Chicago Bears Got Cutler!!!!

[boozeboxer]

Comparing Cutler to Elway? Cutler couldn't carry John's jockstrap.

Elway also had: Rod Smith, Ed McCaffrey, Shannon Sharpe (one of if not the best TE ever), and 2,000 yd rusher Terrell Davis.

So although Elway was a great QB, he also had great players around him. No QB's really do well without a good supporting cast...Marino and maybe Tom Brady (pre Randy Moss) have done great without really great players around them.

Even Brady before he had the big time weapons he had a great pass protecting line, he could just sit back there and look around.

I agree - So why doesnt elway hold the Broncos single season record for yards passing Cutler does, has only been in the leadue 4 years and didnt have the weapons Elway had....

I am not saying he is better than elway by any means but that is an impressive feat....

Orton was a terrible QB, I watched all of the Bears games I dont think you did.

All I am saying is the bears had a chance to pick up a YOUNG QB that has proven over 4 seasons he has the tools to compete and be a top 5 QB in the league, that is worth 2 1st round picks in my book. It is a much better gamble than the two first round selections we would have gotten.

Because he didn't have a 2000 yard rusher in Terrel Davis is exactly the reason he broke the record, if they had a good rushing attack he wouldn't have thrown for that many yards. I think I heard they only had two 100 yard rushing games last year, they just chucked it, hence all the passing yards.

The Broncos have pretty good weapons at WR, Marshall, Eddie Royal.

Elway didnt have Davis all 15 years and one of the things that opens up your passing game is having a great runner.

Didn't win a Super Bowl w/o him either but more likely the reason he doesn't hold the record is Reeves. I think some of yall are just being haters. We all know how hard it is to draft a top QB. The list of huge failures way out does the success stories. Cutler is a young Pro Bowl QB who has played very well with several years of productivity left. These are the facts. It is possible he may stumble in Chicago, but as a team that has struggled finding an answer at QB I think it was a pretty good gamble.

[Violent Demise]

Can't blame Cutler for this situation. The blame falls on the biitch ass coach. He pretty much stabbed Cutler in the back.

Yes but its pretty hard to throw for 4600 yards or whatever when you're running the ball enough to get 2000 yards with one back. It makes the passing game more efficient but its just simple logic that you're not going to be passing enough to reach that kind of level.

He can be compared to a young Elway I guess, still a stretch I think but who cares, but he still has a ways to go and he needs to toughen up.
