CrackerDog Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Which is exactly why I question Wesson getting a boner with his exclamation points. Just doesn't fit with me. If we go to any of our backups this year, season is over. For what it's worth, I agree with you on the exclamation points. He overdid it. But damn dude, let it go...

Alaskan Grizzly Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 With that said, they are giving him this season. He is our only option to win. The other guys could steer the boat for a few games, but w/o Cutler we are going nowhere. Just because... bolded could be wrong. History shows it can happen: (From Wikipedia) •Roger Staubach backed up Craig Morton for the first few games of the 1971 season and the Cowboys won Super Bowl VI with Staubach. •Terry Bradshaw was in and out of the starting role his first few years. He lost the job to Joe Gilliam in the 1974 preseason but after re-taking it led the Steelers to victory in Super Bowl IX. •Jim Plunkett started out 1980 backing up Dan Pastorini and went on to win Super Bowl XV with the Raiders. •Doug Williams only started two games in 1987 and lost them both. Joe Gibbs made him the starter for the playoffs over Jay Schroeder anyway and he won Super Bowl XXII. •Jeff Hostetler took over for Phil Simms on the 1990 Giants after an injury and started each playoff game and Super Bowl XXV. •Trent Dilfer backed up Tony Banks to start off 2000, but took over halfway through the season and rode Ray Lewis to victory in Super Bowl XXXV. •Tom Brady was the second-stringer for Drew Bledsoe in early 2001 but after Mo Lewis knocked Bledsoe out for the season Brady came back to win Super Bowl XXXVI I know the law of averages is against it, but 'never say never'. Heck, Hanie came close to doing it in 2010. If the team/management have as much faith in Trestman's ability, AND Cutler doesn't work out then maybe...just maybe...all is not lost if "Cutler is not the answer."

madlithuanian Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Exceptions make the rules... And the last time it happened legitmately in recent history was Brady. Over a dozen years ago. The times have changed... I still beleive all is lost this particular season if Cutler is out. However, next year would be a different story. I just don't think any of the guys backing up have any pedigree worth much. I'd almost think Jamarcus Russell would be a greater chance for something odd to happen... I would be the first that would love a story of the underdog Josh McC to lead us to multiple SB's...but I don't think it's remotely probable. Whereas under Cutler, I this the possible becomes more probable. I thik we basically agree... My cup is more full with Cutty, yours appears more full w/o... Just because... bolded could be wrong.

Can't help myself sometimes. I'm honestly trying, but it's hard when the responses are unacceptable. Back at ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears4Ever_34 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Sounds like the plan is going to be to keep one of Palmer or Edwards as the 3rd QB while signing Blanchard to the practice squad again. Be interesting to see if they do keep 3 quarterbacks. I thought it was stupid last year only carrying 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
