Dimbee, what are your thoughts on Cutler? He's got an arm but to me, he seems to think he can make every pass, no matter how small the window.

But he is a lot better than Jake.

I like him a lot. His confidence (and rocket launcher arm) is what makes him the QB that he is. I want him to be smarter with the ball, but I don't want to neuter him.

For being 5 games into the season with a new team, I have no complaints right now... if we can get our running game on track, we can be very dangerous by the end of the season...

it just surprises me how bad your running game is this year. What is it...the Offensive line or 8 men in the box? You guys can do so much better, and damnit I wish you would have beaten the falcons!!:D

Oline plus Forte looks different this year. Tentative.

I will go ahead and admit now that I am one of those crazy people that can't watch night games, get too worked up and can't fall asleep.

Plus, I knew this game was gonna be tight all the way to the end so I didn't watch it.

It pretty much played out exactly as I expected, from the post mortems on the net and radio. :(

Yeah, i agree with this. You have to take the good with the bad with Cutler.

    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
    • It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
