Good point.
The Bears are a franchise.
Jay is a quarterback.

I agree the OL is a missing piece to a better football team as a whole, but individually compare Cutty to a Rogers, Brady, Manning, etc. there's missing intangible there... something off the field perhaps... possibly on the preparation side of the game.
Granted though Cutty shows up on (most) game days... i'd imagine half the pass completions to BMarsh this season were broken plays (largely to crappy line play) that Cutty single-handedly extended the play and hurled the ball to single, double or triple coverage even.
Ponder is playing this weekend while Cutler is not... surviving is not the goal, playing well enough to help your team make the playoffs is...Ponder did that, Cutler did not...no problem with the ranking...
Name their WR's(w/out using the internet to search for them) and tell me they are better then ours top to bottom.....ready set go!
Even when Cutler had time this year he still misfired far to often. And he's not the only QB to suffer WR drops. Ya AP is special, and I think he deserves MVP(he's doing what he's doing in a pass friendly league, not run friendly), but Ponder is actually not playing poorly right now...and there were times this year(far more then many want to admit) where Cutler did.
Man your right ALL JC's fault. Funny how an avg. QB can be so good when the D isn't just firing themselves at the QB and getting there.
