I hate this plan so much, it's destined to fail. If you want to draft a QB and start over, great. But don't re-sign Cutler and draft a kid high, that creates a QB controversy in a town that can't handle one. It would divide the locker room immediately. This team isn't capable of dealing with that shit. Better to either re-up Cutler and move forward with him or let him walk and draft a QB in the first. No sense trying to hedge your bet by doing both. Worst case, the kid the Bears draft sucks and they fire Emery and Trestman. I can live with that risk.
What's a bigger gamble franchising Cutler for 15 mil? Or releasing him and the reaching into the hat blind folded hoping you get the next franchise QB.
1st) drafting a QB more so than not ends up being a bust or a journey man. 10 QB's come out of draft every year how many will be franchise QB's? Choose wisely!!!
2nd) this draft class sucks. There's no gurantees in QB's like Luck or RG3.
15 millions to franchise Cutler is a small price to pay in the grand scheme. And if the rookie thinks its too much of a hassle or controversy to compete then I don't want him.
