The Bears just released their all time leading passer.

[wood20ks]

Yeah, it was weird.

Ever notice, that whenever you were convinced he was rolling and was going to continue rolling. Was when he shit the bed out of nowhere?

Then, whenever you thought it may finally be over for Jay? Was when he came out of nowhere and played great football?

Examples:

2010... They started 4-1, then Cutler played a couple dreadful games against inferior opponents such as Seattle and Washington. Hall intercepted him 4 times in one game, in a game we HANDED away vs the Redskins, heading into the bye. Then out of the bye, we reel off 5 in a row to get to 9-3. We win the division, and Cutler is on fire. Plays maybe his best game as a Bear in his first playoff game. Then, vs Green Bay in the NFCCG, a complete shit show and an early exit with an injury.

2011... Horrific losses to GB and Detroit weeks, to fall to 2-3. Reels off 5 in a row, right into a season ending injury.

2013 - 8-6, need to win one of two games to clinch the division. Offense on fire all year. Proceeds to lay an egg in Philly, in a 54-11 loss. He played well vs GB, but came up short.

2014/15 - Utter shit show leads to his benching in 2014, a year that we had Super Bowl aspirations. Then, in 2015, we're wondering why this guy is even starting for us. Then he proceeds to post the best QB rating of his career. Outplays Aaron Rodgers for a good portion of the season.

Finally, he gets over that hump and beats Green Bay. We actually have positivity brewing around the team for the first time in a while. Then... he proceeds to play horrifically and throws a pick six en route to losing to 2 win 49ers, to dash our playoff hopes. At home.

2016 - Starts off rather poorly, gets hurt. Talks that he'll never play for the Bears again. Hoyer injury forces him back in. Playing 5-1 Minnesota on Monday Night football. We all think it's a disaster... then he proceeds to play one of the most flawless games of his career. We route what many people thought was the best defense in football.

Next up, Tampa Bay out of the bye week... and he proceeds to go into the feedle position, shitting his pants. 4 INT's and a pick six to Chris Conte.

I'll never get his psychology man. It was like... when he was rolling, he'd get too confident and believe he could do whatever the hell he wanted. Then, he'd have to come all the way back to utter rock bottom, to be reminded to stay within himself (which was when he was at his best)... but... it was just a slow and sure rise back to that peaking point. Where we'd find him falling flat on his face... and then... rinse and repeat.

He never figured it out. He didn't have it easy here, and I think in a higher functioning organization. With better coaching, who knows? Maybe he does. However, he was just as accountable for his own failures, no doubt. Truly great QB's make it happen, no matter what. They don't need people to make excuses for them, they just win.

I'll never back down from saying that he was one of the tougher QB's I ever saw, despite public perception. That guy got f'd up, time and time again. More than people know. He always got up. Even when he got hurt, he always kept playing. If you think about it, he only ever left a game after continuing past the injury. Before he was evaluated and forced out by the medical or coaching staff.

He also cared a lot more than people believe. People are fooled by his lack of enthusiasm, but that's just not who he is. Kyle Long, Jeffery... etc... all of these guys stick up for his character and effort. I believe them, and I still am a fan of the guy.

Especially since it looks like he'll go to the AFC, I'll pull for him. Wherever he winds up. It was a hell of a ride. I'm glad to step off, finally. However, I'll never forget it.

Thaaats a winner..............

 

[wood20ks]

Fuck...

Beat it smitty..............Detroit Lions

 

[wood20ks]

He's straight fucking garbage.

If I had been born a Bear fan, I'd rip my own arms off in excitement.

Someone nailed it..........lol

 

[Old Lion]

Cuntler was such a little bitch he was probably out with a concussion for 3 weeks after this incident

 

[anotheridiot]

Wait, just wait a second here.. the chicago bears had superbowl aspirations in 2014??

Without a defense. There was quite alot of regard from all sides about the weapons they put around Jay in 2014.

Marshall, Jeffrey, Bennett, Forte and expectations for Marquis Wilson. Bushrod was a year into the system as a high paid LT, moves to strengthen the defense at the positions the guys were used to playing. Yeah, I would say they bulked up to be a super bowl team. I think its definitely the best support Jay had as a bear.

With all due respect, I dont remember hearing anyone talking with that level of expectation about Chicago, that particular season

No respect required around here, not saying they were ever mentioned as a super bowl contender, but they were mentioned as a team with the best offensive weapons.

 

[richig07]

Wait, just wait a second here.. the chicago bears had superbowl aspirations in 2014??

They were predicted by quite a few experts to win the NFC. Multiple analysts picked Cutler to win MVP.

Yes, they did.

 

[richig07]

No respect required around here, not saying they were ever mentioned as a super bowl contender, but they were mentioned as a team with the best offensive weapons.

There were definitely analysts who had them right there with GB and SEA that year. Along with SF, who fell of a cliff along with us. Irvin, Mayock and others picked Cutler to be MVP.

There was a ton of hype surrounding that team, after how aggressive we were in free agency. Coming off of the 2013 season where we had the 2nd scoring offense in football, only trailing Denver who broke the all-time points scored record.

 

[steve59]

All you Cutler haters should be happy the bears are going back to their previous pattern of signing other teams backups and relying on D to win games. I'm stumped! To fire a top 20 QB and pay same dough for a backup that can't beat winston for a job??? They just released the best Q in franchise history with no prospect. I to pity any qb that comes here to play.

I believe if Cutler went to GB and Rogers came here way back when GB would still be good and we'd still suck.

If Cutler went to GB and provided one playoff win in his first 5 seasons he would have been gone a long time ago and so would McFarthy.

 

[steve59]

I thought my point was clear Chicago has no player development and especially at the Q position. It doesn't matter who comes in we'll ruin them and run 'em out of town. I'm sure nobody's happier to get out of chicago than cutler himself.

well, the Cutler nut huggers would have nothing to do with anyone even close to competition to improve the QB position. "We are paying a franchise QB, you cant pay another one 5 million (McCown)". Draft picks were "wasted" if a QB was chosen. Now there should be enough competition that Connor Shaw is close to taking Glennons job if he blows goats the first quarter of the season. Cutler had each of 3 general managers behind him, made sure he was comfortable and never had to look over his shoulder, but when he went down us fans were left with nothing. You can go back as far as you want, even Kyle Orton the backup was too much of competition when he was originally traded for.

Is Cutty out of the country or something that he has not been signed yet?

I was thinking the same thing (concerning Cutler unsigned).

Well, Cutler is essentially the consolation prize for whomever does not get Romo. So, that's why he has not been signed yet. Romo must fall into place first.

Similar story with Kaep, to be honest.

Huh? Orton was traded to Denver, as apart of the Cutler deal. He was never his backup.

God, AI... you say some amazingly absurd shit. I like you, but you do.

We have no idea what our player development is like on offense at the QB position. This staff has not had a chance at developing one yet until now. We know they've done a very good job with our offensive line and RB.

 

[richig07]

He's straight fucking garbage.

If I had been born a Bear fan, I'd rip my own arms off in excitement.

Then, what does that make Stafford? Seeing as Cutler's had as good of a career as him?
