    It complicates matters that he isn't healthy, so we can't even get a full season in Trestman's offense to judge against.

    And they won't. The choice is very clear: pay Jay, or accept mediocre QB play next year (possibly for longer after that, too).

    While I agree with your overall point, football does not work this way. Exactly. They gotta win and win big. Lovie won but is out because he didn't win big. Firing Lovie was settling on being an offensive football team. And they don't have several years because they could be starting all over next year. Not in position to take a Luck or RG3. So whoever they take is going to be a step back from Jay. Basically, sign Jay longterm and the coach/GM are tied to him. Draft a QB and let Jay walk, they are tied to the rookie. If they get rid of Cutler it's tantamount to starting from square one, again. I know football is shorter term by nature but these big time shakeups, year after year, just shows they don't have a real idea how to build long term success like the top tier teams do. That's what bothers me.

    While I agree with your overall point, football does not work this way. Well they can't just redo the whole thing every year and that's what they've been doing.

    Is this the prevailing thought up there? I just can't fathom this being a common idea and this is coming from a generally pretty smart guy. I'm sure it is. And honestly, I can understand someone thinking like that. Its wrong. But I understand, especially with the loss still fresh. Jay makes stupid throws, but he makes a lot more amazing throws. The problem is. ...if not Jay, who? McCown isn't a real option. Draft may be, but starting a rookie QB who's probably the 4th or 5th best at his position (even if you take a QB in the 1st) is not ideal. I wish they fired Lovie a year earlier. This team could be really good if the offense was established last year. Now they face the real possibility of losing all the great progress from this year with a new QB next year. Seems like this is our story every year. Everything's transitory. They are reinventing themselves too much. This team needs to settle on what they want to be and work towards it for several years. Dumping Cutler is only going to result in several years of developmental football. It's not the answer.

    And he's complaining about the call, which means his IQ must be in the 70's
  7. Soul
    Now they bring mccown in

    Piss

    Watch it bleed away.
  10. Soul
    Unreal
  11. Soul
    A gift. Good team would go and win it right here.
  12. Soul
    Still have to be able to scramble a little. Especially Cutler - it's part of what he does
  13. Soul
    Come on raw, LOOK.
  14. Soul
    he was cleared by the MEDICAL STAFF you dumb goon Also, he looks like he's walking the same way he always walks. If the announcers weren't blathering about it, would anyone honestly think he's hurt? He's definitely still gimpy. Watch him when he tries to jog
  15. Soul
    There's no life from the fans because the team is doing nothing to warrant it.
  16. Soul
    Get the damn ball!
  17. Soul
    It's time to pull him he's not healthy
  18. Soul
    Miss your chances? This happens.
  19. Soul
    This is starting to suck
  20. Soul
    That really hurts. 2 bounces didn't go our way and now one goes for the lions
  21. Soul
    One too many times taking that kind of risk.
  22. Soul
    They make zero plays now, cause zero disruption. It must be like practice reps for the Lions. Empty jerseys out there
  23. Soul
    Of course he is. He just had his best game as a Bear.
  24. Soul
    I guess there wasn't one. Saw some quotes in a Muskat article that were just a bunch of blabber.
  25. Soul
    Yeah, I've had enough. Back to football, please.
