RIPPA Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 He might be better off just calling it a career, collecting the money Snyder will still owe him, and getting one of those cushy studio jobs, and waiting around to see how his HOF case plays out down the road. He has no HOF case outside of two Super Bowl rings and if that is the qualification, he can get in line behind Tom Flores. Oh BTW - Flores was another guy who won SB rings as a player and coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Spanish Waiter Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Are you ready? No, Chi Town, I said, are you ready? QB CONTROVERSY TIME! Jay "seriously I hurt my knee I didn't just give up" Cutler is starting in place of Josh McClown! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paragon11 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I think it's only a controversy is Cutler craps the bed against the Browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So please make your way to Chicago so I can get this out of my system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I'm with Rippa, actually. As a Bears fan, this move makes such little sense. Why Trestman isn't going with the hot hand is beyond me. The Browns are no joke and it feels like that offense is more McCown's offense than it is Cutler's. If McCown is suffering, or if the Bears are up big, then bring in Cutler. I guess you could say the same about bringing in McCown, but I at least feel more comfortable about McCown keeping the team in the game than I do Cutler keeping the team in the game.

Makes sense to me. McKown is playing some slick ball for sure, but Cutler was playing his best before injury and you gotta see if he really can be the franchise guy before you go into negotiations with him at the end of the season.

jaedmc Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 HOWEVER... he's probably throwing an INT in the first 4 snaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 The idea of seeing what Cutler can do for next year is a solid point, but even if that wasn't part of the equation I would still start Cutler if he is healthy. We can't afford to start someone who is a game manager at this point because our defense is a travesty. McCown has been great against bad defenses (Cowboys, injured Packers) and mediocre against average defenses (Vikings, *Rams). He is playing better than any of us could hope for, but the numbers are inflated by the poor quality of competition, our increasingly terrible defense (we have to throw more) and a bunch of dropped interceptions (2 or 3 in the Cowboy's game alone). Cutler was playing well before he went down. McCown is great and all, but he is still 3-2 against 5 beatable teams and those losses sting. I was there live when the Rams single covered Brandon 40 yards down field. I watched us lose a game we had no business losing against the Vikings. Also, it's not like he hasn't had hot stretches before (I think he even won his job back from Kurt Warner for a couple games), but those stretches end. Here is my main point. We have to win out no matter what, and while McCown is the safer option, we have absolutely no chance of beating a playoff team with a combo of McCown and the Bears D. Cutler might lose one of these next three, but he can also beat a good defense. He is one of 5 or 6 guys in the league who can make throws that are indefensible. If we somehow do win out, and the Lions fuck it up like we know they will, Da Bears could go into Seattle with a 0% chance of winning or we could go into Seattle with a 5% chance. I'll take the 5% *That group might be a little better than average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Spanish Waiter Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 McCown has heart though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I'm not sure what I would do. Here's the thing with McCown. The guy is 34-years old and has bounced around the league for over a decade. He's a solid backup and is on a major hot streak but it's hard to believe he's figured it out and is going to play like this for the remainder of the season. I'm not sure you can throw him out there and risk him blowing a huge game while a healthy Cutler sits on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 McCown has heart though. I was going to make up a penis joke because I wanted to be silly. So I was like "Okay - this will work better if he has a hot wife" And yeah... apparently McCown married a former call girl. I had no idea what to do with that piece of information. EDIT - WAIT NEVERMIND!!!! That is CADE McCown who married the former call girl. Josh McCown's wife/girlfriend seems totally non call girlish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 There is also that strange anti-Porn PSA starring Josh McCown floating around. Not sure if it has been posted here, but if it was Cutler instead of McCown it would be on this page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Here it is: http://vimeo.com/19019852 Basically he says Porn is like finding out you just landed in Detroit. No really. So yeah, even though that analogy is funny, I'm not as much into Josh McKown as I was like two minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogwelder Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 So anyone have a handy scorecard as to who's pro RG3 and who's pro Cousins? Because when I see Kyle state that he'd rather have RG3 start, but then Jason Whitlock says Mike is showing that RG3 needs to learn humility...well, I'm just really confused.

jaedmc Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I actually grew up with a couple of families named McKown, and I don't pay enough attention to what I'm writing. EDIT: HA! I DID ONCE! Something tells me... Josh McCown should be ready to jump in at a moment's notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
