Which QB Fits Best?

[SmootSmack]

I don't quite know who I would choose.

But I do find it kind of interesting we've had weeks of "Mike needs to take the offense back from Kyle." "Mike's offense runs the ball, Kyle's doesn't." Etc

And yet the rationale a lot of people have here for Cutler is his experience in Mike's offense. Do you assume then that if Cutler were here Kyle wouldn't be the OC?

Well, MS just came out with the perverbial.... we are going to get the running game back again. So "if" MS was going to take OC over then I'd imagine we fans would only know by how the offense is either running more or running his style of plays. I doubt we would see any changes in titles and it probably would be for giving KS more experience.

In other words nothing would change just MS would be calling the plays from his mike on the sideline vs. KS calling the plays. None of us would know and most likely only the players would know.

this is a good point... I think the distinction is between the fundamentals of the offense and the actual game day play calling. KS clearly is a pass first OC, but when they do run, it's stretch and zone blocking. In the pass there is an emphasis on getting the ball down the field and moving the pocket. Those are both characteristics of MS' offense. You could probably say they're looking for the same archetype at QB, with KS not placing quite as high of a premium on mobility.

Given that the QBs of choice would be playing behind this OL, the best choice is probably Usain Bolt - - but since he is not on the list, my pick would be Cutler.
