No thanks!

Let's start with the guys who are definitely "below average', yet teams rely on them as their starter:

Christian Ponder (and all of his backups)
Mike Glennon
Sam Bradford
Geno Smith/Mark Sanchez
Ryan Tannehill (although at least he has shown some potential, I'm not sold)
EJ Manuel
Ryan Fitzpatrick/Jake Locker
Terrell Pryor
Brandon Weeden/Jason Campbell
Blaine Gabbert/Chad Henne

Hoo boy. That's a lot of really, really bad QB's, and then after that you honestly start getting into the big $$$ guys. The big money is the new standard for a reliable QB.

How much did he make this year? That was a great trade for them.

You are out of your mind. Jeez.

Dunno. He just seems very average to me.

Starting to take an eery turn. I agree with this also.
I'd take Palmer for a short term deal for the Bears moving forward, but unfortunately the Cardinals probably won't just give him to us.

I'll trade Cutler and his deal for that right now.

Schaub is on a $66M/5 year deal and he is going to get cut and will get no where close to that much money going forward.

And Schaub is statistically the better QB. Just had an awful year this year.

You are out of your mind. Jeez.[/quote]

Check the stats. You'd be surprised. And the Texans are going to end up paying him a lot less.

Here's Schaub's deal:

9/9/2012: Signed a five-year, $66.15 million contract. The deal contains $29.15 million guaranteed -- a $17.5 million signing bonus and Schaub's base salaries in years one and two. 2014: $10 million (+ $1 million in per-game roster bonuses), 2015: $12.5 million (+ $1 million in per-game roster bonuses), 2016: $14.5 million (+ $1 million in per-game roster bonuses), 2017: Free Agent

I think he could put up similar numbers to what Jay would in this offense.

He would put up better numbers. Career 64% completion. 40 less career turnovers. Three 4000 yard passing seasons.

I'm with you. I thought Doc was saying someone gave him new money.

If Schaub still has it, then he will get paid. Maybe not as much as Cutler, but it will be high, I think. The Bears just picked Cutler because he has a rapport with the coaches and his WRs.

Schaub was awful this year, then hurt. Then awful again, then hurt again, right?
And if the Texans can get out of the deal without paying big $ to Schuab, what exactly are the anti-Cutler contract people saying again?

I don't hate Schaub but I'll pay the extra $2 mil for Cutler.

Literally....I'll pay it.

He already got his guaranteed money through his first two seasons.

@SportsTaxMan: #NFL Cutler’s deal is three years, $54 million, with year-to-year option thereafter http://t.co/bi35Ez8kZH via @ProFootballTalk #Bears

Right.

Is anybody really that opposed to having Cutler for a couple years at a little over the tag price?

_________________

Schaub was getting $13M/yr.

That's an excellent deal for the Bears.

Can't believe Cutler went for that.

_________________
You know me like that.

Why wouldn't he go for a guaranteed $54M?

He is getting 54 guaranteed.

The reason the Bears didn't sign an average QB is because they're scared. Jay Cutler got signed because it was easy and safe. It was also stupid. Manage proactively, not reactively.

Then the Bears control him at likely well below market values for the rest of his effective career.

That's a hometown discount.

_________________

No, they control him at well above market values for the rest of his effective career.

You really do not think that Brady is elite?

His stats and track record say otherwise.

Every QB has some shit games. Peyton has had his share, even some in the playoffs.

He's currently at market value because it's basically what you'd pay to franchise him.

Years 4 and 5 would be well below market value if he's proven good enough to keep him.

If you're keeping him in 6 and 7, you must love him so he's still going to be under market.

Peyton should have picked a team that plays indoors.

Agreed. That is about as good as you could hope for the Bears.
