bro you're obsessed with Andrew Luck.

Just deal with it -- he's here to stay and will be damn good for many many years

I just want to know why you're so jelly?

Wish Luck were a little different in some way?

no not at all, his career stats up to this point show me that he really is just a top 15 qb at this point, nothing more, nothing less

Bears could let Cutler walk?

And while it generally has been presumed that Cutler, whose contract expires after the 2013 season, will remain Chicago's quarterback in 2014 and beyond -- whether via the franchise tag or a lucrative, long-term contract -- there is a very real possibility that the Bears' powers that be (Trestman and general manager Phil Emery) will elect to set him free.

Yes, Cutler has a great arm and has done his best to adapt to Trestman's system -- his coach told me early in the season that the quarterback had "bought in completely," a statement corroborated by others close to the situation.

That said, some of the old, bad habits that dogged Cutler in past regimes, such as waiting too long to throw the ball and holding it too low as he stands in the pocket, have resurfaced at inopportune times. He had four turnovers in the Bears' first defeat of the season, a 40-32 setback to the Detroit Lions three weeks ago. In seven games, he's totaled seven interceptions and four fumbles.

Trestman, who was the Oakland Raiders' offensive coordinator during Rich Gannon's MVP season in 2002 and won a pair of Grey Cups in the Canadian Football League with Anthony Calvillo running the Montreal Alouettes' attack, might not place as much of a premium on arm strength as some of his peers.

"Think about it -- he had his greatest success with Rich Gannon, who was smart and moved well but wasn't anybody's idea of a big thrower," said one source familiar with the Bears' situation. "If you're him, do you want to spend $20 million a year on Cutler, who might not be the best fit, or do you want to find someone you can mold who's efficient? And if you think about how deep this (next) draft class might be, he can identify his guy and get him relatively cheap for the next few years."

I'm not saying this will happen, but the reasoning is sound. If Trestman can finesse a playoff berth despite Cutler's absence, it's tough to imagine the franchise extending a contract offer to the quarterback in the Matt Ryan/Joe Flacco/Tony Romo price range, or even close to it.

Too many QBs are paid too much money simply for not sucking or simply being above average. Perhaps the Bears don't want to be the next Texans.

I don't think they would let him walk this offseason. They probably franchise tag him, draft a QB in this years draft and let him go the following year.

But I agree. QBs are being overpaid. Everyone is getting Peyton Manning / Tom Brady money.

IMO, they will severe ties with Cutler after the season. He's not the guy for them and it's better to move on quickly. Cutler may not accept the franchise tag very well and he can be a moody pain in the neck.

Is it ridiculous to get a QB of the future
while maintaining the current QB?

Not ridiculous since SF did it, but them coming out and being as good as they were in 2011 was unexpected. With Tressman having a rep as a qb whisperer it's possible it happens. What can't be predicted is how Marshall reacts to letting Cutler go.

Eh, it's one writers opinion and I really don't agree with it. Everyone assumes that Cutler would be moody if he had the franchise tag put on him next year but I think it'd be the best move for the Bears in lieu of another viable option which I don't see out there in FA, they won't get any sort of worthwhile draft pick this year.

or the Ravens by giving that kind of contract to Flacco.
