So, Cutler has now decided he is playing in two weeks even though he clearly has not been cleared by doctors.

Can someone tell me once again that it is up to the doctors if he plays?

When did he say this?

I heard him on AM1000 yesterday and he said that was the goal, and he would be very disappointed if he didn't play against the Cowboys, but never said for sure he was playing.

So he actually said that he's leaning towards playing the MNF game, or playing the game after that.

Good post, Rick.

He says he is playing in one or both of those games. Shouldn't he be waiting for the doctors to clear him?

I'm just pointing out the absurdity here that some people were saying the player isn't ultimately making the decision.

This is a mistake. Josh is hot right now and obviously has gelled with the offense. Play him until he becomes ineffective, then bring in Jay. I realize sitting a healthy Cutler would be upsetting to him, who may or may not be Emerys highest priority in the summer, but this is the season right here. Don't mess around with it.

I agree. Tresty moved down in notch in my opinion of him as a head coach and leader. How many Bears fans are rooting for Cutler to fail miserably Sunday?

Rick certainly is.


I'm rooting for the Beloved regardless of who is under center, but I do not think this is a very smart move...and I like Cutler.

I think this will be a disaster.

That all depends on your perspective.

Why? Cutler just has to outperform a guy who couldn't cut it in the UFL.

My perspective is the right one. I think he'll have a bad game and that will be it for the season, and him with the Bears. He'll be salty and hat Chicago and I'll be sad. I'll dig out my old Tiffany cassette tape of could've been and listen to it over and over again.

I understand the move. They need to get as much evaluation on Culter as they can so Trestman and Emery can make the best decision.

That said, I think McCown runs this offense more efficiently than Cutler, even tho Cutler doesn't look terrible by any means running it.

If Cutler is targeting Marshall outside the confines of the play, as if he's freelancing, then I don't understand all this talk about Trestman and Emery liking Cutler as "the" guy. I've heard this a lot on B&B, but it doesn't make much sense if Jay is saying screw the progressions and throwing the ball wherever he likes instead.

I'm really late to this party, but it's like what leash and others have said: Cutler is not a system QB, and trying to tame him to play within the system is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. It took McCown's simple style of play (i.e. within the system) to make me see this particular fault of Cutler.

McCown is a better fit for Trestman. I don't think he's the long term solution at all. Since Emery has hitched his wagon to Trestman, I would like to see what he can do with his hand picked project. We actually have a sound offensive philosophy for the first time in my life. Not to go all Wanny, but the offensive pieces are in place other than the QB. Spend, draft and spend on the D.

I agree with GD. The defense even assisted today. The Kramer offense was very good but the talent on this offense is unbelievable.
