The Ironies of McCown to Tampa

[Raskolnikov]

that would be some weird shit.

Lovie pushed out of Chicago unable to solve offense takes a year off and then poaches the back-up from….

Chicago. wtf?


Does McCown take the offense with him like Peyton Manning? Take the playbook Josh.

 

[PrimeTime]

McCown knows that the only place he can excel at the QB position in the twilight of his career is in Trestman's offense with an extremely talented offense around him. He has two choices to make:
(a) Sign with the Bears as a backup and probably get a chance to lead them when Cutler gets injured.
(b) Sign for more money elsewhere, possibly as a starter and fail miserably like he has everywhere else in his career.

Ironic in the Alanis Morrestte way perhaps.

With that Tedford guy from Cal being OC there's got to be some vet QB who played for him they could get to compete as a vet backup.

Pretty much.

But several million more dollars over 2-3 years is far more important than being in Trestman's offense in my opinion. If I were McCown I would take the most Money I could get and set my family up for generations.

If McCown's smart, he'll resign here as a backup because at some point during the season he'll become the starter.

Oh yeah?

 

[Scoot26]

Oh yeah?

I guarantee you Jay Cutler gets injured again.

 

[nvanprooyen]

I guarantee you Jay Cutler gets injured again.

I hope not. But you're probably right.

 

[Midway Fields]

I guarantee you Jay Cutler gets injured again.

I guarantee you he finishes top 10 in passing tds and passing yards.

McCown is staying a bear. Just like prime time said the only place he has ever excelled was the Bears. He will get paid by the bears and it's easy to resign with the team that have you the shot to come back in the nfl.

 

[Scoot26]

I hope not. But you're probably right.

Oh I hope not either. But he's had one healthy year here. 2009, which was his first year here and it was before he really started taking constant beatings.

 

[Scoot26]

So the loser of their guarantee has to.....?

 

[Bearfanfromnewjersey]

I agree with this! Cutler gonna have a big year

 

[Slacker]

Whether it happens or not you're kind of a **** for saying that.

 

[Scoot26]

Perhaps, but to me its more reason to make sure we keep McCown.

But how much of that money is guaranteed will be the sticky point. If McCown takes what looks like the more money deal, but lays a dud in his first chance with that new team, the likelihood of him getting another chance will be small IMO. If he stays here as the backup for $1 mil or something to that effect, he should be able to stretch that out for a few years if he keeps looking good. So he could wind up actually making more money as a backup here, than going and risking it all on another team. At least here he knows the system, knows he has good weapons, and knows he can play well. Would he risk all that to go get low end starter money on the Jaguars or another team like that?

I seriously doubt that anyone is going to want 35 year old starter who has failed in ever system he has ever been in except for Trestman's. He may get some more money to be a backup somewhere but he won't be a starter..... Unless it's Cleveland. They don't have a fucking clue

Yea take the only 10% of trestmans playbook that was used when mccown was on the field because he couldn't throw the other 75% of plays

the other 5% goes against his religion
