5 things that need to happen for Bears.

1. Identify a go to WR. Whether its Rexy or Orton (Orton needs a nickname, I'll call him Shaggy b/c of his hippie beard for now), one of these guys needs a target to throw the ball to. Since we have no stable WRs, I think its got to be Greg Olsen. Think about it. San Diego has zero WRs, but they've got Antonio Gates. Although Olsen, probably isn't Gates, he's got great upside. If the Bears are to be succesful, G -Reg of the 7th floor crew has got to step it up. What's your name? G-Reg! What you do? Get head! Alright enough of that.

2. Get Chris Williams in camp. So let me get this straight, you gave Urlacher his money. Whatever fine. You locked up Tommie Harris. Great! You gave Alex Brown more money. Okay. You signed Lance Briggs. Great b/c he got ripped off. So can we now sign the guy who's going to protect Rexy or Shaggy?

3. Let Devin Hester do EVERYTHING. I know logic says that he may get hurt. Well, he may get hurt returning kicks too. He may get hurt walking down a flight of stairs. Bears should use him as 2nd WR, slot WR, running back, KR, PR, and even QB at some point. This is crazy. But the Bears need some crazy. They are the Fox News (conservative) of the NFL. Lighten it up a little bit. Go a little Daily Show on us once in a while. Lovie Smith, you don't have to act like Denzel. Let loose, get a little Samuel L on us. A little, "Samuel Jackson, that's my Beer Bitch! Drink it! kind of stuff.

4. Clone Mike Brown and hope that his double matures in time to provide a replacement for his hip, foot, knee, ankle, arm, head, etc. I love Mike Brown. He definetly has got a little crazy in him. He seems reserved, but there is a little bit of that KG "Anything's possible!" in him. Unfortunately, its any kind of injury is possible with Mike Brown. So, empirically speaking, on average Mike Brown plays 2 games a year. Thus, Bears need to clone Mike Brown for replaceable body parts. I know, unlikely, but it could be money well spent.

5. I've harped on this before. But name your staring QB already. If you don't know whether Rexy or Shaggy is better by now, than you have obviosly been taking a vacation for the past 3 years. Don't, I repeat don't wait a few more weeks to name your staring QB for the season. I can see waiting one week of training camp, but after that this offense with all new playmakers needs to come together. And this can't happen without your staring QB.
