Bears fans understood that if Chicago had even a halfway decent backup to Jay Cutler last season, the team would have made the playoffs. So, with good health and solid backups in place, optimism reigns at Halas Hall this spring.
And with good reason. There is every reason to expect this team to have a good, long run this season. The defense may be getting a little long in the tooth, but they can still play. I’d venture to say that the Bears defense is still the best in the division.
As for the offense, it should be improved, despite the question marks along the offensive line. The acquisition of Brandon Marshall gives the Bears their first true No. 1 wideout in…well…a long time.
In short, the arrow is pointing up for this franchise. So let’s take a look at the things we’ve learned this offseason.
