Freeman would be Cutler's successor? When, 2019?
Guys, Cutler and Trestman like each other a lot. Trestman went to Cutler's wedding. Cutler has never talked this glowingly about a coach.
And face it, who else will be on the market this offseason? Do you want to draft a guy in the 20's and hope he can keep the team competitive in 2014 and on? Cutler's a very good QB and everyone is just realizing that now, unfortunately. He's never had this much around him since he made the Pro Bowl in Denver.
They're going to continue to evolve as an offense, and unless Cutler seriously injures himself/dies/throws 20 INT's the rest of the year, he'll be back for at least the next 3 years.
So no, bringing in a bad player and an even worse teammate to this organization is a bad idea. If they want to draft a QB in the 3rd or 4th round, perfect! Maybe they'll strike gold and draft a guy like Ryan Mallett, Matt Flynn, or Kirk Cousins, someone who can impress in limited action and be a guy who can net them a 1st or 2nd round pick some day,
