Default If Cutler Were Tebow...

They'd be calling for his head tonight after this performance against the Packers.

If he was the Bears QB you mean? Yeah, probably. It was a terrible performance despite the terrible O-line play, which shouldn't fall on Cutler. If you mean as Jets QB, then you are living in fantasy land as he is not the QB. And if Sanchez was hurt and Tebow was starting, he would have been benched for McElroy by halftime.

Either situation is hypothetical and equally unrealistic. I don't understand how you think one scenario has me living in a fantasy land and the other one doesn't.

Yes if Tim Tebow was the Bears QB tonight and had that performance.

Yeah, no doubt Tebow would be hearing it more than Cutler but that is because Cutler does this all the time. Then next week he will throw 4TD. Tebow never has a big game at QB. He might be able to squeak out a win for you, but that does not make up for terrible games like tonight was for Cutler. Also, if Tebow was on the Bears, he would have been beaten out for the starting job by Jason Campbell.

Man I know this might be controversial but I honestly think that Cutler is the very worst franchise QB in the NFL. There are worse QBs in the NFL no doubt but those QBs that are worse are not considered franchise material.

So worst franchise QB = Cutler..., yes a BIG arm but also terrible decision making, holds on to the ball forever, terrible sideline demeanor, questionable leadership skills, wildly inconsistent play from game to game etc.

One of the analysts, maybe Deion Sanders said Cutler never wins under pressure or in a big situation. I don't know if that is accurate or not, but from what I can recall, he doesn't really have the "clutch gene". I can see where you're going with that statement. He may have some of the worst intangibles of NFL starting QB's. The guy has a rocket arm, but that is overrated, IMO. I like Cutler, he's balsy, but he just doesn't seem like he'll ever get it done. We'll see.

I think you've got it backwards -- Cutler never comes through. Tebow is the one who's up and down, who comes through big one week and shows great winning ability.

Cutler did look almost as bad as Tebow last night.

They've been calling for his head for years in Chicago, especially after the MCL/ACL incident in the playoffs.

More importantly, basically you are saying the media coverage in NY is more brutal than in Chicago which is correct.

I actually feel bad for Cutler.

When he was traded from Denver by McDaniels, he was coming off of a 4,500 yard Pro Bowl year. The Bears sold the farm to land him, put exactly zero protection around him, and he has been decimated in the pocket ever since. Not only has he been the most sacked quarterback the last few years, he takes unbelievably huge hits on almost every passing play.

He used to be this overly confident, almost cocky, force in the pocket, with a fearless cannon for an arm. Now he is completely gun-shy because he knows he is going to get annihilated on every 5 or 7 step drop.

The Bears ruined him. It's particularly painful for Denver fans because we loved Jay, and despised McDaniels for trading him for non other than Kyle fucking Orton, and subsequently Tim Tebow, who were both colossal disappointments.

Every time they cut to a shot of Cutler last night the guy looked either stoned off his ass or about to cry or both.

He got no help from anyone last night, no doubt, but him leading that team looks like it's built to utterly implode if they start getting into a slump.

More importantly, what would they being saying about Sanchez if he threw 4 picks and got sacked like 7 times.

Those drops killed me last night though. I had Jordy Nelson, Aaron Rodger and Brandon Marshall on my fantasy team. The Packers kicker got more points than all of them!!

Cutler has a great arm, but is a profoundly inefficient quarterback.

Any quarterback in the league would be inefficient if 250-300 pound men were laying them out on just about every passing play.

Tebow threw 6 ints in 13 games last year, cutler 4 in one game so how can he have looked "almost " as bad? You clearly meant "looked worse (in this one game)"
