simple fact

This is of course assuming that they do not trade for Donvan McNabb or Michael Vick. The simple fact here is St.

Louis needs a QB, and Clausen ran a pro style offense at Notra Dame, while he is recovering from off season toe surgery.

He is still a top five prospect, wihtout many of the question marks hanging on the other QB prospects in this draft.

Clearly Jay Cutler has made the Chicago Bears better, but he really hasn't proven that he is the reason they are as improved yet.

With that in mind the decision by the Bears to extend him two years for a pretty significant amount of money seems a little premature.

Let us not forget that Cutler's old team, with Chicago's old QB are 6-0 and headed toward the Super Bowl, while it seems the Bears are destined for a wild card playoff game they might not be able to win.

The simple fact here it seems the Bears jumped the gun a little by signing this deal.
