How do you feel about Cutler now? (current info on pg 46) (1 Viewer)

[flapgreen]

He's got a cannon and time in the pocket to throw this year. A pleasant surprise as a Bears homer. Wouldn't touch him for Fantasy purpose though.

Why not? He's having a very good fantasy season.

If I had to guess, it's the knack of bad Jay Cutler showing up at the worst possible time. At least, he's shown viability even in those bad games and racked up garbage/catchup points.

New coach. New offensive line. More weapons. People who can't let go of the past get burned sometimes. He's top 5-7 right now in most leagues. He's not going to start falling apart.

 

[Raider Nation]

Still terrible.

 

[avoiding injuries]

Heard some fantasy "guru" dude on the radio say his floor was 250- 2td's today. Should have known...

 

[Chicago Hooligan]

That one was not his fault.

However: LOL.

 

[Sinn Fein]

out for the season game series play

 

[flapgreen]

Still terrible.

Where you been the last few weeks GB?

I hope that's the case here but it's Cutler's groin, not hip. Not same

Cutler has a bye next week so that should help.

According to Rotoworld, the Bears are reportedly going to re-sign Jordon Palmer.

Very bad. Down goes the most underrated QB of the year. :(

They would do that regardless, but I'm sure Cutty will be out a while.

 

[flapgreen]

Doesn't sound good from everything I'm reading, though.

 

[12punch]

Glass groin

[JAMES!]

Out at least 4 weeks with torn groin muscle.

 

[pizzatyme]

Sucks for him and for my fantasy team. Draftmasters team loses Bradford and Cutler on the same night. UGH! I'll keep everyone updated on my team.

Someone would've reminded you to anyway. Lol

Really sucks for Brandon Marshall owners as well.

No one is selling Marshall low.

What's Cutler's history with returning from injuries? I don't want to drop the guy because his schedule is like a wet dream come playoff time. My memory seems to recall Cutler toughing out injuries more often than not. Would really appreciate some insight from the Bears homers here. Anyone think there's a chance he could actually be back maybe a week earlier than the timetable suggests?

Hard to say, but I would bet against it. The expectation seems to be that he will miss "a month" and quite possibly longer. If he isn't having surgery it will just depend on how he heals. And if the Bears suddenly find themselves at 5-5 they may not be in a rush to reinsert Cutler. Personally I will have to drop him.

All reports say 4 weeks is just a pr thing. It will likely be longer, not a chance it's earlier. Tore groin. Was in terrible pain afterward. Couldn't walk. I've never seen him even acknowledge much pain. The guy is tough as nails but this is a pretty serious injury. I'm not optimistic. He missed almost half the season a couple years ago with a broken thumb. A couple the year before that with a concussion. The well documented 2nd half of NFL championship with torn mcl. He's no more prone to injury than the next guy. He will be back this season. Who knows when...

 

[Raider Nation]

Still terrible.

Where you been the last few weeks GB?

For anyone reading this the day after, I posted that right after the pick-6.... well before he got hurt. I enjoy the shtick in this thread, but I would never clown a guy for getting hurt. Just wanted to make that clear. Anyway, I'm bummed out. He was crushing it for me in my local start-2-QB league.

BTW, I knew it was the groin when I saw him walking to the locker room as if he were an 85-year-old man. For anyone who has ever had a serious groin injury, you can spot THAT WALK a mile away. :(

Rotoworld:

Speaking Tuesday, Jay Cutler (torn groin) said he's hoping to beat his four-week timetable for a return.
"I'll push it as much as I can," Cutler said. "That's up to the trainers and doctors." Cutler described himself as "day to day," but there's a zero percent chance he starts in Week 9. Week 10 is almost as unlikely. Week 11 would be a best-case scenario, but Week 12 will probably be Cutler's first real shot at returning.

Can McCown just walk into this offense and do well???

 

[flapgreen]

Already did

 

[Chicago Hooligan]

Let me find some posts about how Campbell's signing represented an "elite backup."

I bet I can even locate some good ones about Caleb Hanie.

Different offense.

Same Josh McCown.

I'm rolling with mccown this week! Kap Vick owner.

Of course he wants to return early. He's playing for a new contract.

 

[Eminence]

Picked him up in a league that I'm playoff bound and have Tom Brady as my current QB. Could be nice for me down the stretch.

Nice, but somewhat irrelevant because once Cutler is healthy the job is his. I was actually really surprised how well McCown looked in that Offense. I mean, the receivers were bailing him out quite a bit but they do the same exact thing for Cutler.

I actually did pick McCown up in one league in case he looked good again this week. Don't want to use my Waiver Wire position on him next week, lol.

Pretty sure even if McCown lights it up for 3 Touchdowns / 300 Yards the next couple games that it's still Jay Cutler's gig, yes. Add to the fact all of Cutler's stats previous to this game are more impressive than this one game anomaly.

He was 3 for 8 in a portion of the first half. Mccown is not taking his job unless be throws for 500 yards and 6 scores

People are more dense than they used to be.

It wasn't always necessary to explain that, yes, McCown should not start over Cutler based on 3 seconds of game action.

Carry on.

ok, fair points by some of you guys on the game participation --- I can admit when I'm busted.

cutler+n only had 8 attempts to 20 for the well traveled mccown

I'll extrapolate those 8 out to 20 by multiplying cutler+n's stats by 2.5 to even it up

Anyone have any updates on prognosis/ETA for Cutler's return?
