McCown through the four and a half games he played while in place for the injured Cutler was just on fire, 1,809 passing yards, 13 touchdowns , and only one interception. You can understand why when the Bears named Jay Cutler the starter for this past Sunday's game vs the Browns there was a general outcry of anger from Bear's fans.
Cutler on Sunday started the game rusty, as expected. He threw two interceptions that had me fighting to not throw something at my television. Like most Bears fan's at that moment I screamed "Put McCown in!". But Cutler, after getting his timing back had a much better second half and ended up with 3 touchdowns and 265 passing yards. His QBR was 84.7.
Cutler or McCown? As long as there in Marc Trestman's offense, who cares? Cutler is having his best year statically posting the 8th best QBR in the league. The one thing Cutler is know for however is his turnovers. He had two vs the browns but the NFL is a league about results and the Bears won, Marc Trestman didn't look like a idiot, and now they control there own destiny thanks to the heroics of Ravens Kicker Justin Tucker.
Justin Tucker hit the game winning 61 yard field goal to defeat the lions on Monday night and give the Bears sole possession of first place. If the Bears win out with victories over the Eagles and Packers, there in the playoffs.
Jay Cutler, who i'm sure will be seeking a long term deal with the Bears at season's end must earn it.
You want that contract Jay? Lead the Bears to the playoffs.
