Somebody please try to convince me that the FO has a plan.

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.

I don't think they were planning on looking at another QB but when Culter became available it changed everything. The writing was already on the wall when you consider they haven't tried to extend Campbell already. It's put up or shutup time. Alot of people out there do see Cutler as a big improvement over Campbell, not just our front office.
