    That decline I sorta understand. I really want to know how they went from having an answer in the O line to having none is less than a year.

    Let's hope Clausen has more Shaun Hill or Paul Justin in him than Manziel did last week.

    It's not even fun beating the Bears, these days. It really isn't. I certainly don't want a return to the 80's, but some competitive balance would be nice.

    It really has become pathetic quickly hasn't it? Joe's pic nails it. It's like watching a train wreck. It used to be fun ripping on Rex and even Cutler... I never thought I'd actually start to feel sorry for their fans. Talk about a dire situation. They shoulda kept McCown. How bad is that?

    Eight potential landing spots for Jay Cutler in 2015

    By Dan Hanzus ...Around the NFL Writer

    Comment woodbuck27:

    Yes.... The Chicago Bears may in the end retain him.

    This move to bench Jay Cutler may be an effort to shake him out of his tree.

    The move may be related to "can Marc Trestman win again".

    The Bears looked terrific last season with Josh McCown behind Center.

    It doesn't appear likely that Jiimmy Clausen is the answer.

    Do you turn to a raw Rookie in David Fales and start him?

    That would be to assume that he's ready.

    Bears bench Jay Cutler for Sunday's game. Agree with the decision?

    It's Over for Cutler in Chicago as Trestman Puts Him in His Place: The Bench

    By: Mike Freeman , NFL National Lead Writer

    Dec 17, 2014

    " For Cutler to sit just 14 games into a megacontract means there will be a total housecleaning in Chicago. Cutler usually only gets coaches fired. This time, a general manager could be gone as well.

    Throughout Cutler's career, coaches always believed: I can change him. This is the Jeff George Theorem. It's right up there with Hawking radiation and relativity. The more you rely on Cutler, the more you think you can change him, the more you fall into the abyss."

    I doubt Clausen can be any worse than Cutler has been this season.

    Good luck with that

    And it is a bad thing that the bears have figured out cutler sucks
    And so has the rest of the league. Seriously, what other team is gonna want that guy at that salary?

    Ditto. Don't forget, if this is trap game week for the Packers, it's more so for the Lions. They killed the Bears in Detroit so they may be looking beyond the Bears.

    Let's hope the Bears' players feel they've got something to prove.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    This move might be more to motivate the other players on the roster = "If they can bench Jay am I next?"

    I think, myself, that the Bears have laid down this season. At least Lovie's got TB playing hard.

    There is no "I" in "team," but there is in "quit"!

    Hell, the talkheads already have the Bears ditching everyone except Jay Cutler in the offseason - and bringing Shanny in to get Cutler to become the kind of QB he never has been in his nine years in the NFL.

    Good luck with that.

    I think it's all about Jay Cutlers lousy play and attitude.

    How that affects everything else....and possibly winning based in a solid game plan.

    Jay Cutler simply isn't a TEAM PLAYER.

    This goes back to last season and the decision to replace Josh McCown with a returning Jay Cutler (from injury) when Josh McCown had the Bears really rolling.

    With Josh McCown behind Center you could see a positively different and confident team. The Bears offense was seriously hot.

    He's untradeable. His next contract and where is going to be real intriguing.

    There's a reasonable chance it will look like Jeff George's new contract following his 2001 season with the Redskins.
