Clean house. Draft a QB. If he's elite, sweet. If not, draft another one. Repeat. Perhaps sign Brees instead of Culpepper if you'd prefer going that route.
The Bears elite D/ST model, good enough O has worked a lot but at least three times it got dethroned b/c of all people Jay Cutler got hurt and everything immediately went to ****. They don't have the ST this year, but the D is good enough (for 3 quarters anyway). O is passable, the Saints/Rams you'd think definitely would rather play whoever #4 in the NFC is than the Bears.
