As GTripp and others have delineated in convincing fashion (IMO) Cutler is not a drastic improvement over JC. He plays in a division of weak defenses and has a great offensive unit all around him...recent 1st rd talent OL and very good WR, TE and even top running game. JC has a good TE and a good running game for about half a season...big difference otherwise. So Cutler's relative success statswise ain't too mysterious. Why then did the FO seemingly fall headoverheels over this guy who'd cost the franchise an arm and a leg in picks, money, etc? It's actually harder to see a plan at this point.

Good post.. Although I believe Snyder was the one who tried to push the trade, it does not mean FO wanted same thing. Snyder is only one who can change plans anytime, and that may be bad thing.. We have been saved by other teams last two off seasons.. Let's hope that this is last one.
