I guess JJ Watt's success is purely because the offenses they play against doesn't know how to run plays.

I guess JJ Watt's success is purely because the offenses they play against doesn't know how to run plays.
Watt has more TDs than the Chiefs receivers
You're right, film doesn't lie. Like when Cutler holds onto the ball too long which happened when he got crushed in the back on a broken screen pass instead of throwing the ball into the dirt. Or not being able to read the field properly making poor reads and missing open receivers. He could have dumped it off to Forte on 3rd and 1 but he goes for a 50 yard incompletion instead. He leads the league in ints for a reason. The rest of the team being garbage doesn't absolve Cutler. I don't see how the team moves him so you'll get your wish of having him continue as starting QB.
I'm glad you're staying positive too!

Hey, as long as they are making it into the endzone, it doesn't matter who is scoring touchdowns. Jaguars seem to hit a force field whenever they reach the redzone.
I'm sure the Steelers secondary will let Bowe score!
It's going to have to be a catch and run, though, because I don't think Alex has the arm to throw it past 20 yards.
Cutler is playing with two Pro Bowl receivers, a pro bowl running back, and a pro bowl guard. Who ya crapping about talent?
Marty Bennett is a damn good TE too.
I'm the same mindset, doesn't really matter who gets TDs in any given game, it certainly changes the game plan when you realize the Chiefs maybe aren't so much a deep threat.
Alex was throwing a couple bombs in the Raiders game, so he's learning!

That's rough!
Every other QB gets absolved, Eli, Brady, Luck, whoever Cle's QB is this week.
I'd like to see you try and do the bolded, with the guy who hits you come from your blind spot because you think your lineman has him blocked. The only person in the world who can do that currently is Aaron Rodgers.
That 3rd and 1, I'm not sure which play exactly you're talking about, but it happens alot because Forte sits in a zone, covered by a linebacker instead of moving around on the rollout, which leads to Forte getting hit immediately when he gets the ball.
You guys can't have it both ways. Either complain Cutler is bad at making reads, or that he whips it in there by focusing on one player. Which would have been Martellus last night, not whoever he threw the 50 yard incompletion too.
If he was bad at reads, he wouldn't be chucking it down the field in a 1on1 matchup with two of the biggest WRs in the NFL, he would be dumping it off every play like every Bears QB in the Shoop offense or Bridgewater does.
Lead the league in turnovers year after year, get absolved of the blame by mouth breathing homers, must be good being Jay.

Man, he was so great that Dallas ddin't let him go to NY, and NY didn't let him leave.
Man, you even use the Score's terminology! Brett Favre lead the league in turnovers year after year, even has the INT record, Jay plays like Favre, it comes with the territory of being a "gunslinger."
But hey, I bet you still have your Rex Grossman jersey in your closet because he got to the Super Bowl!
Zychi, you do realize the two go together. Cutler makes bad reads because he locks onto one target early and rarely goes through the proper progression.
Also, I'm not sure what is so hard about throwing the ball into the dirt instead of taking a big hit. Many QBs know how to do this.

It's amazing how not being in the playoff hunt influences a decision.
If you want to use that argument, why does he get sacked so much? You don't want to blame the line, you want to blame him holding onto the ball, which is because he's going through his progressions. I guess he must be going through his progressions with another set of eyes, while focusing on one WR with another set of eyes?
Ok, thanks!
Now you are making up arguments. Where am I only blaming Cutler? I've been ranting on this whole team for weeks. I want a complete blow up and rebuild Cubs style. I would only keep a handful of players and start over.

Fuck the Cubs
The blame on the screen and not the backside blocking. It's so hard to tell the difference between all the anti-Cutler sheep, and actual football fans who realize there are more problems then just the QB. I apologize for lumping you in with the idiots MrBob
You're killing me Dutch, how can anyone hate the Cubs...0 since before even the great war
Brooks is going to get cut after the season as well. All those draft picks the last two years are going to pay off while the Niners take a rough $10m+ dead money hit next year.
At this point, he probably doesn't even know any of the QBs' names.

I get that you're trying to stay positive but this guy tore both ACL's in college and is now IRed due to knee issues. That has to be a little unsettling.
They did it for the Samardzja press conference yesterday. They do it for everything. What's the point of even broadcasting the press conference? ESPN doesn't do it anymore at all. The sports radio stations in Chicago are terrible :/
Everyone wants to be with the Cubs. Should be an exciting year.

I only like B&B. I'm a very casual sports fan.
As compensation for stealing Jon Lester, Cubs will give the Red Sox Edwin Jackson in return. One pitcher for another!

Tebow for president.
FMT told me he was innocent though.
This is a new charge I believe

if he wasn't charged then he was "innocent". it's kind of like dick sherman being caught cheating but gets off on a technicality. technically he wasn't charge with an infraction!
also of course the niners released him now. we're out of the playoffs and he was going to be an offseason cut anyways. win win!
This is some compensation for the organization just letting Maddux walk, being 10 when that happened and not a local, I was pissed at Maddux, then came the internet and I find out it was because the cubs just didn't give a shit about re-signing him...but don't worry, his ERA will spike to 5.5 for his time with the cubbies...
Their fans make it quite easy.
Yeah but Sherm wasn't accused of raping someone, beating his girl, shooting up his own party, murdering innocent trees while high off his ass, or making bomb threats!

well yes, i think if you give ANY QB plenty of time to throw he's going to find some degree of success. as with every QB who sucks, there are other factors than just the QB. the problem is when there are other QB's in the league that are finding more success under the same conditions (poor O-line) AND making less money.... well then that is a problem
Even though Smith is a cowardly bitchass fraud even he will be tempted to throw downfield against our dogshit secondary.
When the receiver is running free and has a 10 yard cushion with no one behind him it is tough not to throw to him.
I am hoping that Alex's bitchass instincts make him check down when it happens assuming that no one could be that wide open in the NFL and that we are baiting him instead of manning up and lighting us up.
