Mel Tucker's status with Bears up in the air (ESPN)

[TL1961]

Packers will win. No way the 49ers show up in that weather.

49'ers will bludgeon the Packers.

The entire Tucker thing was weird.

We feel comfortable complimenting him, but not telling you he will be back.

I the evaluation is on going why even bring him up at all and why not not answer the questions till you have something to say.

 

[TL1961]

Besides drafting Shea and resigning Jay for Rodgers $, you're right.

He signed Cutler for the right money. Quit bitching.

He signed Cutler for the right money. Quit bitching.

Because the people that agree with it say so?

Per ESPN Insider Mike Sando: Per ESPN Insider Mike Sando- "Yeah, he could have gotten more if he went to the market," a long-time NFL salary-cap analyst said. "I think we're losing perspective of salaries and what is an appropriate salary for a guy. This is now what you pay a starting quarterback you'd rather have than not have. 'He is not elite or special, but he's ours and we have a chance with him.' There you go. That is $18 million. That is where we are."

I think the determining factor is not whether he was worth it, but rather what he cost. This is what Cutler cost.

He got paid the market rate. You can be angry with Detroit and Baltimore, but I don't see what good that does. Heading into next year with a 35-year old journeyman who was bound to come back to earth with no backup is not a plan. Franchising Cutler and having his entire number count against the cap would hamstring Emery's ability to address defensive holes. That's not a viable plan. Lowballing Cutler and letting him hit the open market so that TEN or MIN or any of the other teams desperate for an answer at QB can sign him is not a plan. In a business of imperfect solutions, Emery chose the least bad option. And Trestman thinks he can work with the guy, and I trust him a heckuvalot more than some anonymous Bears fan behind a computer.

The anti-Cutler crowd sure complains a lot, but when it comes to suggesting realistic solutions they're remarkably quiet.
