But he's also a good football coach. One who will have the offense run the ball more, which is what everyone wants right? The fact that Jay had some good year under him is just an added bonus to me, and one that I really see no problem with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDF Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 29, 2014 -> 04:54 PM) @JasonLaCanfora Look for Jack Del Rio to emerge in OAK, ATL to contact Rex, SF to approach Jim Mora several teams request Adam Gase. M. Shanahan wants Chi in nfl.com they talked about the coaches now and potential as well as QB. with the coaches, they stated, that SFO was to approach Mora, but he has a great contract in college, and as you mention, Shanahan wants chi and it has been mention that he has a great relationship with Culter. i would rather the bears go for a promising young coach who has nfl experience.

Balta1701 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Shanahan's record in Washington isn't particularly impressive but he was hurt by management and cap issues (sounds vaguely familiar?) One positive though, he's the only coach in recent memory that I've seen actually try to single handedly destroy his starting quarterback, so in that sense he could fit one of the Bears' needs.

In the 90's. He was okay in Denver after that for a little while, and never did much in Washington. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I like Mora from UCLA. None of these potential coaches really seem that great. Weak group this year. Probably why Rex Ryan is in high demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay is 31 years old. His shelf life in the NFL is what, 4-6 more years at best? I seriously doubt he is about to flip a switch and become a game manager/reduce his turnovers. What George McCaskey does with the franchise from this point forward should have nothing taken in account for Cutler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to stop trying to make patches to force Cutler to become something that he is not. They also need to bring in a guy who will run the ball a lot if Jay is our QB. The fact that he's had success with Jay is merely a plus. But for the record I want Rex Ryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Good or bad cutler is here and the new coach needs to figure it out. Getting rid of jay unless you get at least one 1st round pick does nothing for the betterment of this franchise. Washington is a disaster that had nothing to do with Shanahan I think he would be worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington is a disaster that had nothing to do with Shanahan I think he would be worth a shot. If you can get another team to assume his contract, you free up cap space by moving Cutler with the idea being that you can get similar production from a guy for much cheaper. I think Cutler's value is a negative right now, but there will likely be a GM out there willing to give up a late round pick which frees up cap space. But if they don't feel there's anyone better, or Shanahan can maybe breathe some life into him, then they can keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure who the Bears can play at QB that would help the Bears for the remaining two years in Cutler's contract more than Cutler. Having a guy with a cannon arm, but who is turnover prone throw the ball 40+ times per game was just asking for problems. Trading him now basically forfeits any shot you have over the next few seasons. We've seen the Bears go through different guys as backups (Jason Campbell, Caleb Hanie, Todd Collins, and Josh McCown) and it would be hard to pinpoint Jay as the problem after seeing those guys perform. McCown was good statistically, but he wasn't really winning games for the Bears. He also hasn't been good anywhere other than in the small sample size under Trestman.
