Outlook: Bears coach Gerald Perry inherits a team that is well equipped to improve on a 1-9 season with ten starters back, including top offensive threats at skill positions. Matt Homesly is back at QB, and Bubba Johnson returns at RB. Top WRs Daryl McFarlin and Reshawn Lincoln will be very good targets for Homesly. The offensive line has veteran talent back, and the offense should move fluently. The defense is a work in progress with the secondary needing help. If the D comes along, a much improved season is likely.
