I also thought Id never see the Bears committ 40+ mil to one player. This signing convinces me that at some point, Beardie will be beardless. Chester Taylor is the more telling move to me. A great pass catching RB, we now see this offense taking some shape at the skill positions. Taylor should make Forte better and vice versa. I compare it to BWW and Hooters. If you have Hooters, why would you need B dubs, right? Better beer selection, more TVs, better catered to the sports fanatic. Hooters and B dubs compliment each other like Forte and Taylor will. Then you add the best blocking TE available and one of the best in the league and your offense just got a whole lot better.

Now...not to be negative but...... this team still has holes. Big ones. O- line is the key. I said all last year that Chris Williams needed to play left tackle and after Pace got hurt and they moved him, it looks like we are set there. Kruetz is aging but will be fine for another year or two. We need someone to emerge or be signed or the offensive editions wont matter as there will be too much pressure on Cutler and he will throw 20 picks again.

Here is the ultimate question... what will happen first??? Peppers has a multiple sack game, Taylor and Forte score in the same game, Cutler has a game with no picks or Beardie goes beardless. Bizzaro indeed.
