So you would rather have David Fales who was just brought up from the practice squad to backup Cutler as your starting QB?

Bears D is starting to wake up.

They released McCown so they obviously didn't see him as the answer. McCown stunk in Tampa but has played better in Cleveland. Not saying I agree with the contract Cutler got but the Bears don't have a better option at QB than him.

Manziel looks decent today. Hope we give him a try

Anyone else hate having to cheer for teams that aren't the Cowboys just to stand a chance?

I didn't say they should have kept McCown, I said they had a better option and still started Cutler once he was healthy. This is a league where you play the hot hand, McCown was playing out of his damn mind. I have no problem with Bears giving him a few years after they got him in 09, he helped them to the playoffs in 2010, but he did very little after that but throw a high number of INTs and end up with injuries.
The problem is, they never even attempted to do better with Cutler. Their loyalty to him is questionable at best.

If McCown was a better option they wouldn't have released him and resigned Cutler. McCown was a bust in Tampa lasting only one season. It's hard to find solid starting QBs teams don't make them available especially a QB that has an arm like Cutler.

I will say this... if no one offers Cousins a starting job next year (he hasn't been winning at Washington and I don't see him being in that big of demand) we should look at him to be our backup.

Kirk Cousins > Bob Griffin 3

He does that occasionally on and off the field.

He will be resigned with the Commanders. Guaranteed. I'd say 4 year 50 million w 10 mil signing bonus.
With 4 games to play he has completed 69% of his passes, thrown 3006 yards, 17 Tds 10 ints and QBR 93. That will get him a contract in this league.

I think plenty of teams would jump on Cousins if he were made available he's shown potential and is still developing. Looking at Washington's QB situation I don't see them releasing him. RG3 will be on the street before Cousins.

Would have made for interesting chatter around the league had he had to head to the locker room after that and go through a concussion protocol.

Cutler has no sense of the rush
