No it couldn't be.
One of these two men has a direct impact on who is on the team. The other doesn't. Cutler isn't building the team around him. Epstein is controlling players, coaches, etc at all levels. Cutler being on the team may impact indirectly who Angelo targets, but Cutler isn't making the choices. Angelo is.
Epsteins success>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.Cutler's success before coming to Chicago. Cutler was a young up and coming QB who made a Pro Bwol despite Phillip Rivers being better. Epstein is a young GM who is already one of the best in the game and has two championships in one of the toughest markets in baseball(fan base/criticism wise).
The rest of your post was pointless. Again, Cutler can't build the team around himself. He has virutally no control over player personnel decisions. Epstein will be building an entire system once he gets here. There is no reasonable comparison between the two other than Chicago fans being meatheads about it all. Rickett's has shown himself so far to be rather hands off with Hendry, so much so as to letting him trade etc even after he was "fired". I really doubt the fanbase has any realistic worries of Rickett's being too control happy in terms of Epstein and the FO anymore than any average owner would be.
Comparing Epstein to Cutler is ridiculous. One is much more important than the other.
You wasted your time typing out the differences between a player and a general manager. The expectations are absolutely the same despite the fact they play different roles: They're both being viewed upon as saviors to right the ship of their organizations at their respective positions. Do you really think that I didn't know that the roles they play in doing that are different?
Cutler throws 26 interceptions in 2009 and gets criticized for not being the next coming of Tom Brady even though people are so stupid to see that the offense sucks, can't protect him and he's not the best decision maker when it comes to throwing the ball. No one, at least not the dumbasses, cared that Angelo didn't try to get him a competent wide receiver when he got here. People expected him to throw 50 yard bombs every week to a guy like Devin Hester with a 162 year old Orlando Pace trying to protect him. They just figured "he's Jay Cutler who threw for 4,000+ yards and went to a Pro Bowl" and didn't consider that the talent on the Bears was far less lucrative than what he had in Denver...
Let's just say, the Cubs lose 90 games again next year. Epstein gets criticized because the meatballs expect a World Series victory right now because he's Theo Epstein, the man who brought two championships to Boston for the first time after years of torment. Of course, this is just one of many possible scenarios that could happen in 2012...
Each of them will get criticized for different things in their roles but the fact that both of them are being expected to do big things are completely the same.
Again, the main point is they're being expected to go above and beyond right away just because both of them had success elsewhere in their roles.
You type up Epstein's success >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Cuter's success
When the **** was I comparing their successes to each other? You're the one who seems to want to turn this into a dick measuring contest between Cutler and Epstein.
The only thing that is comparable between the two are expectations in their respective roles.....Have I said that enough now? Or are you so fucking stupid that you can't comprehend what I'm trying to say?
Although if the CS are wrapped up quickly it could be a weekend thing.
