For now, Hoyer deserves to start for Bears over Cutler

I agree Hoyer should start again, but what do you do when he has a Hoyer type game, do you go back to Cutler? What about 2 bad games in a row? Now we are jumping between 2 starting QBs. I don't like it.

If it were me I would "delay" Cutlers recovery. If Hoyer keeps up his level of play 2 more games, great. If not you can say "Jay is healthy now, he is our guy."

No way to know for sure, JABF, but you have to admit the "surrounding cast" (run game, pass pro, White actually making plays that mattered) was light years better yesterday.  I didn't see Hoyer leading us to a win in Dallas when that stuff wasn't there, did you?

I knew BH having a good game and getting a win was going to bring these hyperbolic reactions.  I'm glad he played well and I agree he's one of the better "vet backups" (who can get you wins against lesser competition), but there's a reason why he isn't a starter anywhere else anymore.  Let's not forget that this same guy threw 4 picks in the wildcard game just 8 months ago.

Jay Cutler, no matter what the plan is for 2017, still gives this team its best chance to win and he should be the starter when healthy.  Nether Cutler nor Hoyer had much to work with the first 3 games.  

Where was this run game, this pass pro, and this playcalling the last 3 weeks?

Leming reaching now saying he would not be surprised if Cutler got put on IR.

It still wouldn't surprise me if the #Bears announce Jay Cutler to IR sometime within the next week or two. Something just off w/ it all IMO

I agree its tough to bench a guy who just put up a 120 QBR.  The next 2 weeks will be interesting since we face 2 garbage teams with poor defenses.  Whoever plays should look good in those games.  Note I said "should".  

I'd like to see Cutler put up big numbers just for future trade value as I assume this is his last season here.  If its Hoyer in the starting role as the "hot hand", the real tests will be the 2 games after that (GB & Minny) where he won't be facing softball defenses.  I suspect the Hoyer-train will come off the rails then.
