Rex Grossman To Start For 'Skins

I wish him good luck! Rex took us to a Superbowl, so he always gets a pass in my book. 

Unlike Cutler, who mostly gets interceptions.

I believe Cutler will take us to the promised land, tho. 

As much as I'd like to agree, Jay Cutler couldn't even take Kristin Cavallari to the promised land. I think Rex got the Bears as close as they'll get anytime soon.

So you really believe that Grossman's a better QB than Jay Cutler? I'd blame a lot of the team's troubles since 06 on an aging line that eventually fell apart and a defense that was flailing until it added Julius Peppers. If we could get ANYONE besides Carimi to block with regularity, it'd be a different story.

I believe it would better capture the situation to say that Cutler's a crappier quarterback than Grossman, as we're discussing degrees of bad rather than good. But yeah, the essence of the statement is the same. Cutler has more raw talent than Grossman, but he's certainly no better under pressure. Cutler panics and throws to anybody in a helmet. Grossman's not a deep thinker, but neither is Cutler. Meanwhile, Cutler shuts down early. he has a fragile psyche, and small mistakes compound themselves into bigger mistakes. He checks out of games. He loses interest, and when that happens, talent means nothing.

Apparently you know him better than his mother does.

How do you know how well his mother knows him? On what do you have to base your knowledge of Cutler's maternal relations? Or are you just talking our your ass?

Oh. I thought we were playing a game where we just make statements about things we don't really know. My bad.

That would translate to roughly any statement you could make, which would give you a decided advantage in that game. Lets play a different game, though, and explore what, exactly, we do and do not know.

Consider: My statements concerning Cutler are reasonable suppositions based on observed behavior. Here is what is observed: Cutler does fine whenever there's nothing of any consequence going on. Whenever he's about to get tackled, though, he throws to any available football player, regardless of the color jersey that player may be wearing. Now, with that observation, it is reasonable to assume he panics. If he does not react this way due to panic, then the only other possible reasons are that he's an idiot who does not understand the rules of football or that the other team has paid him off.

Another observed behavior: Once a mistake such as that is made, multiple mistakes tend to follow at a rate that increases geometrically. Again, since the level of Cutler's raw talent did not suddenly drop, it is reasonable to suggest a fragile psyche. Another possibility, I suppose, is that he gets hungry and needs a Snickers bar.

Of course, I will allow the possibility that you suffer from a deficient ability to recognize the obvious or make simple connections. This is, sadly, not uncommon among internet trolls or football players.

that pic is pretty great.
