Except a playoff birth. Stupid move..real stupid. Dever beat New England and should have beaten the Colts--with Plummer. This kid (cutler) is going to have growing pains...season over for Dever.
The problem is there's a list of games they "should have" won but because of Plummer's ineptness they lost. Had they held their lead against San Diego instead of blowing it (largely with bad QB play that couldn't continue drives and eat the clock) and put up some points against KC (again lots of bad incompletions that ended drives pre-maturely) and not chucked 3 INTs against ST Louis they'd be 10-1 right now and #2 in the conference thanks to the Indy loss. Instead Jake played for crap in those games (and in a few they won thanks to their defense putting up two consecutive 11 quarter streaks without giving up a TD) and they're 7-4 nursing the last spot in the playoffs.
Cutler might have growing pains but will the be any worse than the growing pain that has been Plummer this season (and most of his career really). Shanahan apparently thinks they won't be. It was clear when they drafted Culter that the plan was to get rid of Jake and do it fairly soon, the only question was how soon, now we have the answer.
