[QUOTE="ChiTownJH, post: 1203080, member: 58343"] I'm not gonna lie, I wanted Cutler gone after that last season with Trestman (and this was after defending him for six years), I was fine with Cutler last year, because John Fox and Adam Gase controlled him. Some of my friends out here on the West Coast, have always asked me, can the Bears win with Cutler? My response was, yes but these three things must happen: 1) The Bears need a top 5 or 10 run offense, which will keep the ball out of Cutler's hands. 2) The Bears need a top 5 or 10 defense, so when Cutler throws an interception and we know he will, the Bears defense can stop the opposing team. FYI: Cutler's INTs did come down last year under Fox/Gase. 3) I got this one from Gase. All audibles must come from the sidelines. When Cutler did audibles from that last year from Trestman, it was a huge disaster. Cutler is a serviceable QB. So as long as the Bears control him and continue to grow hopefully a lights out defense, I feel the Bears can be competitive. You mentioned the Bears offered Forte a contract. Was that during the season? Because I read articles from NFL.com and ESPN a day or two ago, that Forte said they did not offer him a contract during free agency. [/QUOTE]
