Pretty amazing that you have the facts there, Bill. The offense
was horrid under Cutler this season, to the point they had to
bench the guy! No one here knows how McCown would have done. But
the facts...again....are he outplayed Cutler last season. You
cannot hide it or color it any other way.....

That McCown outplayed Cutler last season is your opinion.
Calling it a fact doesn't make it so. Trestman clearly lost
control of the team and the defense totally sucked. Somehow that
would have been different with McCown? Highly unlikely.

Here is a pretty good comparison of the two QB's in 2013'. To
say he would have been much worse is ridiculous, honestly....

It is interesting in that is one the rare articles that actually
takes into account the quality of the defenses they faced. I
think he got it right when he said that McCown had better stats
but benefited from playing weaker teams. We may never know what
would have happened if McCown had stayed. What we do know is
that Cutler played poorly last year in Chicago and McCown was
equally bad in Tampa.

I am just glad we have hope of a future next year and the mob
mentality didn't get their way. For if they did there would be
no hope for the offense next year.
And again. Look up the stats. The Bears offense played poorly
and didn't produce last year. Despite the fact that Cutler was
ranked in the top 10 of most every major QB category.
And no I am not going to go back through all these posts and dig
up the stats that where already fleshed out and posted as proof
at the time.

Fuck it.
It appears at this point in time that HALAS HALL may have
learned something.
I suppose I could rank on the TEAM for past miscreations ...
that's not going to help anybody now.
Whats for TOMORROW ? That's all that counts.
Is the coaching staff in place ?

Well, the bad thing is for this draft what to do with the QB
position? With Cutler playing so poorly does the team give him
another chance or do they go for Winston if he's sitting there
at 7?? Take into account the most important player on that field
is under center, so this quickly becomes a very tough situation.
What makes it so difficult is the reality that the D is in
shambles and needs all the talent it can get. Maybe they can
pull a rabbit out and grab a decent QB at a lower pick.
Hopefully we've got a pretty capable staff that can now do that.
It will be a monumental task for this staff to put together a
good team for this season, having good luck in the draft and
getting a few key FA's to turn this thing around.

I don't think there is any way Winston is there at 7, unless he
runs over a line of babies in carriages before the draft. If
you read Mayocks review of Winston he says he has the
anticipation and makes the throws just where they need to be,
but he also is a little reckless and will throw a bunch of
picks, and compares him to Cutler at Vandy in that way. I am
not sure I see the anticipation from Jay though.

Tim Jennings undergoes arthroscopic knee surgery
February, 13, 2015
By Michael C. Wright | ESPN.com
Chicago Bears cornerback Tim Jennings posted a status and
picture on Twitter of himself sitting in a wheelchair on Friday
alluding to him undergoing some type of surgical procedure,
before later deleting the status and picture.
But according to a source, Jennings underwent arthroscopic knee
surgery. The source, who declined to say which knee Jennings had
scoped, called the procedure a “simple clean out."
Jennings isn’t expected to miss time in the club’s offseason
conditioning program as most arthroscopic knee surgeries require
just a two- to three-week recovery period.
Jennings is coming off a subpar 2014 campaign in which he
contributed 66 tackles in 16 starts with eight pass breakups and
one forced fumble. The recent arthroscopic surgery indicates
Jennings played through some knee pain throughout the season.
The team signed Jennings to a four-year, $22.4 million extension
last January, when former general manager Phil Emery said the
deal was "rewarding excellence" for a veteran who took on the
responsibilities in 2013 as a No. 1 cornerback after Charles
Tillman suffered a season-ending injury.
Jennings' deal was worth $11.8 million guaranteed and included a
$3 million signing bonus.
Jennings earned trips to the Pro Bowl in 2012 and 2013, and
picked off 13 passes since the start of the 2012 season, which
ranks No. 2 in the NFL behind Seattle's Richard Sherman.
Jennings is also tied for fourth in the NFL since the start of
2012 in interception returns for touchdown (three).
At the end of this past season, Jennings placed the blame on the
players and not the coaches for the Bears' 5-11 record, and said
he hoped the next head coach would help the defense to regain
its identity.
A nine-year veteran, Jennings has started in 95 of 131 games
played with the Indianapolis Colts (2006-09) and Bears.

As a veteran you would think he would be smart enough not to
post a picture of him in a wheelchair and publicizing a surgery.
Bet his agent told him to delete that picture.
