A decent drive would have slowed things down and gotten the D a breather. It all ties together. I know, but any kind of dropback and the QB is dead. I'm actually glad Cutler's not playing in this game. It's not worth it. To hell with this team for not building an OLine.
-
I'm not sure it woud that much different with Cutler. Their O is shredding the Bears D, beyond belief.
-
I can't believe it, but I'm starting to eye the channel changer and we are barely out of the 1st quarter. This isn't even a game.
-
I think this illustrates that Smith is quite mediocre. The 9ers have it set up to be relatively successful with a number of QBs, not necessarily a great one.
-
This is a disaster. N&G is getting ready to devour Bear fan tears before halftime.
-
Their backup is good, ours isn't. Great, after all that noise in the offseason and signing Campbell, and our backup still sucks?
-
That's what I thought. It seemed rather convenient for the 9ers to wait until essentially the last minute to announce Smith is not playing.
-
LOL, yeah this was going to be a good game, remember?
-
gawd
-
I admit it, I was down on Maynard near the end. Careful what you wish for!
-
Depends on how much JC can really do. If pushing it means 3 INTs and a sack/fumble, then no -- he needs to manage or it's over before it starts.
-
Just give them yards. Yeah, that'll work.
-
I would welcome starting the conference schedule one week earlier.
-
I wonder who the Bears prepped for -- Smith, Kaepernick, or a little of both.
-
We have a potential OT storm here, people.
-
Yeah, but can't say it's a surprise. Packers were just begging to be beat today, but Lions said nope -- not really interested in winning.
-
ROFL Deadspin posted some stuff about it right after it ran too. http://deadspin.com/5957852/aaron-rodgers-is-very-sensitive-about-his-height I like Matthews & Jennings saying what will happen, and then it did.
-
It's too bad you can't time drunken-ness so it only happens when we have the ball. Still hoping we can pull this out on D/ST.
-
Hmmm, I didn't mean to say that I think it's only the Bears who struggle with it.
-
The point isn't that they were around to make the pick. The point is, certain teams are better at doing the right things with the pick -- others are much more likely to blow it. And the same holds true for teams who acquire a QB. Some will make it work better than others. Brees becomes a success in New Orleans because the Saints have (had) a great coach/scheme for a QB to flourish. If he goes to the Browns, probably not so much. There's not enough good QBs to go around, definitely. But there are teams who know how to make QB work, much better than others. It's not just luck.

How could you possibly say this seriously. Because of the Packers, and the 49ers of old, the Colts. Broncos had Cutler, did better with him than we have, then managed to get Manning. Falcons go from Vick to Ryan. Teams do much better than we do, even if it is difficult. Mostly, the overall point is that the strong likelihood is we will go back to poor QB play after Cutler leaves, barring some kind of organizational overhaul. It's just not a strength of the team. Drafting and developing defense is. Other teams can't do that very well. So because 5 teams have had some reasonable luck with QB's, finding QB talent isn't a league wide problem? The Colts didn't have to do any major evaluation or anything to get their 2 QB's. They just managed to suck in the correct years. Neither Manning or Luck are sneaky out of nowhere QB's. This is a terrible argument. It's a terrible argument to dismiss it as luck. Plenty of teams hit on a top QB in the draft and blow it in development/scheme. Sorry, I just don't think it's pure luck.

It's hard for *us* to acquire QB talent. It's really not a league-wide problem.
-
Come on now... If you're going to evaluate his 3.5 years in Chicago how would you summarize it using statistics? It's obvious he didn't have much to work with starting out. I would start by looking at the context of what he's had to work with, and realize that he's the best QB in the history of the franchise. And the last thing I would do is take a team statistic and apply it to an individual player.

One word comes into my mind when players anonymously rip a teammate in the press: coward. Can I kick you? Sure, go ahead.
