I'm very disappointed in Phil Emery. I aint even mad at Culter.. get your money. But damn this was a dumb ass deal on Emery's part. 7 years $126 mil?!?! Culter isn't worth that on the open market. I could see if he was worth that on the open market and you had no choice but to match. That's "superstar" money for a "good/average" QB.
Dudes way overpaid.. Supply & Demand except he hasn't supplied anything besides one playoff win vs a 7-9 team.
Cutler's not necessarily the problem but in the 8 years of his career he damn sure hasn't been the solution. I think the only quarterbacks that deserve superstar money (110mil+) are ones who have shown and demonstrated the capability (or at least potential) to carry a team and win big games for them. Cutler has not. The guaranteed money takes away from other areas of need. Josh McCown had better performance in the same team, same system, same offense, making half a million dollars. That's literally 1/30th of what they just signed up to pay Jay. Jay comes back, narrowly beats an AWFUL tanking Cleveland Browns squad who lost their last like 8 gms including to the Jags, loses the two games that could have earned us a playoff bid and gets 127 milly. On what fuckin planet does that make sense? But "oh jay's better than historical Bears QBs so that must mean he's worth it".
Will he finally play a full season? Will he finally reach 4,000 yards? Will he finally finish the season with a 90+ passer rating? Man I hope he lives up to this contract or the franchise will be set back once again.
