Jay Cutler.

We should not have lost that game.

The Bears aren't very good, but Cutler isn't shitty. Another misinformed idea around here.

And yes, we should have not lost that game.

Please do some research before you open your mouth.

And there have been a few spread system QBs to work out in the NFL. Rodgers, Romo, McNabb, and Culpepper are a few.

And if you really want to go this far... even Chase Daniel.

They require time and patience. If you draft one in the 1st round and expect them to automatically integrate the new principles they work on in one offseason just for the sake of getting them important snaps so you don't waste their 1st round contract, you're going to get a bad QB.

THAT'S the big difference between the spread QBs who fail and the ones who can find success.

At the very least, this team needs a new DC, a new play caller and a new QB.

I'm shocked that when we face a defense playing at an all time great level, everything doesn't "work".

Sometimes I think in reality, some people are just morons.

We're in the middle of rehashing the 2004 season.

Because Chiefs.

Well, for ****s sake...forgive me for using the wrong term. I really dont GAF what it's called, I dont want the QB that plays for a college school that is the 'best athlete' on the field that typically bails out his team with a scramble, pull the ball down and run for the TD, cause that shit doesnt work in the NFL. I would prefer a QB who plays in a system and in a way that works in the NFL...those types of QB's that have to use their teammates rather than their other worldly speed to win games have more success in the league called the NFL.

I love the whole argument "Well of course things don't go well when you go against good defenses, duh!"






...


Isn't that the whole point of trading for a veteran QB and getting an established HC ... to mitigate the advantage of an opponent having a superior defense?

No one is willing to let a 1st round QB sit for more than one year, if they even get that. No team will put in the time necessary to groom them...

Which is why this is the perfect year to take one. Smith isn't going anywhere for another year (barring major injury). Might as well draft one and let him sit for a year.

Probably not...
