Started 104 games, out 12.

Big mistake.

He is not worth that kind of cash. This hamstrings the franchise moving forward. Stupid. They should have resigned McCown and drafted/signed someone tailor made for Trestman's system and then spent the cash on the defense.

Stupid.

Talent pays off.

1 year would have been fine or I would have offerred him 3 years at 30 mil,not a penny more.

All 12 missed games have been in the last few seasons with the Bear.

I'm just fine with this deal as long as Trestman is the guy who wants Cutler. If he feels he can win with Cutler as his QB, then we have no choice but to trust him.

If Trestman was not 100% sold on Cutler and was told he had to take him as his QB, then that is a real issue and likely will be going forward.

Pitchers and catchers report in a mere 45 days.

So, if the tweet is accurate, his cap figure for next year basically equals what the franchise tag would have, except they're also committed for another 6 years, correct?

What is the percentage over the past 3/4 years? That is a more likely indicator of what to expect going forward. As the years go by, injuries become more frequent and the body's ability to heal itself slows.

I saw a piece on cutler the other day. I think it was jaws so take that for what it's worth. He was saying in real time jay has looked really good at times this year but when you get to the film room he is ignoring the progression and going where he wants wi the ball even though there were open reads to other players not named Marshall or Jeffrey. I have no idea how he knows what the correct read is but if he is correct you would have to assume trestman is a little pissed or at least concerned about it.

Bears are 39-28 when Cutler starts.

Yea, after he ripped him to shreds and says he won't be a DE anymore.

Well hopefully it'll be the step that gets him arm tackled all the time.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

The Bears are 1 for 5 years as far as playoff years during his tenure

Are they going 3-4? He can't possibly make him a 4-3 olb.

A DIABEEEEEETUS QUESTION!!!

_________________
Team Cutler.

What??? We have watched Cutler long enough to judge him. Judge his mechanics, judge his decision making. Whether Trestman feels he can win with him or not has little bearing on my judgement.

Trest said it was "on the table." He did mention the SAM position, though.

He is a bum slayer.

cant watch the bulls, cant stand the bears, cant get away from baseball... fuck sports

I agree. He's the only person responsible for whether the teams wins or loses. The performance of anyone else on either side of the ball has nothing to do with it.

Badrogue17 agrees.

Martellus was targeted 2 times and caught 1 against Green Bay. I'm sure it was because he wasn't open though.

He has missed 12 games in the past 3 seasons. That means he missed 25% of the games over the past 3 years and as a player ages, the injuries tend to occur more regularly. Also, as a guy who has had issues with concussions, the risk for further issues with concussions, only increases with each one. They should have used the franchise tag.

Tell it to fans of Tom Brady,Aaron Rodgers,Terry Bradshaw,Roger Staubach....the list goes on & on. Cutler does not raise the play of those around him. Let me know the next time you see him hit somebody in stride.

It's very rare that a QB peaks AFTER the 8th year of their career.


On the other hand, one of the rare cases happened with Trestee.
