The 2009 Chicago Bears season was full of hope as they landed their first bonafide franchise quarterback since Sid Luckman (1939-1950). However, new franchise quarterback Jay Cutler failed to live up to expectations and former Rookie of the Year running back Matt Forte took a huge step backwards. Last season Jay Cutler threw for 3666 yards and 27 touchdown (unfortunatley he also threw 26 interceptions) and Matt Forte rushed for just 929 yards (a paltry 3.6 yards per carry average). To make matters worse, the defense lost a key member as Brain Urlacher was forced to miss most of the season due to injury. A lackluster offensive, an aging and injured defense, and a pourous secondary left the Bears at just 7-9 for the season, missing the playoffs once again.
Although the 2009 Chicago Bears season was a major diaster, fans again are optimistic about their chances to win the NFC North in 2010. Why you may ask? Well the Bears have a new offensive coordinator in Mike Martz who should help Jay Cutler progress. In addition, they added an outstanding situational running back in Chester Taylor, will be getting Brian Urlacher back, and made a big free agent signing in defensive lineman Julius Peppers. While the core of the Chicago Bears has remained the same, the Bears have added some key players that should help them get over the hump in 2010.
