Watch Stephen A. Smith Destroy ‘Absolute Joke’ Jay Cutler In Epic Rant

“I don’t care. We got to figure out how to get the W”. Cutler has played the full 16 games just once in Chicago, his first season in 2009. Reps with the first-team offense are likely to be at least split between Cutler and Hoyer this week as there is no specific timetable for Cutler’s return from his thumb injury.

Despite being hit by a rash of injuries while falling to 0-2, Fox is confident that the Bears will weather the storm. Cutler could feel fine this weekend and start against the Cowboys, or he could need a few weeks for the thumb to heal. The Bears will not put him on injured reserve to free up a roster spot in his absence.

“He is a football abomination”, Smith said. “You’re going to have not confrontations, but conversations”. It could be a strength thing.

“We all take responsibility”, he said. Wentz made the future of the Eagles look good in a poised but not flawless performance where he completed 21-of-34 passes for 190 yards and a touchdown. Performances like Matthews’ first two games of this season do little to encourage that notion.

“It’s hard for me to give timelines”, Fox said. “They all love me and they motivate me and I’d do anything for them”. That play just aggravated it.

“I’m listening in my helmet [when I’m not in there], so I’m getting a feel and a rhythm of the game that he’s trying to call and obviously having gone through it mentally during the week, I have a pretty good feel for what his goal is for each play and that kind of thing”, Hoyer said. “But making those plays, that’s what pushes you into an elite category, that’s where people understand, this guy is a great receiver. And the dialogue on the sideline with players and coaches with him is something a nine- or 10-year vet would do, and it’s just showing his maturity and the ability that he has to play quarterback”. “But at the same time, much rather learn it from a win than it costs us a game and we lose”. The Bears have neglected the quarterback pipeline for too many years, picking three backup defensive players (linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski, defensive backs Deon Bush and Deiondre’ Hall) in the fourth round this draft while Dak Prescott was still on the board.

Cutler made 12 of 17 passes for 157 yards but was sacked three times by a rampant Eagles defense.

While Wentz is an early darling of the National Football League season, it’s tough to say if the Browns’ trade was a bad decision on the whole. “You know, you’re never going to say anything negative because you know we’re all our own worst critics”. “We’ll evaluate tomorrow. We’ve got practice tomorrow, we’re on a short week already”.

In addition to this laundry list of casualties, let’s not forget that right guard Kyle Long is playing with a torn labrum in his left shoulder.
