    Yeah, but you're talking about something teams simply don't do. People throw out tagging Cutler like it's this common practice with QB's, and it just isn't.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    With hindsight going back to December 13'/January '14? Tag him & then trade him, like KC tried to do with B. Albert (and actually find and accept an offer). There were three options, try and win it all with Cutler, try and quickly rebuild by developing a QB, or win with a patchwork QB. Tagging him was not an option. People need to stop pretending it was. There was never a realistic scenario with a positive outcome in which the Bears tagged and traded Cutler. How wasn't it an option? Cutler even said that he wouldn't take it personally if they franchise and he wouldn't be upset about it. It's just one of those things that doesn't happen with QB's.

    How often does tagging a QB actually work out, either in terms of ultimately signing them to a more team-friendly deal or trading them for something of value?

    Quit trying to drag Soler down with that pud.

    sulley, you're really not helping things stomping all over Brandon's very well-reasoned post with an angry storm of rage-farts.

    The Cubs will lead the league in moisture vaporators. Hmmmm, interesting. Can David translate Bocce?

    Who, Marshall? Nah, I meant it went I said "superstar." In a much better world Rose would be the godking of this city.

    Yes, I find him very unappealing. He has all the personality and common sense of a sun-baked turd. Fortunately it doesn't make me act like a Bulls' loss or a bad game or stretch means the end of the world.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    So many of the Bulls fans here are astonishingly terrible.

    Four. I have no idea what's happening.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    OK?
  15. Sammy Sofa
    Then I understand even less what you were going for before, but whatever.

    If somebody is a meatball with a meatball viewpoint on Cutler, then yes, they are a meatball. There are, however, many different takes on Cutler that are not meatballish. I don't know what yours is, but I have a feeling it is five alarm hot. I disagree with the idea that the Bears' efforts to shift to a stronger QB-driven offense has been mostly tailored to fit/please Cutler. Improving a terrible OL, improving your terrible receivers and trying to find an OC that isn't a mouthbreather is what a team is supposed to be doing.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    I... I don't understand what you were possibly responding to in this discussion. Where I was defending Cutler's performance?

    If the rumors of them being so frustrated with Marshall are true, then no, I seriously doubt they go after him without Cutler. Look how they've mostly handled problematic players for a while now. And yes, I really, really hope the Bears wouldn't have been stupid enough to not realize the critical central importance of the QB to the point that they still had Kyle Orton in 2014. Well yea they probably have gone through Brady Quinn and Geno Smith by 2014 or something similar if they don't trade for Cutler. And whoever they had there they would have been scrambling to improve their QB production.

    To me the only real Cutler-centric move was getting Marshall; given Marshall's rep then I doubt they make the move to trade for him if they don't have Cutler. Everything else were just moves to try and maximize what you can get out of your QB, which I hope to [expletive] God they would have tried to do regardless of whether or not they had Cutler. I mean, arguments that trying to improve the wretched OL and receivers and OC's were done only to cater the offense to Cutler? That's absurd.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    They hired Martz because they were trying to create a wide open fast paced scoring offense match Jay's talents. They fired him because Cutler got sacked a lot. They fired Lovie in order to bring in an offensive minded coach. Didn't say those were the primary reasons. But every move made in the last 5 years has been to get the most out of Cutler. To get the most out of the QB. Who happened to be Cutler.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Kevin Brown was the weird one for me. He's Curt Schilling minus the bloody sock. Brown had a 5 year stretch (96-00) where he won 82 games with a 164 ERA+, 2.51 ERA, and 1.051 WHIP. Pretty sure that is better than any stretch Schilling had. Brown was [expletive] awesome; he was a beast for a good decade out of his career.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Oh, thank Christ.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    "A user?" Please. There's plenty beyond that; this [expletive] was around in various forms for decades.

    The thing that annoys me the most is how many self-loathing Cubs fans gleefully dismiss Sosa and want the organization to have nothing to do with himand basically want to act like he never existed. [expletive] Bonds and McGwire have been welcomed back by their teams, but the Cubs and their fans have this asinine, self-flagellating sense of "pride" in keeping one of the few genuinely great players the organization has ever had as far away as possible.
