Cutler an elite QB?

[Fritz]

You strike fear into me, Patler.

Not making that up. Google it, search all you want, there has NEVER been one player on his team or coach that from last year or beyond that ever had anything to say about the kid. The only thing that has been said from about him from his teammates and coaches were positive things. So YES, I take there word over a disgruntled FAN any day.

You will take "...there (sic) word"? What word? You claim they said nothing. There is no word to take.

The Bear fan in Denver likely was referring to those bits of information you get on a local level from reporters who have direct access to the locker room, players, etc. and comments you get from players indirectly. The way they say things, as much as what they say.

So at least one fully committed, unabashed, lifelong Bear fan with a more complete feel than you or me for what Cutler has been to date in the NFL does not share you optimism. Of course, that does not mean that Cutler might not change, develop, mature.

One thing that this will give the Bears is a stable starter at QB, something they haven't had in a long time. Cutler will not be second guessed this season, or maybe even next even if 2009 does not go well. That alone will be an improvement.

I disagree about the second guessing. If Cutler plays poorly enough, the Bear fans will turn on him in a heartbeat and will crank up the heat on Bears management. You are giving Bears fans too much credit.

Clearly, Dabaddestbear is a gruntled fan.

Maybe he needs to be juvenated.

paco, in all honesty, what are you trying to accomplish?

i think its obvious to most that cutler is going to be a huge upgrade to the bears (even though there is an argument that orton was coming into his own as a game manager).

but you're either

a) trying to provoke people around here with your rhetoric
b) a luke warm packer fan at best

I'm personally going with a, but its anyones guess at this point.

You cant be serious? Lets see, an average game manager, over someone that strikes fear in opposing secondaries...hmmm
Orton isnt even locked in to start in Denver! Its amusing how some of you heap praise on Orton now that he is no longer a Bear. He as a serviceable QB yes, but not one that any team really felt they had to prepare for.

It's also amazing how you and other Bear fans talked about how tight Orton was last year and now that he's gone he was just serviceable.

Once again a made up fact to support bull. Show me where I was talking about how "tight" he was last year?

And the same will happen here if Rodgers plays poor. Hell, it will happen in any sports city. Thats what sport fans do.

maybe you both are right.

It was probably during your pillow talk with Orton.
