Because even though he's a "coach killer" Cutler is still a QB who is capable of getting you to 9-7 with a good defense. They're not marrying him long-term. Wisenhunt has zero other options, and maybe a good season or two buys him more time to develop the future.

Less than the whole draft...Cutler/1st/2nd....Cutler/1st/future 2nd....Cutler/1st/3rd/future 3rd

If we want the second pick in the draft and it costs us Cutler and our 7th, I sorta get that. But, I would want the best player available, certainly not Mariota.

more than the 7th pick though. And what is it they desperately need? draft picks. Again, release Cutler and move on, eat the money, they will anyway. I'm cool with that.

Hard to believe the Titans are that desperate, but if they are fine. As much as people hate Cutler in Chicago, he's not a scrub. No to Mariota at 2.

I was actually holding out hope that the Bears would have made a trade with Cleveland, that could have netted them more picks...and what they desperately need is defensive players, which at #2 could get them Williams. Unfortunately the premise behind this thread is the Bears trading up for Mariotta.

and that the bears don't need. that move would be a GM job killer. there is no way Mariotta in my opinion is ready to play nfl football today, At number 2 he'd have to be a starter just on the money he'd get for that pick. It's ridiculous to say the least. I don't think Pace wants to crash and burn. But hey, one never knows.

They obviously see what has been happening for last 6 years as the QB being the reason once again the Bears can't win a championship.

Maybe they are trading up for Williams, the buzz is Mariota, but perhaps that is a smoke screen.
If you can get to 2 and dump Cutler they should do it.
Who they pick from there is the debate.

Everything is a smokescreen. Bears want a defensive guy or a WR to drop to them. Philly have the hots for Mariota. Titans and Cleveland want a viable QB. Bears don't want a team to move up and pick a player they want. If Mariota is there at 7, then the Bears will trade down due to the fact the Bears projected guys were picked.

- ND is horrible.
Not really when you think about it....they HAVE NO ANSWER at QB in 2015 and there is apparently a good chance the regime is gone with another mediocre yr.
They're stuck between a rock and a hard place.
CEOs making 7-8 figure salaries and living like emperors will not always act in the long or even medium term best interests of an organization when their personal interests don't coincide with the company's interests.
This is a particular quirk of American style capitalism and the NFL. A coach/GM can be acting both perfectly rationally vis a vis his interests and yet be acting against the interests of the franchise he works for in the medium and long term.

You are quite entertaining. First of all drafting a potential franchise QB buys Pace years and is far from a move that would be considered a "job killer".
Secondly Mariota has everything you would want in a QB and there is no reason he can't start. Every rookie QB is going to go through growing pains but at least there will be growth unlike our current situation.
Finally, under the current rookie wage scale a QB selected at #2 is paid along the lines of what the average backup claims in the open market.
