If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

If you honestly think Trestman is going to start an unhealthy Jay over McCown then I can't help you.

Who can help us, then, dammit??!??

I was going to say you...

Now, we are definitely boned.

Trestman watched practice and decided Cutler was ready.

Did you watch those practice throws? He must have really cranked it up the rest of the time.

Although backup Josh McCown excelled in relief against the Redskins and Packers, Trestman said that no consideration was given to resting Cutler for another week. The Bears coach also revealed that the offense will not be limited in any way with Cutler under center.

"Not at all," Trestman said. "He's been cleared to play and if he couldn't do everything that a quarterback has to do in a game on an NFL Sunday, then he wouldn't be out there. As I said, he's been cleared because the doctors believe that there's nothing that he can't do physically to play the position. We would never put him out there if he wasn't cleared to do everything."

Cutler acknowledged that he can drive the ball down the field and is not hindered by the injury.

"If I wasn't back to 100 percent or they had any doubts, I wouldn't have been practicing today," he said. "That was the stipulation. They were going to let Josh have another crack at it and I was going to have to sit this one out."

Lotta bad thoughts here. Doctors cleared him, that's not a decision Cutler makes. Trestman watched practice and decided Cutler was ready. If he didn't, Josh would play.

Anything else would be Trestman purposefully sabotaging his own team which makes absolutely no sense at all.

Thanks for the recap of what obviously happened.
What? The head coach is playing his starting QB who says he is ready to go. What are you talking about?

So, if Cutler is bad this weekend, we won't hear you or anyone else using injuries as an excuse?

Check with the experts.

What are you talking about?

I know he's trying to show his toughness so he can earn another contract but it just isn't smart.

He's implying this decision is Jay's and subsequently suggesting Jay is rushing to get back because of his contract. It's not Jay's decision. It's Trestman's.

It wasn't funny the first 100 times you tried this joke, but keep trying I guess.

Referring to Nas saying:



He's implying this decision is Jay's and subsequently suggesting Jay is rushing to get back because of his contract. It's not Jay's decision. It's Trestman's. And the medical staff cleared him and said he can do 100% of what he has to physically.

I don't get why everyone is assuming he's not healthy? How is it rushing back if the doctors clear him? I can't remember a Chicago athlete held so such impossible standards by fans in my entire life.

So it's Trestman and the medical staff that's forcing him back? So if Culter looks hurt and plays bad on Sunday we blame them instead of Cutler? What is the right way to look at this?

Why wouldn't he come back? If he was 50%, or 75% percent... there would be a discussion. Everyone involved has said there is literally nothing holding him back. He is 100%!

There is literally one way to look at it.

Jay has said he is 100% healthy.

Trestman has said he is 100% healthy.

The medical staff has said he is 100% healthy.



Why wouldn't he come back? If he was 50%, or 75% percent... there would be a discussion. Everyone involved has said there is literally nothing holding him back. He is 100%!

Just wait until Sunday and laugh at us when Jay has a great game.
