Middle Buffalo Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 As a bit of a Cutler apologist, I think he's a better QB than he'll ever be credited, but he was still a massive disappointment. I'd much rather see him stick in the broadcast booth than try to capture some glory that likely will never come. I don't believe the body language stuff with him because I think that became an angle, and every time he shrugged or frowned it became a story. However, he did not appear to be a great leader or someone who loved playing the game. He seems to be breaking down some after years of getting pounded as Bears QB. I think the smart move for him is to walk away. He's a smart guy. He has a pretty good sense of humor from what I heard on his show with Waddle and Slivy. Maybe he'll find success in the booth.

Heads22 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 As someone who has absolutely no vested interest (as my team's neckbeard/quarterback apparently had his arm fall off) I'm pumped about the return of the Cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 7, 2017 -> 06:47 AM) Pleasant Trubisky evals recently I figure anything other then really pleasant evals would be a bad sign (given the fluff of training camp). Reality is, it is going to take him time to learn how to read a pro defense, etc. The accuracy seems to be there (which is great) but that is a prerequisite to being a good QB, the stuff that differentiates the greats from the good's / hasbeens has so much to do with between the ears. Hopefully Mitch has that gift. I do like the fact that he's made a lot of "wow" throws. Glennon has supposedly been pretty solid too (which shouldn't be a surprise, he's going to be a solid starter).

bmags Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 There have been many-a highly touted QBs who the league has thought could teach them accuracy, so I'm glad it's showed in pads. I bring it up because his first few days had a lot of nfl media "LOL he has trouble with snaps" contrasted to "Watson is the greatest QB ever", it has since flipped to now people discussing Trubisky on rise and may start sooner than people think, while the texans camp is about savage playing better and likely to be a starter.

LittleHurt05 Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 The NFL Season doesn't begin until the Bears first out for the season injury. Well here we are. Dan Wiederer @danwiederer Following More Bears G Eric Kush out for season w torn hamstring. With Kyle Long still out, this means Cody Whitehair shifting to G. Grasu to C. For now.

Dick Allen Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Pulling a hammy it's hard to sleep. Tearing it off the bone? Oh my, he's going to be painkillered up. Good luck to him on his recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, O'Brien has been quoted as saying Watson is the best rookie QB he has ever been around. The talk of Kizer has been high as well. It is still way too early. They all are crap compared to what they will need to be, but the fact Trubisky has shown laser accuracy is nice. The real work is in actually putting the ball in the right spot. The fumbling stuff was absurd, but it does go back to, it is going to take time for him (and most college QB's) to be ready to play. Taking a snap in the NFL and how you read defenses is just so much different and it isn't something you can really "scout". The ability to project that skill is so difficult. Evaluating whether a player has the physical skills...not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have spent a lot of time the last day covering him. It shouldn't matter. Whether Jay kicks butt or stinks, the reality is his time had come in Chicago. There was zero reason to keep him around this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
