^ poetic no doubt. Average is better than anything else we have had. I know we get frustrated by Jay, but making bad football decisions doesn't help. With that being said if we found a better option, I would be all for replacing Jay. I'm not sure how this thread went from me saying I don't think Jay is the main problem to me "saying" I want to keep Jay at all costs. I just don't want to be stuck in the same position we were for the past 20 years with a QB who really is not qualified to win in the NFL.
If Jay does finish top 5 in TD passes, and we get rid of him without another viable option, everyone will soon renember what having a terrible QB can do to an offense. That's all I have been saying from the beginning. It's as though you have to either hate Jay or love him, being in the middle and saying he isn't the main problem isn't allowed.
As a lifelong follower of the bears... I am well versed in knowing how much it sucks not having a good QB.
Every bit of common sense said to cut ties with Cutler (or franchise him at the very least) and blow this team up for a rebuild.
I was all for a top to bottom, 4-12 rebuild after last year with the new regime. I could live with growing pains.
But to limp along with an angelo/smith team that is falling apart faster than Emery can slap free agent band-aids over the holes was doomed to failure.
Cutler is just the focal point of a horrible systematic failure.
