You take the run game from last year and how they used Forte, and you put in a competent passing game and this team will be putting up 30-40 points per game easy. That's going to take a lot of pressure of this D. This is a D that has always liked to attack(see when Rivers was the DC) and now you give them the lead?

You add in a competent backup RB in Bush who can in the 4th qtr come in and just punish tired DL's and run out the clock and you have a 12 win season if everyone is healthy.

If the Bears got rid of Cutler/Forte/Urlacher/Peppers/Marshal and Hester w/in 2-3 years bill boards would be the least of the Mc's concerns.
