Cutler to the Bears

[3irty1]

I thought it would take more than a few minutes for these clowns to come back out of hiding.

[RashanGary]

Sharpe, Brooks, Freeman, Driver, Walker and Jennings were pretty good.

Yeah, Cutler will be great throwing the ball to...umm.....ahhhh....well....yeah.....

Yes he will be great doing what Im not sure

brett made a good living throwing to...umm.....ahhhh....well....yeah.....over the years. not saying he's brett but he is quality. when you can get a quality qb you do it.

There isn't a single #1 WR Brett has ever played with at the NFL level that isn't better than the Bears #1 WR this year. He'd have to be better than Brett to enjoy the same success.

Sharpe, Brooks, Freeman, Walker, Driver, Jennings. Those are the guys Favre had to throw to. Not umm...ahhhh....well...yeah...

Cutler Was 0-1 Against His New Team, 1-2 Against His New Rivals
Posted by Mike Florio on April 2, 2009, 7:30 p.m

The Chicago Bears previously had only one up-close look at their new quarterback.

Cutler and the Broncos visited Soldier Field in 2007. And he lost to his new team, 37-34.

Cutler was impressive in the overtime affair. He completed 17 of 31 passes for 302 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception.

But he took a sack late in regulation, on a third-down play that could have allowed the Broncos to run out the clock with a three-point lead. The Bears then drove the ball into field-goal range, tying it up with 32 seconds remaining in regulation.

Chicago won the toss to start overtime, and again drove the ball into field-goal range on the opening drive.

Cutler was otherwise 1-2 against the division he’ll now inhabit, losing at home to the Packers in overtime and getting blown out in Detroit by the Lions, 44-7.

The Broncos held off the Vikings in overtime, 22-19.

Let it begin... 0-10 in Lambeau for the next 10 years!!! Devin Hester is decent, but Earl who???

You guys forget Cutler had arguably the best friken WR in the game.. Brandon Marshall and also Eddie Royal... A top 10 TE and a nice slot receiver (stokley)...

Cutler is good, but with only Hester as his targets, and forcing it to a small guy like him , is not going to turn out well... Marshall could bail out Cutler , but Hester is way to small to bail out Cutler 'go up and get it' throws....

[gbgary]

hold on...i'm not saying he'll have the success that brett did or that brett didn't have a few good receivers to throw to . all i'm saying is that cutler is a very good qb and average type receivers are made better with a very good qb. they'll be much better i believe.

These are notable #1/#2 WR's Favre has played with over the years. He's always had at least one probowl caliber WR, sometimes two on eveyr team he's played.

Greg Olsen is going to the Pro Bowl this year. He's the only legitimate pass receiving weapon at Cutlers disposal.

The bears have the second best QB, second best RB maybe the best tight end in the division. No WR ...yet.

I am sure we will argue about the 2nd best QB in the division all year, but yes, the second best RB, and by far the best TE.
Competition in the North has just got greater fellas.

And by the way, Cutler makes WR's better trust me. Do you know how many times the Bears WR's was under thrown and over thrown last year when they was wide open? I'm smiling regardless of what any Packer fan may say.

Cutler is without a doubt the best QB in the division.

"Without a doubt"??? Better than Rodgers??
Evidence?

Number 3 in passing the past two years in the NFL with absolutely no running game. --over 4,457 yards just last year with a QB rating of 86.0.
Only Peyton Manning and Brees threw for more.
13-1 when his team keeps the opposing team from scoring no more than 21.
And for those that say he wasnt able to come thru in the clutch...it was the Denvers defense that was one of the worst in the NFL that lost most those games, not Cutler.

Rodgers was the better QB in the NFC north until Cutler was signed. No one outside a Packer fan would say Rodgers is better than Cutler.

Absolutely no running game? Denver was 12th in the NFL in rushing in 2008, 9th in 2007. Packers were 17th in 2008. It is true that Cutler has had a better record when his team holds the opposition to 21 or less. Rodgers was 4-3 last year. But in a couple of those last year, MM became very conservative, and largely took the ball out of Rodgers' hands. Like Cutler, Rodgers was also saddled with a defense that was not very good. Packers lost 7 games in which they had the lead late. The 2 have been in very similar situations. Both have the potential to be among the best, but aren't there yet.

Congrats to the Bears in their pickup.

They gave up the farm for him though. Those picks could be used to shore up their aging defense.

Getting Pace, Orton and their 2nd yr. RB from Tulane will help their O immensely.

But I think that much spent on Capt. Whineypants will hamstring them

He whined after he found out is Coach and QB was trying to get rid of him(a probowl QB) behind his back for a one year wonder. Hell, I would of whined too!
Its not like a T.O. Name another time where he complained or whined during all the time he was in Denver. If you are found to complaining about something at your job ONE time, do that make you a complainer for the rest of your career?

It's the comparison you made. Favre's WR corps was never so devoid of talent as Chicago's is right now. Not even close enough to make a legitimate comparison. That's all I meant.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Cutler is a solid QB, but citing passing yards for why he is good is pretty meaningless. Big deal. He threw a lot. It's like Ryan Grant getting 1000 yards last year, but only averaging 3.9 yards/carry. His 7.3 yards/attempt was in the middle of the pack. Aaron Rodgers did better than that.

With a good receiving cast around him... B-Marsh = top 5...

How did our WR's YAC compare to the rest of the league though? That would be figured into Aaron's yards per attempt also, and our guys are pretty damn good at getting YAC. Yards per attempt isn't necessarily the best indicator either.

there are five Packer greats there. but we all know that's not all he threw to. there have to be at least 20 spare guys that contributed along with tight-ends and backs.
