I can definitely stomach this signing and the contract.

I was up 112-66 going into tonight's game. My opponent had Miller and Bell and only lost by 5. Phew.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 17, 2014 -> 04:05 PM) I would take Stafford/Newton anyday. Stafford has games where he absolutely does not show up, just like Cutler. In reality, he's only had one good year back when he threw for over 5000 yards. His other years have been the definition of mediocre.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 17, 2014 -> 03:51 PM) He's in the Andy Dalton, Carson Palmer, Cam Newton, Matthew Stafford area. And most of those guys are paid close to what he's paid. That's just how the NFL is today.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 17, 2014 -> 03:22 PM) My favorite thing is how the entire league's players hate Dwight Howard as much as me. You're soft and you're a p****...from Kobe and KD. KD saying it is even more hilarious.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 17, 2014 -> 01:11 PM) People need to stop talking in absolutes in regards to Jay and whether the guy can win. The Bears played in a Conference Championship game a few years back, which, last time I checked, is considered "winning." If you are defining "winning" as winning the Super Bowl, there is nothing you can say to me to convince me that the Bears had no chance of winning that game and ultimately making the Super Bowl. The Bears have also been on the cusp of making the playoffs in other seasons with Cutler. Is Cutler the best quarterback in the NFL? No. Is he in the top 10? Probably not. However, can a team "win" with Jay Cutler? Absolutely, and to say otherwise is simply contradictory to recent history. For real. Jenks treats Cutler like he's worthless. His last response to my post more or less proved that. The truth is that he's a mediocre to decent QB who can't win you games single-handedly like Rodgers or Manning. But he's also better than the majority of QBs in the NFL.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 17, 2014 -> 11:58 AM) He's consistently terrible. You're not winning with him. So why continue to delay the inevitable? Oh please, you really want Chad Hutchinson as your QB again? As much as I want an Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson at QB, those guys are hard to find.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Nov 17, 2014 -> 11:45 AM) They would kill to get the QB who has the most turnovers in the league? Who is one of the most paid. I would think they would rather just draft one. And have another Jake Locker situation? We went through a QB carousel for almost 2 decades before Cutler came to Chicago and it sucked hard. It sucks hard to see him underachieve for most of his tenure here, but at least you have some certainty at the most important position on the field. Not having a stable QB is one of the worst things you can have in the NFL right now.

Cards swap Miller for Heyward
QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Nov 17, 2014 -> 11:30 AM) They basically HAVE to move an OF now. I don't think they have to... They have Holiday (no one's going to take him with his contract at this point in his career), Jay, Heyward, and Bourjos. And let's face it, Bourjos is a 4th OFer at this point.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 17, 2014 -> 11:13 AM) Good deal for Cardinals, as they had soured on Miller. I would have too. His ERA was alright last year, but his peripherals sucked.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 17, 2014 -> 11:11 AM) Tennessee has had garbage qbs since McNair. Send him back to Nashville. Homecoming, etc. Teams like the Titans would kill for a QB like Cutler.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 17, 2014 -> 09:59 AM) Of those 15, 6 go to Kelce, 4 go to Charles, and 2 go to Davis. I watch the Chiefs on a weekly basis since I own Kelce and Charles and they literally have 5-6 types of passing plays. Sometimes they'll go to 10 yard routes with Bowe or Fasano/Kelce. They have check-downs to Charles. Then they also have screens for Thomas and Kelce. That's their entire passing offense.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Nov 17, 2014 -> 09:15 AM) Chiefs WR touchdowns - 0 J.J Watt receiving touchdowns - 2 How the hell have the Chiefs gone most of the year without a WR catching a touchdown. Also how are they 7-3 doing so. They still haven't given up a rushing TD. Their receivers also don't get a ton of chances since Alex Smith throws the ball like 15 times a game.

Stanton deal could reach 13 years/ $325 to $350 million
Stanton can opt-out if the Marlins go cheap again. This is a great deal for him.

Packers already up 24-3 with 10 minutes left in the second quarter. I know the Bears looked like s*** last week, but this Eagles team is one of the best in the NFC and they're getting destroyed in almost every possible way on defense.

QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 16, 2014 -> 02:58 PM) All told, not a bad day for Bears. We still saw flashes of head-scratchingly bad play, but both sides of the ball can sleep well tonight. I assume special teams never sleeps at night You have to wonder how a team can get 40 some-odd yards on a punt fake...

Good to see the offense using Cutler's mobility and the height of our receivers. We really haven't done much of this in the past month.

f*** you Rodney Mcleod. He might have just given Sanders a concussion after hitting him as a defense-less receiver.

Of course Jared Allen shows up against his old team. That would have been nice the 9 other games we've played this year.

The Vikings defense may be bad, but this is why Cutler still deserves a chance. We're finally going down-field more and guess what, it's working.

Slow pitch softball thread
We won our first co-ed tournament today. It was in the 40s and misting/drizzling the whole time. I made it worse by sliding for a ball at the fence, then hitting my knee and shin on said fence. I did have the walk-off hit in that game though, so I had that going for me.
