I would've considered Cutler for Romo as well.
At a time, from a decison making perspective, Romo looked eerily similar to Cutler. And they both would have those big games and then those really, really bad games.
To Cutler's credit, the Bears O-Line might be the worst in the NFL right now. He's practically having to scramble on about 80% of his passes. Their WR corp is so-so. Hester and Bennett aren't bad. Knox has some talent. But they are all raw. Olsen is very good.
Plus, their defense has stunk this season.
The eery similarity is that Cutler has that somewhat disinterested look when it comes to protecting the ball. The thinking that 'well, I make big plays so turnovers come with the territory.'
I think outside of the G-Men game, Romo has focused very hard on protecting the ball and hasn't had that careless, wreckless attitude.
I hate to bring it up because believe me, I'm sick of hearing it as well. But until Romo gets it done from December and beyond, non-Cowboys fans and critics will always point to wanting to see that first before they believe in Romo.
The big thing Cutler has on Romo right now is age. Being young he is still developing and if the Bears got him some decent personnel, things can happen. But last night what I saw out of Cutler was everything that destroyed my confidence in Romo. Fortunately, Romo has turned that around a good deal.
YAKUZA
