Man, if the Bears had Kyle Orton we woulda at least made the wildcard. Half the season in ‘09 Cutler was making crucial bonehead throws against the Packers on opening week on SNF and against the 49ers on TNF one week. Orton might be a game manager, but that’s what we needed this season our defense was still pretty solid and we had a good ground game.

Watching this era of Bears football is just depressing. The amount of talent we had in this time was insane. We had great defenders at every level. We had a stud RB and TE. We had the GOAT KR in hester, we had an all time great kicker. We had an all time great Center. And then later we added great receivers in Marshall and Jeffery. But somehow none of it amounted to jack.

Stephen A Smith is extremely hard on the guy saying shit like "he should be the poster child for white privilege" etc. Jay Cutler had one of the best arms I've ever seen and had some great moments in the NFL but ultimately fell short of the high expectations everyone had for him. I don't think he's understood very well by the public and he was treated very harshly by the media. Even Brandon Marshall threw the guy under the bus so he could get his TV gig.

From a fans perspective, there is nothing wrong with tanking. It nets you the highest chance of drafting the best players, so there’s nothing to lose in that. From a players perspective though, that shit sucks as hell. You play to win, you don’t go out there and tell your teammates that “we play to be teammates with Trevor Lawrence next year” and its probably demoralizing whenever you hear from the media that your team is a tanking team.
