That coaching staff is punch drunk. Unprofessional and on the way out, they're just caving to media and fan pressure. There is no way that they have a better chance to win right now with Cutler on the bench. The scapegoating of Cutler is madness; you'd think he was having a Geno Smith season when in fact he's got a 28-18 ratio (his completion percentage is way down to 55% though).
And the Jeff George comparison is a fucking joke. Cutler has put in a workman like career. He's much more Drew Bledsoe than George.
Jimmy would be a good NFL QB and he's never gotten a real chance. That Carolina situation was a mess. Hopefully he can do well and at least secure himself as a backup QB.
and he always looks like he just doesn't give a shit. Like he'd rather be at the bar downing some drinks than out on the field competing. He's the type of QB you'll never win with. I still can't believe they gave him so much money.
Trestman will be the first head coach fired after the season
His salary is very high, but IIRC they can cut him with relatively little cap overhang. So it's not really that big a catastrophe - financially. The real problem is that they have to find another QB.

He's completing 66% of his passes this season and yes the coaching staff is high.
I'm sort of tempted to try and search for old BBI posts on Cutler.

Of course the fool is diabetic as well
RE: Isn't Cutler's contract pretty close to pay-as-you-go?

Not at all...Cutler is owed a fully guaranteed $15.5 million next year, the Bears only option is to trade Cutler this offseason if they want to move on from him. Chicago would absorb $19 million in dead money by releasing Cutler before 2016.
You would have benched him too. And I'm not even talking about his stats or overall play after the snap. I'm talking about his pre snap body language. This had to have been touched on in the game thread but I saw cutlet mouth the words "fuck me" or "oh fuck" during some audibles. Who does that? On numerous occasions cutler would yell out fuck me before changing the play at the line.
I don't care what his stats show. Cutler is a fucking mess out there.

RE: RE: I'm sort of tempted to try and search for old BBI posts on Cutler.
there is no doubt there are people that aren't huge Eli fans on this board, but even they have to look back and laugh at some of the names that he was compared to.
This is why QB is such a tough position to fill. Josh Freeman had a lot of upside. Matt Schaub was someone who he was compared to. There have been so many names that Eli has been compared to that have either stumbled or are out of the league now. It's funny.

Beyond Eli, who still gets complaints about his "lazed demeanor," look how much shit Tuck would take and did take until his end here, really.

Ha! Incidentally -- how do PPF rankings compare?
Cutler is -16.2 and Eli is +4.0, in terms of their grading.
Cutler has not had a positively graded game since the second week of the season.
Tuck didn't get shit for not being fiery though, he took it over being constantly injured. Eli's been graded on his facial expressions alone by some people.
And the Jeff George comparison is a fucking joke. Cutler has put in a workman like career. He's much more Drew Bledsoe than George.
I'm a ND fan who loved Jimmy, but to get benched for him is a real low point.
Cutler Benched - ( New Window )
Don't forget to also kiss the ground Tom Coughlin walks on.

Don't even get me started on that shit. Cutler was insanely overrated based on nothing more than arm strength.
Give me the guy with intangibles over cutler any day.
Pats. With extreme confidence.

So I guess you wouldn't have traded Eli for Cutler back in 2009?
Bonus 850+ posts on... I'm not really sure, to be honest.
Great comparrison

Haha, figures Stan in LA would have traded Eli. One MORE thing he got wrong...

Need we go on?
But yeah us.... we're better than them.... oh wait, both teams are 5-9

Who said the Giants were better then them?
He's got two twin towers on the outside and a strong TE over the middle, and a pretty good RB.
The entire offensive staff is toast and the blemish on Cutler's record is going to be hard to overcome as well.
What? Eli doesn't have that swagger? Child, please...
