I don't think the problem entirely lies with the QB. It seems that over the last couple of years we have had a difficult time in reading the blitzes. I agree with others on here that much of the problem is in the coaching, and primarily with OC and QB coaching, and that is the same person (Messingham). We need someone who is actually a qb coach, not someone that was coaching TE, then WR's. Another thing I noticed on Saturday is that the offense used to look to the sideline before snapping to allow for play change, but I did not see that Saturday. The one benefit of looking to the sideline is to get the coaches in the booth input on the defensive formation and we may be able to pick up the blitz sooner.

Speaking of breaking the cycle, I believe this is the first of your posts since September that wasn't "something something coaches suck something." If you.could do it, I have to believe this team can too.
You can call Cutler a lot of things, but calling him a p*$$y is not one of them
Which makes it hard to recruit new good qbs because they dont think they will get to see the field for a while. cycle repeats. We are playing qbs for a year and a half. Why not get there best years not burn them up and ruin their confidence before they are really ready.
OK, since apparently only NicktheGreat got my joke and everyone has a short memory, and I've clearly hit a nerve with bears fans...2011...there were a lot of people calling Cutler soft. Game against the Packers. I personally have no opinion on Cutler myself, haven't watched him enough, but that was the book on him for a while there.

Summary: called out by fellow players, then almost cries about it. Again, I personally don't have an opinion, I'm a CFB guy (although clearly a sprained MCL has sidelined several of our players who didn't 'play thru it'). The joke was in reference to that.
