I just lost some respect for Jaws

[DABEARSDABOMB]

I looked at EVERY INT on NFL.com, and I can unequivocally say that Jaws is talking out of his ass. Even if I am harsh, there is no way more than about 16-18 are on Cutler...which is admittedly not good. But to say 22 out of 26 are on Cutler is f'ng stupid. I defy ANYONE to look at all the highlights, read the play by plays, and rewatch games, and then try to come up with that bogus ass number Jaws orally excreted on national television.

 

I am even willing to debate on an INT by INT basis. Jaws was just reading stat lines and box scores. No way in hell he watched all the game film and came up with those numbers. If he did, I guarantee he fell asleep somewhere in the middle and woke up during the Baltimore game.

But given our offensive problems, 20+ TD's and under 20 picks wouldn't be all that bad from our QB, imo.

What I think happened is, Jaws was also putting in his opinion of sipmly when Cutler should not have thrown the ball in that direction. What I mean is, if a WR is "relatively" covered, Cutler throws to him, WRs slips and CB picks it off, I think most here would say that pick is not on Cutler, but Jaws may look at a play like that and say Cutler should have never thrown it in that direction in the first place.

 

I am not saying Jaws would be right. I also think, if this is the case, Jaws is putting a great deal of his own opinion and conjecture in there when he made it sound more like fact when he mentioned the 21 or 22 of 26 being all Cutler.

 

That's the best reasoning I can come up with. There were some plays I can recall where the result was a pick, though do to something like the ball bounced off the WRs hands into the CBs, but also recall on some of those same plays announcers saying it was a bad decision in the first place because the WR was covered or this or that.

 

Again, not saying this would justify Jaws statement, but if this is the case, it may better explain how he came up w/ such a stat.

 

Honestly though, at the end of the day, is there really a point in this? Every QB in the NFL has ints that should really not have gone against him. Every one. Then again, every QB in the NFL has plenty of passes that could have/should have been picked off, and yet those do not hit the stat sheet. The only reason we are having to take the time to go through each and ever pick is because there are simply so damn many.

What is the point? To call out lazy ass announcers who seemingly make comments without homework that support the uninformed opinions of Bears haters, Cutler haters, and stupid people in general. Does it get me anything? Obviously not. But I like calling out ignorance whenever I encounter it.

 

Look, not every pick Grossman had was 100% on him. He too had plenty of issues at WR, OL, RB and playcalling. But even when looking at body of work as a whole, what I felt was a major lack in decision making. We can go through each and every pick, but at the end of the day, Cutler has shown some awful decision making so far. Even in a game like the last, when most everything seemed to be clicking, he had that one pick that was just flat out ugly. I mean, when we look at it, you just scratch your head and ask what was he thinking. Cutler is FAR from our main problem, but when we are looking at new staff to run this team, we also I think have to factor a coach who can help Cutler. Not just with elevating his ceiling, but his floor needs to be elevated too.

Agreed, but I'd say a higher percentage were Grossman's fault than have been Cutler's fault. Not only that, but Rex had A LOT more to work with than Cutler has overall.

 

Either way, this is for Cutler haters in general. Look at all the INTs or STFU. Jaws was plain wrong, and video proof, PROOF, is on NFL.com.
