Jay Cutler vs Josh McCown

What do you all think?

I've never understood what all the hype was about Cutler to begin with. To me, he's always been an overhyped, underperforming scrub. I just really don't get the media infatuation with him. He is ALWAYS talked about, yet he has never consistently won, and he's been a bad teammate and inconsistent player individually, usually underperforming as I previously mentioned.

So now, McCown, our former backup, has been killing it in his absence. And to me, his play proves how little Cutler does for his teams. Perhaps a great deal of McCown's success can be attributed to playing for a QB guru like Trestman, but Cutler played under him before his injury and seemed like the same guy as before.

If you're the Bears, what do you do this year and going forward?

I think it would be a cruel joke to their fanbase (which they deserve for stealing all of our players) if they re-sign him to a big deal after he's proved how inconsequential his presence is there.

Yeah, I thought there was no way they could with how he's been playing either, but Marshall has been adamant about Cutler starting when he comes back. And of course, McCown has said all the right things to not rock the boat.

Regardless, if I'm the Bears, I'd be letting Cutler walk and draft a young guy to groom for a year or so behind McCown, versus paying Cutler a bunch of money he doesn't deserve.

Also, as an aside, I so wish we would've drafted Jeffrey. He's everything LaFell should be.

At first glance, one could say there is a chance that the Bears could let Cutler walk in the offseason.

But then you have to consider, who will they replace him with? In the pool of FA QB's next year, Cutler is by far the best candidate.

McCown is playing well, but he's 34, and on his eighth team. I don't think the Bears have a choice but to keep Cutler. If they draft one next year, who will it be, what guarantees do they have that he will work out? Look what's happening to the Titans with Locker.

McCown is playing great and the type of QB like McCown isn't unprecedented. Some pocket QBs are like a fine wine and sometimes it takes awhile before they completely get it.

 

Warner was stocking shelves, Gannon was riding the pine, Beuerlein was riding the pine.

 

There is a huge mental aspect to playing NFL QB and some QBs take a long time before they fully learn the league.

on the one hand this strikes me as a dumb move

 

on the other hand, mccown is 34 years old and even if cutler isn't the future, mccown sure as hell isn't

 

The future is overrated. The goal is a Super Bowl and the Bears don't even make the playoffs frequently. Manning is over 40, Elway won it over 40, Gannon went when he was around 40.

 

The future is a good quarterback, not a young quarterback. What was the point of the Panthers playing Chris Weinke? Looking back, who here wouldn't have taken another year of Beuerlein?

 

Every team is looking for Andrew Luck and many are just wasting their time and putting out bad football. Play the best player. No good player rots away on the bench. Rodgers had to wait for Favre.

 

Speaking of Favre, look at the Vikings. They had their best year in recent history I can remember with him in his 40s.

 

Do you want good football or young football?

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Icege · Posted

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
