2 things I know

Who knows? Maybe for either option.

I understand you're passionate about wanting to see Cutler fail and likewise to spin an unrealistic projection of Orton doing so much better than Cutler would with the Bears, so I'll pretty much shrug this thread off.

Good for you. Ride the gravy train as long as you can.

Uhm, yeah. Sorry, nice try, but FAIL.

Oh really now? That's funny. You know, I had no idea you were a Broncos fan until a few weeks ago. Now all of a sudden, you're an awfully vocal Broncos fan... That's interesting. Don't say poo for years then pipe up when the team plays well. Oh, what's the word for that? It's on the tip of my tongue but escapes me here... Help me out, will you?

Well I'm not sure you can really pin the loss on Cutler yesterday, it was the Bears' defense that fell to poo and when you're playing behind the ball like that with an unbalanced offense it's nearly impossible to come back. I'm not a huge fan of Cutler by any means but he's done well as a Bear all things considered.

Absolutely. It wasn't Cutler who forced the Bengals to not punt until the 4th quarter. If the Bears Defense could have resembled anything like an NFL Defense, then it might have been a different game. However, that didn't happen. And not to take anything away from the Bengals, who played an amazing game on both sides of the ball.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
