How Jay Cutler Was Sabotaged From The Start In Chicago

Yeah, then we would be 0-11 with the first pick.

Seriously though, I really am tired of hoping for losses to get a good pick and rebuild the team. That was supposed to be a one year, two year thing max and this must be the third year I am hoping for losses. This is not the way it's supposed to be.

I strongly agree with this.  In my lifetime there have been many players drafted that were clearly special talents at their position.  They came to the NFL and dominated.  I think it is easier to predict some player positions easier than QB too.  Here are the top two picks of NFL drafts going back to 1960 (LINK) and looking over that list I can see a lot of players whom were clearly believed (at the time) to be very very special at the NFL level and they were.

Yes, there are bust too.  Especially at QB.  I believe the QB position is THE most difficult position to predict in the draft.  Yes, they all are difficult.  But the transition from college to pro at the QB position is at another level IMHO.  Guys like Ndamukong Suh, Bruce Smith, Calvin Johnson (just a couple of examples) were dead-bang givens to make it big in the NFL.  

Soul, he's started 5 of 11 games; and most of the games he's started weren't played well. It's not all on him, but in 5 games he has 1 win; same as his backup and 4th string qb have, even in 2 more games. In those 5 games he was sacked 13 more times; lvl of competition doesn't make up for that # so don't say it's all on who he's faced.

There is no doubt that if the Bears bring Cutler back, they are continuing to stall the inevitable. Obviously Bell, nor does anyone else, think the Bears are going 0-16, no matter who is at qb, but the fact remains Cutler hasn't been the deciding factor in winning seasons for awhile, hence the record, so move on and target the next qb you think can.

This is where I am as well. Well I have reservations about how easy it is going to be the equal or even surpass Cutler's positive skill set (physical +mental + everything else), his negatives at this point require him gone. Every draft is claimed to be the worst in recent history as far as QBs go. Bears need a day 1 or 2 qb to start the rebuild behind. Cutting Cutler in an attempt to improve the position is the first step. I'd also let Hoyer go, that's how far I would l go. Go into 2017 with Rookie/Berkley/Show or Rookie/Berkley/rookie.
