    I dont know how this position can be defensed. Yeah, I don't agree with that either. Our best bet is to stick with Cutler and hope to get lucky before he leaves, or restock the rest of the team to compensate for QB mediocrity.

    But even then, there was no guarantee Rodgers was going to turn into anything. He sat on the bench for 3 years while Favre rapidly deteriorated before he got his shot. Tom Brady was a 6th round pick, and had to wait for Bledsoe to get hurt before he was forced into action. For every Rodgers there's 10 Grossmans out there who get picked in the first round and crap out. I might be wrong but I don't think there is any talent evaluator out there that is significantly better than the others at recognizing franchise QB talent beyond the obvious guys which are few and far between and almost always number 1 picks. Yes, and then when it doesn't happen you build Seahawks, or Ravens, or Giants, even Pittsburgh style teams. The last 3 SB winners didn't have a Rodgers or Brady or Peyton. Before that, Packers and Saints did have a top QB. Pittsburgh I would argue didn't. It's so much easier to be consistently good with one of those guys. But if you acknowledge that it's a crapshoot to get one, than you must also acknowledge and embrace the idea of building a champion without one.

    It'll probably be check down city, boring-as-hell unimaginative Shoopville. Clausen may survive but at the cost of a neutered offense. The perfect end to a terrible HC hire. That's how I hope it goes down. Nobody gets hurt, but everybody understands how much of a failure Trestman is.
  4. Soul
    Well Trestman also said it's his fault for not developing Cutler. Crazy, but I actually miss Lovie now. 10-6 aint bad! That's a hollow statement from Trestman though. Actions speak much louder than that.
  5. Soul
    Definitely
  6. Soul
    Well, I guess we now know who Trestman blames for his failure.
  7. Soul
    I lol'd though. Is that real?

    I know they need to root for their team but man the Wild announcers are crybabies

    It's difficult to think of one. I guess Jay getting benched at halftime. Would no longer surprise me, but it would cause my face to hit my hands one last time.

    I was wishing and expecting better but definitely had it in my mind that disaster was potentially on the horizon. Lots of volatile players and a coach that nobody respects made me think things would go really well, or if they went bad, it would be horrible. I remember thinking Trestman would have trouble recovering if things go bad. But that was when he was hired. I still had hopes for this season. My main fear heading into this year was Tucker. I don't think I was alone on that.

    Before this mess really got bad... I thought only Tucker and Joey D were gone. Now, I think most of the staff is gone at this point. Emery is likely safe as is Phillips (unfort.) Yeah, which means he gets another HC pick. Which means more than likely he's here for another 3. Gross.
  14. Soul
    Yeah...and I don't get the calls to bench Cutler either. I mean, even if you think he's the worst QB ever to grace the football field with his presence, why would you replace him? People are impatient and want to see blood right now rather than waiting 13 days they're going to have to wait a lot longer than that. trestman isn't going anywhere. Please stop saying that. It's Christmas.
  15. Soul
    Why would that be strange? Because I haven't really been looking forward to it for the past few years. There hasn't really been a reason to.
  16. Soul
    The only interesting thing left to this Bears season is the postseason press conference. I'm looking forward to hearing Emery answer the questions when he announces Tresty will be back next year
  17. Soul
    Yes. Surprisingly We're slow learners
  18. Soul
    Strange. I'm suddenly looking forward to Cubs season
