Chicago Bears fans have never been wild about change, even when something isn’t that good anymore. It was true of Brian Urlacher. It was true of Devin Hester. Now it’s true of Jay Cutler as well. Coming off an injury-filled season where he threw more interceptions than touchdowns, the 33-year old quarterback stares down the barrel of a failed eight-year run with the franchise. A run that began with so much promise.
Some don’t want to see him go, still holding out hope he can win them games if only given enough help. Meanwhile others are clamoring for somebody new. A young gun who can trot that old horse to the stable. The popular name of late is Jimmy Garoppolo, a 25-year old native of Illinois who has spent three years learning from Tom Brady.
Experts are split on him, but a majority tend to think he’d make quite the solid addition to the Bears roster. The better question is would he be an upgrade over Cutler? Somebody decided to take on that very challenge, and came away with interesting results.
