Bears re-sign Cutler


Mr. Scot

Look at this from another perspective:

 

If you decide not to keep Cutler, what is Plan B?

You're going to start over at QB when you have Matt Forte, Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffrey and Martellus Bennett and McCown is talking about retiring?

 

The front office had little choice and Cutler actually had one of his best years statistically. Chicago's bigger concern is the lack of any defense.

Plan B: Build around a new quarterback. Houston is doing it, with the same caliber of weapons as Chicago's. Add in the fact that they just paid Schaub last off-season, they're making the right move by moving forward with someone else. Schaub isn't a winner. Plus, this year's QB class is deeper than years previous, and one or two decent QBs will be available for Chicago to pick. Oh, and Cutler resigning for 18mil directly removes funds allocated for improving their D, or in fact, keeping it together as they'll lose guys like Charles Tillman (good for us).

 

Cutler is not an elite QB, nor is he second tier. Romo is terrible during the clutch, but he's light years ahead of Jay.

Yet Cutler had the best 4th quarter QBR of any QB in the league this past season

 

IMO, the last 3 years of the contract are throw away years and do little more than give the inflated overall number to the contract.

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
