Buy low, sell high? Bears bench Cutler for Jimmy Clausen

[swiper]

Well, NOBODY is as BIG a pussy as Orton, sliding short of a first down on Fourth & one.

Sadly I agree he didn't turn out to be the answer. I hate Manuel so ****ing much that I was willing to overlook a lot with Orton. But the "I don't care" way he carries himself isn't cool in Buffalo.

Cutler is like that too. Plus he's a raving *******.

As it will play out, Cutler may have other teams as suitors like the Jets or Titans.

Only an idiot would pay the money it would take to get Cutler in a Buffalo uniform.

Is he better than Orton? Probably, but it would be an incremental upgrade.

This is it. Not worth the trouble or money.

This may be correct.

But I would go with EJ & Tuel next year over Orton.

for an under-achieving cancer? Yeah, there's a front office out there that needs a good house-cleaning, but it sure isn't in Buffalo.

WHAT A CANCER! You're probably in the lockerroom and around the Bears more than us though, so that's how you've come to that assumption.

When the decision was made, I didn’t stick around and ask a lot of questions,” Cutler said. “I didn’t take it well at the time. I’ll try to help Jimmy and make sure that he’s ready on a short week.”

With the news that the Chicago Bears replaced him as their starting quarterback for Jimmy Clausen, he has the same questions about his future with the team that everyone else has had.

“Yeah, of course. Everyone would wonder that,” Cutler said in a press conference Thursday that was broadcast on NFL Network. “That’s the natural response to wonder that. Going forward, it is what it is. Whatever happens at that point after the season, in March or whenever, we’ll cross that when we get there.

Cutler was shocked to hear he was being benched, then he was disappointed, he said. But he understood it. His $126 million contract he signed this past offseason raised the bar for his play, and he didn’t reach it.

"There’s a lot of money involved in my contract, which comes with a lot of expectations and a lot of responsibility," Cutler said. "Whenever you’re not winning and performing the way you should, there’s a likelihood that could happen."

We have a Cutler apologist in our midst!

Well, at least no Orton apologists are left.

Was I the last one?

Was I the last one?

Could be, but probably not. A friend I watch the games with supported Orton until the 3rd Qtr last Sunday.

Orton had a decent game for how badly our line played. Our defense couldn't get off the field on 3rd and 22. That was the difference in the game. We make a stop there, they punt it and we catch the ball at the 50 yard line down two points. We probably could have gotten into game winning field goal range on the punt return. Corey Graham cost us the playoffs on that one play.
