Err....because we are a top 10 team. Steve Whyche and Michael Lombardi agree.

The Packers are not a top 10 team, top 15 certainly but they are no where near good enough for a top 10 ranking

Offensive line and running game not good enough for a top 10 team.

I doubt that mate. It seems to be a method taught by Bellicheat to trade your best QB when you get a job elsewhere.

First McDaniels trades Cutler.
Pioli trades Thigpen.
Just wait for the Mangenious to trade Quinn/Anderson.


All so when they get desperate they will come crawling to the Pats and trade for a crappy 3rd string QB to be the starter!

So let me get this right, you're implying that your judge of player is better than that of Scott Pioli or Todd Haley?

Texans should be higher in virtually all of them. Vikings too high and i'd say the Ravens are easily the number one team.

Plus we should be top 10.

Seems the experts disagree, as ALL of them have us number 1.

I'm implying i can make my own opinion.

You'd agree with me unless of course you think McDaniels was correct and Cassell/Simms/Orton are better than Cutler?

Orton is a very underrated game managing QB imo. He basically took Chicago to the playoffs in his rookie season before Grossman took over and ballsed things up. He may not have had great numbers, but he ran the offense smoothly.

If Oakland had a competant QB, we'd be a much better team imo.

Our probable QB this year is a Canadian Ex-baseballer, who's still better than JaMarcus Russell

Different Head Coaches will run different schemes and different schemes need different component parts...obviously McDaniels didnt think Cutler was the kind of QB he wanted for his offense, that's not a crime is it??

And co-incidentally, maybe having Cutler in Chicago has affected the potency of Matt Forte??
