This week you'll probably hear some people complain that the preseason finale is meaningless, but Bears fullback Tyler Clutts certainly won't be among them.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Jay Cutler's 21-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Marshall was a thing of beauty Friday night against the Giants, but Bears starters didn't generate enough impact plays on either side of the ball.

The Detroit Lions were the ones left out of that picture, but offseason free-agent signings and a solid draft class have the Motor City buzzing about what could happen in 2013.

The Chicago Bears are, for all intents and purposes, in a rebuilding mode. There is an entire shift in paradigm occuring at Halas Hall, and it's likely the largest one this team has ever experienced.Throughout the team's history, Chicago has been known for a fearsome defense, and just enough of an offense to get by. Defense wins championships. We get off the bus running. End of story.There was a little bit of a ripple in that philosophy in 2010, when head coach Lovie Smith hired Mike Martz as his offensive coordinator...

Injuries had kept other line­backers off the field during the Carolina Panthers’ organized team activities last offseason, and Kuechly came in with big expectations after being drafted ninth overall.

But when you talk about the Mannings and [Drew] Brees and some of those people, I think Jay Cutler has every bit as much talent as anyone we’ve talked about.

At some point, Jay Cutler’s head just might explode — the result of trying to remember and effectively handle too many plays, checks, formations and terminology during his playing career.

It’s well-known that Cutler is entering his fifth season with the Bears and is learning his fourth  offensive scheme, with coach Marc Trestman and offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer now in charge. It can take years to master an  offense. Cutler probably understands that better than most. On top of that,…
