Id like to see Clausson out there. I think his pedigree is a little better downfield than McCown and he too, possibly, would be less prone to bad decisions and staring down.
I don't. Clausen is a bandaid. He's a backup who may not even be on the roster.
The season is effectively over. If 10-6 is the metric to get to be in the playoff picture, it's done. They aren't going 7-1 in their remaining games. They WILL miss the post season.
The Bears have $127M invested in Cutler. He must be on the field for every snap. He must work with his offense to develop chemistry and rhythm going into next season. Spend the remaining 8 games fixing the offense with the talent they have and coaching up the young guys on D. Shea and DJ Williams should never see the field again. Roll Bostic, Sharpton, Vereen and whomever else out their to see what they can really do with ample playing time. There's no value in rolling out guys like Williams and Shea who won't be on this team any more. The 'best chance' to win thing is out the window at this point.
