'TD'

Staring at one guy, waiting to see him open, then dumping it off to Forte is not going through progressions to me. That is one single progression. Forte can't be the 2nd option on as many plays that he catches it.

I gambled on a palmer/foyd connection, which luckily made me change lynch to McCoy. I didn't have any massive days from anyone, but everyone did good for me except my D. Paid the 2nd highest price for the Chargers D, they scored one point.

Luckily, I changed up that roster. I won all my 50/50's again this week, lost all my triple ups and other things, cashed out 41.20 and already pulled 30 bucks before, 5 bucks over my inital entry. I won 46 bucks there.

Cutler has been to the Playoffs one time in 5 years. He is 1-9 against the Packers. Been given everything he has asked for. There's not another QB given the chance he has had. Whether it coordinator changes, best buddy QB coaches brought in, spending twice as much on O than D, whatever. They are standing by him. When I said Orton, he really just started growing. He had a better year for the Broncos the year after the trade, Cutler had the most turnovers in the nfl. They branched off since then, considering the opportunities given to them. Kramer lead a good O. It's really hard to judge stats now vs the past, due to all the rule changes they have. Numbers are bloated over all this year, due to the new rules, and the last few years they have added rules that changed things. I do give Cutler more credit for checking down this year more often than forcing it. But I feel it is more of a stare a guy the initial receiver he's not open, time to check down thing.Compared to Cutler working through progressions, and then settling for the check down Forte.

double post, my mouse likes to double click

Opinions of rankings are subjective. I would have him closer to 20 on my rankings due to the 16 i said were better, ones that may be close, and then rookies who have potential to be great. However, you can't have him above Matt Ryan. I would ague Newton too,but Ryan has been consistently better through out his career. 4 of 6 of Ryan's prior years in the leage, he has a better rating that Cutlers best year. The only reason Newton's rating has been lower is because he had 29 TD's rushing so far.

Kramer and Orton, imho, were better. McCown was better than him last year with the same talent surrounding him.

This year, his numbers may say he is top 10. By that argument, McCown would be a top 3 QB in the league his 6 games last year. Brady with this talent would rival Manning in Denver. Brady doesn't have the talent, so he probably isn't in the top 10 in stats. I am just talking over all, top 10 talent at his position. Brady Manning Brees Luck Rodgers Ryan Rivers Wilson Foles Roethlisberger Stafford Flacco (Super Bowl) Eli (Super BowlS) Newton Palmer There, randomly, are 15 QB's that I think are better before getting into debatable ones like RG3, Dalton, Davis, Kap, and Cousins and so on. Edit: I forgot Romo that is better than a few of the guys on that list

I would have loved Kyle as a QB, to see how he progressed in this offense, or as a place holder while an heir apparent was drafted. Now, not so much as he's jumped from team to team, backed up Romo, and just didn't have a chance to develop correctly. Grossman's problems were the same as Cutler's but Grossman had them to a greater extent. I don't hate Cutler, I liked him on the League with the Cutlet and all. I just think he is a lower tiered QB while you consider him to be the best QB for the Bears in your lifetime. Quite simply, I think if you don't have a top 10 QB in the league, you should actively be looking for one. Cutler's contract means the Bears are settling for a highly flawed QB that will prevent the Bears to reach the Super Bowl through his play and the players that could be brought in with his capspace.

I've watched a lot of the Falcons this year, because I have Ryan and Jones in fantasy. Their line is really, really bad. They have a lot of injuries, but they weren't really good before them. That's why it's hard for me to take away much from the game. The D-Line looked like probowl starters because they were playing CFL level players. That funnels back and makes everyone else's job easier.

I think Jennings needs a mention so far this season. He's been invisible, in a good way. His name hasn't been mentioned much, so he must be excellent in coverage this year.

Ballsy time to run it, and good run by Forte.

How did I know, when they said player down, it would be Conte? Reverend Al Sharpton, was just kidding about that

The D is having a surprisingly good first half.

Got a lucky call there

Lol yea, and honestly I think he is better. Kromer has been good at recruiting the Saints starting offensive line for a very reasonable price. Not to mention his coaching the coaching he's done for the players the bears have. Long has grown a lot coming from basically a prototypical size but no experience prospect.

Honestly, with Garza back, I would like to have seen Garza go back to his old spot at RG and Long over to LT this week. It'd probably been the most talented line up they could start, unfortunately, i'm not sure Long has had much, if any time at LT in practice.

At the very least, De La Puente has a funner name to say.

I did a 2/3rds thursday night game line up. This is what I am likely going for on sunday, as long as everyone stays healthy for my 2nd line up. QB Kirk Cousins Was@Ari $6,700 swap out RB Fred Jackson DTD NE@Buf $5,000 swap out RB Marshawn Lynch P Dal@Sea $8,600 swap out WR Brandon Marshall DTD Chi@Atl $6,300 swap out WR Steve Smith Sr. Bal@TB $6,200 swap out WR Roddy White Chi@Atl $4,800 swap out TE Julius Thomas Den@NYJ $6,700 swap out FLEX Jarius Wright Det@Min $3,200 swap out DST Redskins Was@Ari $2,500 swap out Cousins- is due for a good game, Arizona will have their 3rd string QB most likely Jackson- NE has a great pass d, Orton will likely check down to Jackon often and did last week. Lynch- I had money left, he's a top back and Dallas doesnt have a gread run D. Marshall- All signs are pointing to pushing to pushing the ball to him this week Smith- He eats Lovie Smith's defenses for breakfast, his biggest games were always against the Bears. White- I will probably gamble and switch this to Hester, but he is reliable points against a beat up D that has to worry about Jones Wright- Super Cheap and Bridgewater was leaning on him like Cutler does Marshall. Julius Thomas- He's a bronco, Had Gronk here, until i realized i had enough to upgrade to Thomas Redskins- Going against a 3rd stringer * the QB and D change if Palmer can play sunday

His inability to score the second half made the defense try harder, and the over exertion got them hurt? :cheers

At this rate, the Bears are going to have to start 9 DLmen along with Jennings and Fuller.

I would never say that Sanchez is better than anyone. The article I was replying to, it mentioned the failure of teams with 3 QB's starting in a year. My point was that Cutler is already in the lower tier of winning games, so would it be that much of a difference.

One, what does 3 QBs started have to do with anything? Cutler is 59-52 QB as a QB. http://www.footballdb.com/stats/qb-records.html?sort=pct He's just below Mark Sanchez and right above Rex Grossman.
