Cutler to the Bears

[Bretsky]

Re: Rodgers

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

How many years would Rodgers have to consistently outperform Cutler before you'd be willing to recant this statement?

Not that it's significant, but in a poll taken on espn, the rest of the country backs Partial's view. Out of which of the 4 young QB's listed, who is better? Rodgers was way behind Ryan, Cutler and I forget the other.

I have no problem with anybody who thinks Cutler is better than Rodgers

I don't agree with it, but if you put homerism aside I think one could make an argument either way.

The Bears got a lot better today; that is the bottom line.

Year after year Green Bay use to beat the Bears because our QB play was vastly superior to theirs.

The Bears finally have something viable.

[ThunderDan]

A little scary IMO.

We'll see it takes a well rounded team to win, but so many teams struggle to find a QB (the Bears have floundered for years) and now the they have a legit one for many years.

Floundered? They went to the playoffs in 05, the superbowl in '06, had a down year filled with injuries in '07, and were better than the Pack last year.

Where is the floundering?!?

Are you smoking crack asshole? The Packers dominated the Bears for 7 quarters last year and split the series 1-1. We outscored the Bears 54-23.

ah ah ah You're not allowed to question this poster, much less call him names. His mom works here or something, be careful.

Thanks for the heads up but I am not really worried.

Dude spouts off like the biggest know it all and than gets shown to be a complete idiot!!

I wish Partial was the GM of an NFL team. He would lead the team to 4-12 every year but sign all of the big name FA just like when he plays Madden.

[Bretsky]

It's almost surreal. The Bears having a legit starting QB.

Well, the NFL as we knew it died in January when the Cardinals won the NFC Championship Game. Then Albert Haynesworth got 100 million dollars. Then Terrell Owens signed a 1 year deal with the Buffalo Bills. Then the NFL enacted a rule against forming a wedge on kickoff returns, amongst other things. Now the Bears have a legit starting QB.

What's next?

TTT signs a free agent starter ?

Maybe he said that because the Bears won more games than the Packers last year? Just a thought.

[The Leaper]

The Bears just got better...and significantly so.

It sure makes Wolf's deal for Favre look like a steal though. The Bears had to pay through the nose!

[mission]

He would lead the team to 4-12 every year.

I'll take the under.

[Guiness]

Yes, I am sure that is what most of you will be saying. But like I said in an earlier post, the Bears WR's would get open deep alot, Orton just would always over throw or under throw them.... He missed Hester several times deep wide open. That will not happen with Cutler.

Was that because Hester put on the jets, and ran a seam for the enzone, when he was supposed to be running a post route? Just saying...

I think the Bears got better today as well, but won't be getting any better for a while without those picks. Losing those 3 draft choices is going to hurt.

So now that Rex and Kyle are both gone, who's going to be Cutler's backup this year?

Uh... what? I support the Teets approach of organic growth and draft solidly. When have I ever said otherwise? STFU

And now Packer fans get to find out what it is like to compete AGAINST the gunslinging type. Cutler has the arm to make incredible throws. But his TD/INT ratio is 1.459. Very close to Brett's career mark of 1.497.

And by the way, yard per attempt is one of the better single stat measurements for QBs. YAC yardage is very QB independent statistically. Since there are clearly QBs who are more accurate than others (enabling them to give the receiver the ball in stride), this suggests that there are other determining factors involved in addition to the QB (routes and receivers among them). The problem with Yards per Att is that the range of good is small (between 7.0 and 8.0) and its hard to distinguish between QBs with numbers that are close.

Don't think the Bears have picked up any other QB's this offseason, so I'm saying Caleb Hanie. He was actually pretty decent last preseason.

[Partial]

Where's sexy rexy? I always kinda liked him as a player. Good arm. Knack for the big play and theatrics.

I think you mean knack for the stupid play. He's unsigned.

I'll always remember him for the lofty 0.0 QB rating he put up on us before being pulled at halftime on New Years Eve a few years back.
