So, a mixed bag then? Not all Bears fans making excuses for Cutler, but at least a "mixed bag's" worth of Bears fans making asinine attacks on Cutler for tearing his MCL but being too weak/a p****/not tough etc. to play through the pain? Because earlier you seemed to be implying that a good majority of Bears fans are always making excuses for Cutler and never criticizing him.

A good majority of Bears fans make excuses for him, and still think he's a franchise QB. He isn't one yet. You can't dig up one thread on Soxtalk and say that is the majority opinion for Cutler's 4 years in Chicago. When he was acquired, people thought he was the Messiah. When some said back then he was Jeff George, people said no way. So far, he's been Jeff George.

"A good majority of Bears fans make excuses for him"

 

what, precisely, are you basing this on?

based on the view from his head in the ground.

Well if we cant dig up a thread with actual stated opinions, you cant just say "people said" this and that. Fine, he has been Jeff George. That does not mean he was coddled at all

As little as he targeted the TE's, it was too much.

 

How many interceptions were passes that were targeted at Marshall?

But the TE's on this roster are the worst players in the history of football.

Given the fact that Jeff George is known universally as a career failure and the fact that those numbers aren't exactly super-duper far apart is terrifying.

George 1 playoff victory in 10 seasons, Cutler 1 playoff victory in 7 with a new coach and new OC coming. As for his passer rating, he's never been in the top 10 in any season. 20th this year, 16th last year, 11th in 2010, 21st in 2009, 16th in 2008 and 12th in 2007. There's enough there to say he's been average. He may be at a little lower end, but George's career, when you take everything into consideration, probably is considered average.

The point is that he does have bad mechanics.

 

He does try to throw too much to Marshall.

And the new HC needs to drill this into Jay's skull.

Did i not say that he is more Jeff George? What else do you want? A newspaper editorial taking Cutler to task? Would you like me to show up to camp next season to heckle him? A public hanging in town square?

 

I dont know what else to say. I havent even been defending Cutler, said nothing about his line excuses, said he has played s***ty against the pack, acknowledged the George comparison.

 

 

CUTLER HAS NOT BEEN UP TO SNUFF.

I can't believe you are still making excuses for him...

Fans know far more about football than Terry Bradshaw or Boomer Esiason. Especially about what it takes to play QB.

 

I thought all the national guys ripping Cutler for bad mechanics stopped when Trent Dilfer decided to stop being so anti-Cutler last year.

You just don't get the Bills. They ALWAYS get Bears retreads. First they had Jauron, then they had Wannestedt on as an assistant last year and DC this year. Lovie makes perfect chronological sense.

Yea it does make sense. Maybe next year you will get some "Rex is my Quarterback"

And she is Tebowing.
