  1. Who has outplayed Cutler this year by a wide margin
  2. That was a bad opening line on Vegas's part
  3. If it's game 2 of the season I understand. But this is a must win game and you have to react quickly. On the other hand maybe the organization thinks evaluating Jay is more important that an improbable playoff run. If you pull a rusty Cutler and McCown leads the Bears to a win, I can't see Trestman going back to Cutler.
  4. I want Jay to lead the team to the playoffs. Obviously best case scenario. But what if Jay looks a little hurt or really rusty and you are down 17-3 at halftime? Should Trestman put McCown in?
  5. Not wanting to check down? Just bad football decisions. Thinking you can force the big play because you have a canon. what about being able to make a throw because you have a cannon? moral or immoral, you choose. Marshall said Jay is the smartest guy in the room, but I think knowing when you can and can't throw a bullet into a tight spot is Jay's biggest weakness. Maybe he knows defenses, but I wonder if he knows himself. If Jay fixes that he can be a top 5ish QB.
  6. Not moral decisions. Not wanting to check down? Just bad football decisions? Thinking you can force the big play because you have a canon?
  7. Boers and Bernstein said that the analytics all point to Jay starting over McCown. What analytics are in Jay's favor this year? Scoring on the road I thought is the only one. Important stat, but not the only one.
  8. Actually a lot of interceptions happen because QBs have their favorites and they throw them the ball whether they are open or not. Call it weird morality reasons or trust in a certain guy or thinking you can get the receiver open, but it happens.
  9. I don't even know who that is. C'mon, I don't really have stuff. Barely thoughts.
  10. Marshall demanded a ton of throws from Jay. No surprise Alshon has thrived under McCown. Anyone have % of targets from Cutler to Alshon and McCown to Alshon?
  11. Jay Cutler would much rather be in Denver or Chicago than Cleveland or Minnesota don't you think? Jay's personality and trying to write checks his arms and his receiver's openness can't cash is what makes this decision a little harder than it should. If he wants to be here and win, take $15 million a year and any feelings of sorriness will disappear.
  12. I want Cutler back, but do you want to be the Ravens, Cowboys, Giants and soon the Saints who are cap screwed and have good but not great teams due to overpaying? I understand doing that to pay a transcendent player, but I don't know if Cutler is. His injury is making things too difficult. Gotta franchise him. All in with Peanut on a one year deal and keep Peppers for one more go around. See what Cutler is for a full year.
  13. I never denied that. But that obviously wasn't the part I was referring to.
  14. When asked about Alshon's progress Marshall said he gets open because I'm doubled, came to my off-season camp where I helped him, and I hope to get some one-on-one's now so I can make more plays. He turned the question back to himself. I don't hate Marshall - he's fantastic. But he's a diva. When the Bears were 3-0, what did Marshall do? Complained he wasn't getting enough balls. He isn't happy unless the Bears win and he has the spotlight.
  15. Not really. Uh, he basically said exactly that, especially the bold part
  16. Basically said Alshon is getting balls because I'm a stud. But Alshon is getting double coverage more and more. Just seems that any time someone asks Marshall about Alshon, Brandon gives himself props. A true diva, but glad to have him.
  17. Marshall voicing strong support for Cutler as soon as he's ready. Didn't really give too much props to Alshon. You know Marshall wants the spotlight. Said "Put Cutler in a room with any player in the NFL and he's the smartest one." OK...
  18. ESPN people wondering if McCown is a late bloomer, just figuring it out at age 34. They tossed out a Kurt Warner reference.
  19. 2006. I never trusted Grossman
  20. Can't remember when I've had confidence in every facet of the Bears's offense
  21. It's going to be a really big decision next week if Cutler is cleared to play No its not. If Cutler is healthy he will play without question. I would imagine, but the decision is still really important. You can't throw away a half with this defense waiting to see if Cutler can perform. How'd that go the other time they brought back Cutler after he was cleared by the doctors to play but couldn't make all the throws, couldn't escape, and had to dial back the playbook? he looked fine until he suffered the ankle injury His groin was holding him back. Trestman said that they dialed back the playbook for him.

  24. Is the MNF broadcast booth in the open?
  25. When Bush gets yards you know your defense is putrid
