Jay Cutler, the worst franchise quarterback in the league!


Exactly. And that's really worse than having a lesser guy, because you're going to have to pay him as if he's good when he's really not. That's why it's absurd when someone like bernstein thinks $1.5 million is too much for McCown.
Well, Bernstein clarified that McCown only deserves more money if another team is willing to pay him more money, so there is that.



Of course a Duke grad is very familiar with the law of supply and demand. He probably won't be espousing it the next time his own contract is up, though.

The major difference though is that it isn't really that McCown is winning. It's that this year McCown is playing better than Jay Cutler has in his whole career either in Chicago or in Denver. Jay Cutler has never been this good in his life.



I think that's the most remarkable thing going on here. Not only that he's playing well, but that he's playing better than Cutler ever played. That's definitely a chink in the armor for whatever Cutler's image (talented guy whose been on the cusp of greatness for four consecutive years now) was going into the season.


But signing Cutler is not a Cutler vs McCown question. Even though one can agree with JORR about a QB's efficacy into the late thirties, most teams want to hand the keys off to a younger guy with more long-term potential. That guy could have been McCown if he had a better track record, but guys having career years at 34 years old are not going attract much attention on the market, IMO. Forget Bernstein, he's wrong about McCown and is digging into his position despite much evidence to the contrary, which makes his arguments a bit disingenuous if you ask me. Make McCown the highest paid backup in the league next year if you let Cutler walk.

Just another bad throw. This is not a good day for Cutler or Trestman. #Bears


WTF is Trestman doing wrong? Other than making the wrong call at QB - a call Danny agreed with.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that a guy who gets bent out of shape when a person uses the royal "we" would take time to point out the following:

Mike Glennon is doing OK for the Bucs. He is the guy Emery supposedly was targeting.
