The Bears have followed the usual script under Cutler, he can't beat elite or border line playoff teams, unless they completely implode ala SF. So the question is can the Bears fix anything during the off-season to help improve the odds of making the playoffs in 2015? I understand for most of you this is going to be very hard to accept but the season is over and I don't know what can be improved for 2015 outside of eliminating Cutler. This is a guy who cannot beat good, well coached teams and they know how to attack every one of his weaknesses. This aspect of Cutler will NOT change no one can fix a guy who is as apathetic as Cutler is to losing. My guess is it's finally starting to wear on Marshall as well which could further complicate the situation.
So the question is at what point do the Bears draft Cutler's replacement and ready to bench him for the rookie? There is no way it can get any worse. Missing the playoffs under any circumstances is as bad as it can be. At some point pressure has to be applied on Cutler and the Bears have to begin to develop his replacement. Two years to begin developing that replacement seems logical, and this year's college QB class seems to be the time to make that move. Yes putting $17-million a year on the bench is not going to be easy, but 2015 should be the year the Bears are prepared to make that call. If Emery and Trestman aren't gutsy enough to make both of these calls, neither should remain with the Bears.
