As the Chicago Bears concluded their three day rookie mini-camp over the weekend, most of the watchful eyes in attendance were focused on quarterback turned running back Jordan Lynch. Changing positions is never easy, but the former Northern Illinois standout has done everything in his power to make the transition as seamless as possible.

It was apparent from the moment that Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch declared his eligibility for the 2014 NFL Draft that teams were more interested in the Jordan Lynch that ran for 3,735 yards and 42 touchdowns, as opposed to the Jordan Lynch that threw for 6,030 yards and 49 touchdowns.

NFC North Draft Needs

NFC North Draft Needs By Team

Minnesota Vikings: Derek Carr, Quarterback from Fresno State.
   
The Vikings need a Quarterback, that will play consistently. Carr is the perfect choice. Though fans are hesitant about this choice, because the last quarterback they drafted was Christian Ponder in 2011 and he was a bust, Derek Carr is the player that will put this team back on track.

The regular season ended on Sunday and the main question coming out of Bears-land was, “Will the Bears resign Cutler or let him walk?” On Thursday everyone go their answer to the hottest question in Chicago besides, “When will Derrick Rose return?”

Jay Ratliff was recently released by the Dallas Cowboys. He was a staple to their defense when healthy but the last two years he has been injured.

The Chicago Bears signed the 4x Pro Bowl defensive tackle to an one year contract. This is a low risk high reward move if Ratliff can comeback at Pro Bowl form fine, if not they only have ties to him until the end of the year.

Seems like a win/win move for everyone involved, hopefully the 9 year veteran can get a run on clean health to show if he has anything left in the 32 year old tank.

Green Bay- Aaron Rodgers makes the Pack Favorites 
Over the past 4 seasons, Aaron Rodgers has led the Packers to 47 Wins against a mere 17 losses. It's built around Rodgers' execution of Mike McCarthy's scheme, whose talent covers up issues across the team. The first issue has been the offensive line. Starting a 4th Round Rookie Left Tackle & a 2012 Undrafted Free Agent at Right Tackle; many perceived issues would persist in 2013. Against a tough road opponent, protection was better than many anticipated. The concern that persists is the one dimensional offense, lacking a complementary running game despite a 2nd Round investment in Eddie Lacy. 

Fantasy Football: Jay Cutler as Your Backup

Jay Cutler on your Fantasy Football roster?
by Arif Hasan


The most consistent and potent position in any fantasy roster is the quarterback. While the quarterback might not be the most important position you’ll end up drafting, screwing up your starting quarterback situation will come back to haunt you.

Many fantasy owners decide to wait until the fifth or sixth round until they consider a quarterback. That has merit—fifth overall scoring quarterback Peyton Manning was selected in the fifth round on average, and starting quality quarterbacks Tony Romo and Ben Roethlisberger were drafted later.

NFL: NFC North Salary Cap Issues

by Chad Jones

We take a look at some critical upcoming salary cap issues that plague the NFC North teams in the coming year. How is your team affected? 

Did Jay Cutler give up? QB takes heat after lost to Packers in NFC Championship

The big story after the AFC/NFC Championship games is not the upcoming Super Bowl. Its the NFC losing QB Jay Cutler and his demeanor. Cutler went into the locker room early before the end of the first half. He did return for only one series in the second half, but was pulled from finishing the game with a knee injury. Cutler stayed on the sidelines, standing on his injured knee, with a somewhat "don't care" attitude.
This demeanor left the public to speculate how hurt was he. Current and former players, sitting at home watching the championship games, took to twitter to giver their opinions of Cutler. Most were to the effect of blasting the QB for not playing when he could stand. Cutler was injured, period. We question QBs when they stay in the game hurt and cost a team the game playing hurt, then blast a QB and coaching staff to trying to win the game with a better option.
