Meet the bench, starring Jay Cutler

I am astonished no one has started a topic about this. This is quite huge here. Cutler signed a $126 million contract recently and now he is benched! This is just not something that happens. What I thought when I heard it is what others are saying too. He's benched to prevent him from getting injured so they can trade him.

The Bears are just pitiful.

I can't think of any team that would trade for him, especially with that contract.

I don't dispute that the Bears are pitiful, but I really don't envy them or any team that has to deal with this.

There are few exceptions of teams that can get by w/o an elite QB in this league and it's incredibly hard to find one. Cutler really should be, but the grey matter between the ears is ruining it for him. We're incredibly lucky with the 20+ year streak of QB play we've had and that's arguably the reason we haven't been the Lions and 'Queenies over these years.

He's making about 22 mil this year and I believe 15 mil even if he's not on the roster next year? What a life!

Sucks being the Bears, which makes my day.

2015 he would count 16.5 million against the Bears Cap. If he is traded or cut. That would increase to 19.5 unless they use the June 1st Designation which would still only save them 2 million of that for 2015.

If only we could trade them Flynn for the remainder of the season for a draft pick.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Cutler is actually having one of his best years. This is indicative that the issue is more than just Jay. Benching him, releasing him or trading him (which they really can't do until AFTER next season) doesn't solve the problems with the team.

The thing with Cutler is whether or not he is coachable, and nothing in his resume would suggest he his.

How desperate could a team possibly be to trade for a head case like him with a contract like that?

This is the WORST news for the packers to date this year and next!

What do our DBs say? - they love catching the ball when cutler is at the helm.

Can't help but wonder if Cutler ends up on the injury report, with splinters in his butt.[grin1]

Zero2Cool (17h) : Woo-hoo

TheKanataThrilla (17h) : NFL Network is broadcasting the game tonight, but not in Canada. Not sure why as no local television is showing the game.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Sure does feel like site is more snappy

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : I thought that was the Lions OL

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round
