While you were watching football on the couch with friends, or perhaps traveling back from Thanksgiving vacation, Yahoo!‘s Michael Silver was busy being Brian Urlacher’s guest for a day of NFL viewing. This included watching the Bears-Vikings game. And many others from around the league. The entire column is worth a read to get the whole “injured player who can’t do anything to help his awful team” perspective, but this quote about Jay Cutler and the Bears offense really stands out:
Brian Urlacher Not A Big Fan Of Bears’ Jay Cutler-Led Offense
↵↵“Look, I love Jay, and I understand he’s a great player who can take us a long way, and I still have faith in him,†Urlacher said. “But I hate the way our identity has changed. We used to establish the run and wear teams down and try not to make mistakes, and we’d rely on our defense to keep us in the game and make big plays to put us in position to win. Kyle Orton might not be the flashiest quarterback, but the guy is a winner, and that formula worked for us. I hate to say it, but that’s the truth.â€
↵↵More importantly, Orton doesn’t throw many interceptions. He threw 12 all of last season and the Bears finished above .500. Cutler has already thrown 20 this year, and the Bears are on pace for a 6-win season.
