Cutler might prove himself but at this point it's just as likely he will stink it up next year as pull the whole Bears offence up a notch.

Also about 1/4 of Trent's yards came from throwing to Gonzalez Quite a bit from Priest Holmes as well if you want to go back that far.
1418 of the Bears' 3229 receiving yards, 44%, were collected by Matt Forte, Greg Olsen, and Desmond Clark last season so you can take your little wink face and shove it up your ass.

I'm not saying Cutler will have another 4,500 yard 25 TD season, and with Forte he shouldn't have to, but the assumption that because Chicago's receiving core was bad under Orton and Grossman, it will be bad under Cutler is ludicrous. Cutler's stats will be down next year because he won't be pressured to score 30+ points every game. In fantasy terms, Cutler will have a bad year. But in actual football, where it matters, he will have as good a year or better.
