Right, because had we not acquired Cutler, we would have ben able to pick up talent like peppers, Chris Harris and Chester Taylor. Damn, we never shouldve gotten Cutler, we really missed the boat.

Good job giving two 30+ year old players who are past their prime $96 million between the both of them. That is definitely a winning formula just look at the dozens of rings Dan Snyder brought to Washington.

Of course you havent, your football knowledge or lack thereof is pretty evident.

And julius Peppers just turned 30 in January, a DE with 8 years in the league is hardly "past his prime"

Im guessing the other player you were referring to is Chester Taylor, if so , he is 30 years old, just like peppers, so im not sure where your "30+ years" shit comes from. But yes, 30 years old is not young for a RB, fortunately he has spent the last few years as APs backup, so he is young for a 30yo RB, less wear and tear

If he was a franchise QB Denver wouldn't have won just as many games without him as we did with him the year before. Do you think the Colts would go to the Super Bowl this year if they got rid of their franchise QB? Would the Saints?

It has been said that a franchise QB spots you 10 wins year in and year out. Cutler hasn't had a winning record as a starting QB since high school.

Your defense sucked when you had him. Takes a TEAM to win games. Now your defense was ok but your QB sucked. Its ok, toss enough QBs at the problem and youll figure it out eventually, trust me, Bears fans know. (and the correct answer is : steal a Probowl QB in his prime from a stupid team)
