2017 CHICAGO BEARS Off-Season Thread
- Thread starter Madrox
- Start date
Tonite should be the launching point of the search for the Bears QB for the future. Maybe the kid from Notre Dame?
The defense has flown to the ball all night. I can't get too mad at them even though they bit two fakes BADLY. But the O is uninspired just like the QB.

Philly is tough now
They believe in Wentz

This is tabernacle.
Also, Cutler will be out for a extended period. IMO it's for the better.
I think we'll look like shit with Hoyer too, but it's whatever. Our qb of the future is not on the roster.
Connor Shaw would've been interesting. .
Yep. Hopefully he can rehab and get his shot next year.
Yes it is time for Cutler to go, but too bad mckaskeys and bean-counter teddy phillips are
influencing the football decisions even with GM-Pace taking the helm a season ago.
Hopefully, the morons at halas hall have the balls to drop cutler after this season.
Being a BEARS fan, I am use to ineptness at the QB position, since we never had an all-pro QB before.

link to board?
You niggas are beyond ass... You niggas are FLAT ASS...
I know we have issues with injuries, personnel tough schedules etc....but im actually shocked at how shitty this team is.
I didnt expect us to be a SB team this year, but I did think we'd find a way to sneak into a WildCard spot. But after seeing two teams that I thought would be a afterthought (Lions and Vikings) playing better than us with less weapons....the playoffs are out the question (unless something catastrophic happens to some other NFC team).
I wanna type some other things that i saw, what we need via FA, drafts etc....but its too late to be typing long ass comments.
So I'll just save it until the end of the season.
BEARS!!!!!!!

Jordan Howard is a nice RB. It would be nice if Langford could get his bs together once he comes back; run harder and catch the ball some like he did during the final quarter of last year. We'd have a good 1-2 punch.
Even if Cutler is healthy, no way he should start again unless Hoyer absolutely shits the bed (how he could do any worse than anything Cutler has done at his worst is up for debate).
Offense is not hitting the big downfield plays, but assets are being utilized in ways that don't happen when Jay locks on to one or two dudes. White, a speed guy, is able to get the ball in a possession receiver role. The kid Howard looked really good and had some tough runs, including a few spins that netted 3-4 more yards on a couple of plays. Line looked their best all year. Best of all, Hoyer hasn't turned the ball over.
I think this defense is ok enough to, if the offensive can move the ball a BIT and put up 17-24 points a game, help this team win another 3, maybe 4 games. But as long as he's healthy, Hoyer needs to be starting until otherwise not needed. Cutler's money is guaranteed so forgot worrying about the money invested in him; it was a bad bet and losing gamble. Time to role with someone who'll let you see what assets you have on offense for 2017.

Cutler and his bitchass personality can go now.
I mean... Jay isn't the QB of the future, and no he hasn't been the Bears saviour, but the way some of you guys are talking you'd think Hoyer didn't throw 4 pics against the last quality team he played against... Hoyer has looked like a backup QB in 2 starts again 2 avg to below avg defenses and now people are like "yeah Hoyer needs to start from now on???" Naaa man. The Bears suck, but I'm not trying to watch Kyle Orton 2.0 for the next 12 games. Since I'm not emotionally invested in this season Jay is entertaining atleast. Some throws that make you shake your head, some throws that make you tip the cap. But he makes it interesting.
Im no Hoyer superfan in the slightest, but at least he seems motivated and made decent decisions today. Guys seem to like playing with him and want to make plays for him. They got everyone involved today too. I actually think he's better than Cutler at getting through his progressions. But clearly not as talented.
Cutler is THAT much of a dark cloud that Id rather have Hoyer play until we get a vet to beat him out or groom a young QB for the future. Think about it Cutler is more physically talented, but straight up, he's a loser. And a pouter. And more easily rattled. He's had some comeback wins ill give him that, but he is not consistently good at anything, not even with intangibles like leadership or toughness.
Im off that train.
^THIS
Kevin White has shown flashes with Hoyer that make the Bears drafting him at #7 look justified. Hoyer is checking down his reads and finding Royal. On top of it all, he's not turning over the ball.
@Mt. Yukon I get your Orton 2.0 point, but Orton would have had us in SB40 in '05 if he'd stayed the starter. What Jay gives you ain't winning games. What's fucked up is that I'm convinced he was headed for an all pro year in 2011 when he fucked up his thumb making that tackle (after an INT, go figure). But since then, he's been Rex Grossman 2.0.
My thing is this: I tend to like a player for at least one of these reasons...
Dependability/Consistency
Talent
Potential
Winner
I was pro Cutler due to his talent and potential but have seen enough of his body of work to know he just cant put it all together. All them coaches that have come through here? How many OCs? Its time for us to move fwd without him.
Also when something goes wrong or we take these Ls, I honestly get the feeling that he thinks its never really his fault. Who wants a dude like that at QB?
