The Jay Cutler era has officially come to a close for the Chicago Bears. After eight seasons the 33-year was grated his release. In his wake was left a legacy great highs and great lows. He’s the quarterback who scored four touchdowns in a playoff game and carried his team to an NFC championship. He is the quarterback who holds the franchise records for passing yards and touchdowns. Yet he’s also the one who threw the second-most interceptions.
Cutler was the epitome of a gunslinger. When he was hot, it was so much fun to watch. When it wasn’t, it was cringe-inducing. Finally in 2016 the Bears finally soured on it all. He hadn’t started a full season healthy since his first year in 2009. He had more interceptions than touchdowns. Everything signaled that it was time for a fresh start.
Nobody in the world thought that it would be Mike Glennon filling those shoes. Already there is a mass panic that the Bears have completely lost their minds. Conspiracy theories are running rampant about what they could be thinking. In truth, the situation isn’t all that complex. One must merely examine the numbers.
