    Is there a lesson in there for Packer fans? Fire the guy that gets you to 10-6 most years, gets you into the playoffs, maybe has one SB appearance to show for it - not good enough. But the alternative, in the Bears' case, has been firing coaches every couple years, trying the new hot coordinator/CFL refugee, then trying the trusty ol' veteran coach. Then a new GM. Let's sign free agents! No, wait, let's draft and develop!

    Back to the original discussion of the Bears, Cutler is done for the year, having been placed on IR.

    Interesting development today, the Chicago Tribune, in an article on the Bears injury report, stated that the Bears have not put Cutler on IR. He is still listed on the Bears' roster. NFL website does not list Cutler on their transaction list as of today, but CBS Sports still does.

    Brad Biggs said despite bak of IR, there was also talk of him still returning sooner rather than later. Not sure what this means, though obviously someone wants us to believe he could rehab his way back to the field.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    It would make some sense not to put him on IR, to downplay the significance of the injury if they are, in fact, wanting to trade him in the off season.

    The odd thing is that news services reported that he was put on IR. I think most get their transactions info directly from the NFL. I would be curious to know how the mistake originated, since as of a while ago CBS Sports still lists it on their transactions list.

    Is this the final year of his contract with Chicago? If so I wonder where he'll end up next...

    The question now becomes where will he end up next season, as there's no way Chicago keeps him under his current contract.

    I wonder if Cleveland will make a run at him.

    He's going back to Denver. They are a QB away from the Super Bowl.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    If he went there, they still would be.

    Elway's not stupid.

    Romo to Denver.
    Garrapolo to Chicago.
    Cutler to Cleveland (only team dumb enough to make the move).

    Romo? Elway would be stupid there. Poor Tony can't take another hit.

    That was the general consensus a couple of years ago regarding Peyton Manning. All he did was win a Superbowl.

    Pugger you may well be very correct. We are aware of Tony Romo`s humility now giving sway to new sensation Dak Prescott.

    Is the humilty or simply an admission of ìt`s time to retire. He has had a remarkable career in terms of his personal contributions.

    Criticizing TT and MM is fair game, but when you couple that with bestowing laurels upon Mike Sherman, you have gone off the deep end.

    What's with the "hate" for the Shermaninator? Many uncool Pack fans seem to think Sherman was a worse GM/Coach than Dan Devine.

    Sherman averaged 11 wins as GM/Coach. Never missed the playoffs. Utilized all aspects of the game.

    And the 2004 Packers ended up with the 24th pick. Team started, what, 1-4? Sherman got team out of that hole. Had team not make the playoffs and ended up with a top 20 pick, no way Thompson drafts the Great Arm of Butte.

    He was handed Favre and Ahman Green. I could coach them to a winning record.

    I still think Ahman Green was the best running back to wear a Packers uniform in many, many, many years. That guy was a monster, and he was fast. I think he blocked okay, too.

    Yes, very good blocker, and great out of the backfield as a receiver. People tend to forget that when he first came to GB he would have 50-70 receptions a year for 400-600 yards. As the Packers found other capable 3rd down backs, passing situations became opportunities to rest him and better manage his asthma. He was as complete of a RB as there was. Even threw a few option passes.

    From 2000-2004 Ahman Green had over 9000 yards rushing and receiving, including 2250 in 2003. http://www.pro-football-reference.co...G/GreeAh00.htm

    He never got the recognition he deserved. Part of that was being overshadowed by Favre, and part was lack of postseason success.
