First off, when did I say you bashed Rodgers? And most important, WHEN DID I BASH CUTLER? I've only said that he handled things poorly in Denver, and that his statements as a Bear were very unfortunate, which is all true, and portraited the same attitude that Favre had adquired (or had all along and hid pretty well, at least from me), and that's interesting that he didn't have that personality in Denver, and that's also a coincidence that he has the same agent that Favre has. I've also said he was right at wanting to be traded, but that you omit...
Talking about omiting, you say I omit the stats that don't favor me. What made you think that? When did I ever brought up stats in the first place? I know he threw for more yards, more yards per game and less sacks. I know he has a better winning record than Rodgers. Everybody knows, that's not a secret. But talking about stats, it's also not a secret that he was in his 3rd season with the team, having played for 2 seasons and a half as a starter. Always having the same line. Always having most of the same receivers (only Royal wasn't with them in 07). And even then, he never had a better Qb rating than Arod. He also has a losing record (better losing record? give me a break). And in his first season, he played worse than Rodgers. In his second season, with a way better OL, he played close to Rodgers. Let's remember: Rodgers had NEVER started an NFL game.
You say I must be scared. Yet you're the one trying to contradict my comments. I didn't have that intention, but somehow you felt that way. You're a pretty odd guy. Sometimes you can have a very pleasant and rational discussion, sometimes you just take the defensive and start bashing...
You are taking my comments as if they were a way to diminish the Bears, which they are not. At least that's not my intention. The impression that you're passing me is that you're hearing some packer fans smacking the Bears and Cutler, and respond to any packer comment like he's doing the same.

And about fearing the Bears with Cutler as a qb, they are improved. But I've discussed with you some points that I think don't make the Bears contenders. And unless they improve in those positions, I won't fear the Bears. They need better production from the wrs, they need better production from that DL, and they need to prove they can shut down a passing game. I saw both Bears games (to some extent, I agree). I did not see anything to fear. The completion rate for the opposite qb was alarming, and playing against us that way won't be easy for you. Right now, I'd say it's a win at Lambeau and a close game at Soldier Field.
Oh, and I fear Hester as a kick returner. That much I give you. The kid's amazing. But luckily your coach thinks he can be a wideout.
