Stop what you're doing for a minute, close your eyes, and ponder this question: Where would the Bears be without Jay Cutler this year? Pretty scary thought, ain't it?
For the first time in decades, the Bears finally have a strong-armed quarterback and things couldn't be better. Move over Erik Kramer, Cutler is on pace to shatter all your Bears passing records this year. With a stat line like this through 8 games--2000 yards, 14 TDs and completing 63% of his passes-- all is well in Chicago, finally.
How many wins would the Bears have without Cutler this year? 3, maybe 4 tops? They'd probably be an inconsistent .500 team struggling through each week.
With Cutler, they are poised to make that playoff run that everyone thought was possible in the off-season. With Cutler, the bad offensive line, horrible coaching, lack of run game and inept defense is an afterthought. With Cutler, the Bears can finally throw the ball deep and rack up any amount of points their defense might give up. With Cutler, nothing else matters.
Anyone else starting to think that the Bears addition of Cutler is kind of like a guy buying an $80,000 luxury car even though he can't afford the payments, lives in a shitty apartment, has a shitty job, has to park it outside on the street where hoodlums can vandalize it and doesn't even know how to drive it since it's a stick-shift? But fuck it, look how awesome it looks shining in the sun after you've washed and waxed it!
