    I don't disagree but if we had a coach in place with the best interests of the org, shouldn't Fales be the guy? From what I recall Fales was thought of as a guy that could have a 10 year career as a backup, not as a potential starter and definitely not as a rookie starter. I see no reason to player him. To see if he is actually a backup, specifically for next year. Throwing him into the fire against Detroit this week probably won't tell you anything.

    He's looked worse at times this year, but not at all times. I think last game was clearly his worst and I believe that was a throw in the towel game in response to the coaching debacle. It's disappointing and partially justifies the complaints about his attitude, but not the norm.

    Why didn't Trestman announce the change during his P.C? Unless the call to bench Cutler came straight from the top?? I don't know...there are so many unanswered questions about this team, particularly the last 2 weeks. I wish someone could get to the bottom of everything and write a book someday. Trestman is in over his head and has a bad coaching staff and all those guys are looking to cover their asses and shift blame. Not much more than that. Seems like at this point the FO should be stepping in. I guess Emery is trying to distance himself from any decision as part of the blame shifting, but realistically that is worse than getting involved and trying to restore a little bit of control these last two weeks. He absolutely should have already stepped in but the thing about Emery is he seems very much married to the structure of the organization and chain of command. The guy wants to run things like the military (his longest professional stint was with Navy) and I am guessing he views this as Trestman's decision/mistake to make. There is no 2014 season to save and stepping in at this point would go against the structure he implemented.

Plus, you don't announce changes at PC, you announce it to the team and have a press conference to discuss it after the players know. Once the players know, the media knows anyway.

    Yep everyone short of a Peyton Manning gets turned on once they are paid- in every sport. It really depends on your definition of "franchise" though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's not about him being turned on. It's about being able to allocate the money elsewhere on the roster. Yeah, that's my point. Russell won't look as good when he's taking $16m away from teammates.

    Russell Wilson is a franchise qb until he gets paid like one. Competent qb play out of cheap draft picks and surround him with talent is a brilliant short term strategy.

    Fuld is 33?

    I'm betting on injury.

    I believe Emery still supports Cutler and will be keeping him after they jettison Trestman. Don't confuse Trestman giving up on Cutler as the Bears giving up on Cutler.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    Im guessing with the recent [expletive], Cutler asked out to some extent. Or could be Trestman trying to save his job by showing another QB can get it snd push the blame to Jay (would have Clausen and McCown as evidence). I'm fairly certain this is trestman saying WTF do I have to lose? If he wins a game with jimmy he can blame it all on cutler and enough idiots would buy it to potentially make a difference. This is also why trestman needed to be fired earlier. Letting a lame duck make meaningful decisions is stupid, but also status quo for this organization.

    I assume this was the same report based on a Bernstein tweet we discussed yesterday.

    Soler had to outproduce Ruggiano's 0.4 even if he had 1/3 the time. Wait, didn't Coghlan outproduce him as well?
  16. jersey cubs fan
    Thanks for the update.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    I don't know why anyone would think that. They are 100% certain that Bryant is going to play a position he has never played even though he just spent an entire minor league season at 3B? That doesn't make any sense. It's left field. You don't need experience to play it. You do need some to play it competently.

    does this free up a 40-man spot?
  19. jersey cubs fan
    Justin Ruggiano does not for me.

    Time to move the Rays to Havana
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Wow, Detroit opened at -4.5 it already jumped to -7? It opened at 4.5 before MNF.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    Not sure why LOL, that has basically been the mindset of every player that has ever played, aside from Pat Tillman.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    yeah, all chatter has disappeared

    To me, "just wait a few months before committing to a long term LF" is a bit more reasonable Guys might not be available in a few months. You can't choose timing.
