Cutler Benched, Clausen to Start

Recommended Posts

Does this make lions D better or worse start

I have the Packers (vs TB) and Detroit's defenses. This makes the decision tougher, but I still think I am rolling with the Pack.

Well, Schefter is reporting that Clausen is going to be the guy vs. DET on Sunday. That cannot possibly be a good sign for Trestman, who said as recently as days ago that Cutler was going to be the starter the rest of the year unless hurt.

 

So is DET going to play 9 in the box against Forte? This news may be compelling enough to actually bench Forte, and DEFINITELY start DET D/ST this weekend.

Forte has been shafted by bad QB play for weeks. If anything maybe jimmy gives more dump offs than Cutlers close your eyes and chuck it 40 yds

Protecting him from injury for potential trade or cut. I've wanted him injured for 6 years. He's been injured every year but this and finally a whole season to prove what broncos fans knew.

In 16 team league and now I get to chose from rg3, clausen, Carr, case - great! As a bears fan - about time. Cutler throws deep too many times when the underneath first downs were open. Especially on third and short. Drive killer

Would have been nice had they benched him last week before he got all these garbage time points against me. I'm sure others feel the same.

It pains me to consider benching forte but I think I must. Jeremy hill vs a depleted Denver defense seems like the strong play

 

Why bench forte?

Bad qb with limited experience

Stacked boxes to stop run

Forte past poor showing on thanksgiving

Detroit has a great defense

I am in the final this week and Cutler is my guy. Carson Palmer is my back-up. We are not allowed any transactions during the playoffs. :wall:

 

$800 for 1st place, $400 for 2nd. Should I send Trestman and Cutler an invoice for my lost winnings? Can't believe I am going into a championship game without a quarterback.

So your backup QB went on IR a month ago & you didn't pick up a viable backup knowing your league rules doesn't allow any transactions in the playoffs?

 

This is on you dude.

Wow I would not put that kind of $$$ into a league with rules like that.

That said, I'm rolling into the championship with Forte and Alshon, no real alternatives. Plus I probably have to play Flash Gordon with Johnny Wad flinging the ball around. :cry:

What's the big deal? It's kind of stupid, but I'd still now to have a viable backup knowing Cutler has stunk it up all season and there was talk about this.

 

And ugh, I have Bennett, but unexperienced QB's usually like throwing those short routes to the TE. Good thing my opponent has Alshon!!!

Interesting tidbit......with a win on Sunday Jimmy Clausen would tie Mark Vlasic for most career victories (2) by an NFL quarterback named for a brand of pickle.

I am just unlucky is all...

 

Our league allows only 10 moves total all season to keep the integrity of the league and the importance of the draft in place. I have played in leagues where guys had close to 100 moves and streamed every week. I had cutler and Palmer rolling for about a month and during that time I used my moves on a bye week defense fill in and bobby Rainey among others. In fact I went without a kicker one week because I couldn't make a move. It sucks but that's the breaks. I made my own bed. A $400 bed.

 

I need Arizona to dominate. My opponent has Wilson and lynch. Keep them under 20 and I might have a shot.

I think this makes me starting J. Hill over Forte much easier now.

This is where I'm at. :thumbsup:

Thanks, guys.....but it is not original. I read it somewhere, and knew immediately that it was too classic not to pass along on the bored.

Tressman is just trying to save his own behind. It will not help. Bears need to get rid of Cutler, Emery and Tressman ASAP. The 3 of them have absolutely destroyed this proud franchise.

I can see the trepidation, but there are ways around this any of which can be thought of by a commish with half a clue. Allow a certain number of free moves per year, then charge a buck a piece thereafter. That also sweetens the pot.

 

Or you can institute a bylaw which allows a conditional move in event a player is placed on IR by his team. Short term/longterm I suppose can be debated.

 

If you're playing for money, business is business.

Matters not. It's the thought that counts.

 

Of course, by praising it, you do realize that I've stolen it for use elsewhere.

 

The gift that keeps on giving.
