You can choose the offense based on the QB.

Cutler gets some weird hate some times but he has, in my opinion, the strongest arm in the history of the NFL, or at least one of the strongest.

In addition he's a highly accomplished QB that's asked to make a variety of throws, can pinpoint deep balls which is unheard of with the velocity he has, and can go through his progressions seamlessly.

The better question would be would you rather have Alex Smith or Teddy Bridgewater, or Alex Smith or Manziel. That's tougher because you have to figure what Alex Smith brings to the table as an accomplished starter who won't usually gently caress up a game versus unknown potential.

Are we talking about for the same price? Because Smith's agent is dreaming, he's going to get 12-14 per year, no one will give him more than that unless he wins MVP next year. At 12 million I would think it is pretty close and might take Alex due to durability.

Nice breakdown of him. I've never heard anything like this other than he has a strong arm.

How much control of the offense is he allowed under Trestman's scheme?

Everybody here overvalues Cutler by a lot. He's a cool dude and makes dumb people angry but he's pretty much the definition of middle of the pack. Add to that his injury concerns over the past few years and its not as clear as you guys are making it out to be. I'm not saying I'd necessarily take Smith, but its a close thing.

Not disagreeing with that point, but I would question the "highly accomplished" part. No doubt he has all the physical tools, but he makes a lot of really, really dumb plays "franchise QBs" should not be making.

To clarify, I'm not saying I would take Smith over him, but for me it wouldn't be a clear cut decision either way.

You're both right. Cutler also does a lot of bone headed plays and he does have injury concerns. He is kind of middle of the pack, but we are also in a really privileged age of QBs where arguably the 1A and 1B of QBs of all time are playing right now. After that you have phenomenal QBs that would be regarded as the top tier if Peyton and Brady never played the game.

But the question is would you rather have Cutler or Smith, and I'd definitely put Smith way behind Cutler without even a question to it. Cutler can do everything Smith can and more, and they're both about as good as each other in a game manager situation.

Let me ask a different question.

You can start 1 QB (Cutler or Smith) for a playoff run. Does that change anything?

I've watched Cutler put up points with a WR core of Hester, Knox(RIP) and Bennett. I've seen Cutler play and fight through getting sacked the most out of any player in the league over a 3-4 year span. He had receivers running the wrong routes and took poo poo for being injured and had everything about him questioned.

I saw him throw a 50 yard back shoulder pass on a loving line, He is full stop the best Quarterback to ever put on a Bears Jersey(High Praise I know).

He occasionally does stupid things, But I have faith in Cutler putting a team on his back and dragging a lovely defense to wins, than I do having Alex Smith doing the same thing.

On a playoff caliber team?

Cutler easy, Cutler only has had one year where he was on an offense that was above league average, 2013. Before last year it was Cutler and Forte vs the world. Mike Tice was a loving idiot offensive coordinator.

And He still either would have made the playoffs(He got injured but would have been back were it not for Caleb Hanie and Marion Barber), or had a terrible goddamn defense(last year), or a Mike Tice lead offense...

Oh god this play. FB blew up after this play. Cutler has 4 inches and like 25 pounds on Golden. That really isn't that impressive of a play other than a QB actively seeking contact which I will admit is pretty bad rear end.

I really don't want to put any effort to argue (via youtube/stats). Sorry but I don't care that much. :3: So I'll just say this: Cutler can run (he does it pretty much every game) and his interceptions are directly related to the fact that he actually throws the ball more often and further than Smith. Alex Smith never has that opportunity because JC is his best receiver- and I know his receivers suck but they aren't trash. He just never throws it.

I really don't want to grab a bunch of stats and youtube videos to show you why you're wrong. The interceptions is directly related to how often and far he throws it. Smith never has an opportunity to even cause an interception because JC is his best receiver.

There was also no way the 49ers were getting more than a fourth for Alex Smith. What I'm saying is I fully expect KC to end up giving him at least 16 million a year, I'm just hoping they keep it close to that.

Alex lead the special teams more than the defense to those points against Washington. No one saw that game because everyone was watching the Philly/Detroit snow bowl but it was one of the more amazingly terrible special teams displays I've ever seen, even by Washington's standards.
