    One would think the word "progressive" wouldn't have negative connotations either, but for a certain segment of the population it does.

    A Schiano man does not let anybody use him as a backup for anything, besides birth control.

    You should probably stop talking. This is straight up idiotic nonsense.

    You don't have to draw a straight line between the two injuries for it to be illustrative of the point. "Injuries beget injuries" means not only that you can hurt yourself compensating for one injury, but also that injuries(and especially 2nd and 3rd injuries like Cutler has already sustained) happen to players who (for whatever reason) are more prone to injuries. Correlation does not equal causation. It is absolutely unfair and ridiculous to only talk about his health since he broke his thumb but ignore what happened before that. Your theory is wrong and the only support is that if you pick out a guy with multiple injuries that will, by definition, "support" the idea that one injury somehow led to another. Injuries do not beget injuries. Tom Brady missed a whole season with an extremely damaging leg injury that has not led another injury. Drew Brees injured his shoulder early in his career and hasn't led to anything since. Payton Manning broke his neck, missed a season and has played 32 of 32 games since. Their injuries did not beget injuries because injuries do not beget injuries. That's some old wive's tale nonsense right there. If you were talking about running backs you would have something to talk about. If you were talking about a running QB who got himself hit, and thus injured by those hits, you'd have something to talk about.

    If 2010 is irrelevant then why is 2011 relevant? Because it's when he sustained the first of several different injuries that have caused him to miss time, illustrating that injuries beget injuries. He's missed 5 of his last 16 and 6 of his last 32 games, so it's not as if 2011 was aberrant in that comparison. EDIT: I'm not even saying that Bears fans should be afraid of losing a whole season of Cutler because of injuries, like that pitcher comparison below. But missing several games a year is no joke when the Bears have missed the playoffs by a combined 4 games the last 3 years, and you're paying your QB 17 million on an offense-first team. You are treating him like a pitcher, acting as though a broken thumb somehow led to a strained groin.

    Seems to me that quite a few people are equating quarterbacks with pitchers when it comes to injuries.

    I've already seen people fret over this being too long at 7 years, and for being worth more than Flacco in total despite being spread over more years. People are dumb.
  12. jersey cubs fan
    I don't know what an injury rate is but Cutler has been healthy enough to play more than most other QBs during his career.

    I love when people complain about the length of NFL contracts.

    I was trying to think of what nonsensical thing you would be up to that you couldn't watch the game but could follow this website when I remembered the games may be blacked out this weekend. That would be great. Serves the league right for letting the Packers win. Wait, why are playoff games being blacked out? All but Philly haven't sold out their games.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    Really? Because when he first started talking on the subject one of the main talking points was that he was going to get himself blackballed. Why would you find this to be unlikely? I'm not saying I buy it completely, but it's as likely as any other story. NFL teams aren't all about results, they harp on things like distractions all the time.

    Did he's get like $8m in guarantees in 2011? Wouldn't that partially offset the savings from just his salary? http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/chicago-bears/earl-bennett/ He got almost all of it in 2011 so there's no dead money. They made almost his entire cap hit on the 2011 season? That seems odd.

    Definitely liking that Wilson is partof that group. Certainly sounds like Earl Bennett is not going to be back. Ha, didn't think of it that way. Doesn't look good for him, I guess. Emery and Trestman did praise Earl's performance by name. He can probably come back with a reduced salary.

    http://deadspin.com/i-was-an-nfl-player-until-i-was-fired-by-two-cowards-an-1493208214/@johncook I think Chris Kluwe might be done playing in the NFL.

    I think the NFL has made it's product worse by having fewer mandatory offseason workouts/activites. I think things like this could be extremely helpful. With as potent as the offensive systems have been, I can't agree with your theory on this.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    You definitely need as much money as possible if you want to fill a lot of wholes.

    I switched to CSNChicago just to see how beautiful Jay looked with video.
  25. jersey cubs fan
    Now Telander goes from asking Emery about Jay's diabetes to asking Jay about how marriage and fatherhood affected his leadership on the field. His column is bound to be a doozy.
