CHICAGO BEARS madden 2010

[shift9k]

Im just gonna say this. How many of you expected Eddie Royal to be that good? I still cant believe that all of you think that WR's are more important then the QB! Im just at a loss here. So i'm gonna stop. Parting words for Broncos fans, I know you're all a little bitter. I mean its obvious. Dont be, KO will be fine, and eventually ur team will benefit. Its just too bad you'll have to wait a couple years. Even then nothing is 100%. Good luck in the season.


Yes the pant stripes are too thin.

Both QBs were on teams with great WRs, little help from the RB and horrible defenses. Except Cutler had arguably the best pass-blocking O-line in the entire league last year and Rodgers had a really, really, really bad O-line. Rodgers threw 3 more Touchdowns, 5 less Interceptions and then also ran for 4 TDs himself. He had a greater yards per throw average. Rodgers had a better completion percentage. Rodgers had a 93.8 QB rating, compared to Cutler's 86. Plus it should be noted that Rodgers played a big portion of the year with a damaged shoulder from Week 4. And the TEAM was 0-7 in games of four points or less. Rodgers gave the team the lead late in the 4th quarter more than enough times only to see the defense give the lead right back. And the Packers would have swept the entire division if Mason Crosby hits one FG and doesn't have the other blocked. But fans who don't actually watch the games tend to place blame on Rodgers for all the losses, which couldn't be farther from the truth.

Yea I will give you the Chicago game but lets put it in perspective of the 4th quarter stats. http://sports.excite.com/nfl/stats.html that is the link where I got the information.

Cutler- 94.2 Rating, 4 Int, 11 TDs, 59 comp%
Rodgers- 87.8 Rating, 5 Int, 8 TDs, 60 comp%

here some misc stats to further compare.
Cutler- 200 yards rushing, 2 TDs, 5 fumbles (2 lost) and only 11 sacks
Rodgers- 207 yards rushing, 4 TDs, 9 fumbles (3 lost) and 34 sacks.

So as you can see Cutler is a slightly better quarterback than Rodgers is in the 4th quarter and that is where it counts. Now don't get the wrong idea here because I believe they are pretty equal and if I was GB I wouldn't trade Rodgers for Cutler just like I wouldn't trade Cutler for Rodgers if I was Chicago. Now you can blame the sack difference on the line but you can also give credit to Cutler for his ability to keep the play alive.

Also if you are going to blame it on a bad shoulder then Cutler's excuse was he had to play with like 5 different starting running backs and their top back was Hillis, who ran for less than 400 yards. Rodgers had the luxury of a consistent running back, who rushed for over 1200 yards. So I would have to say that Green Bay had the better running back situation compared to Denvers last season.

To stay on topic yea I think the strip should be wider

I have no bitterness at all. I will actually be rooting for him to succeed because I really liked him.

The situation just plain sucked!

I wont be rooting for Cutler. Its not that im bitter, i understand its all a business. its just i lost respect for him because of the way he handled it.

Cutler will struggle a little this year because he doesn't have a consistent threat. He had Marshall in Denver, and when he was locked down he had royal or Scheffler or Stokley. Cutler has Olsen who is a great TE, but hester? Like someone said before, he is not great with change and well i am far from sold on him being even a sup-par WR. I would just keep him as a kick/punt returner...even a true Bronco fan will admit he is one, if not the best in the league.

P.S. Like everyone else, the stripes are too thin
