Aaron Rodgers couldn't have led the Bears any further then they went last year. Far too much blame gets laid at the feet of Cutler when in reality he keeps the teams' hed above water. However I will agree that the team is likely about to take a nosedive to 3rd in the division until they can get a suitable line and some youth at linebacker with Briggs likely on the way out.
Regarding my statement about the Bear's being ahead of the Steelers and Ravens, I was measuring the teams on a power ranking scale. Tsaking last year's performance and the teams' performances so far this year into account you would have a hard time proving me wrong. The Bears the Falcons, the NFC's top record last year and lost to an obvious good team in New Orleans. The offensive line is shaky, but as of yesterday they only hand 2/5 starters playing on the line which didn't help things.

Not go and stand alone like a spoiled brat? The guy simply doesn't get it. You win and lose as a TEAM...something that i believe he still hasnt grasped. I have no doubt he is frustrated with getting clobbered repeatedly...but i ask you how behaving like a petulant child is going to increase the chances of it stopping when those who need to be better are all on that same sideline watching him act that way and feeling completely embarrassed by it?
Yes he gets blamed for a lot, but some of it is completely earned as well. Some of it isnt and that includes him pulling himself from the NFC Championship game...if he was injured and i have no reason to believe that he wasnt, then he did the right thing there. However, yesterdays behaviour combined with his history of histrionics suggests to me that he has little interest in being part of the solution but rather is much happier whining and pointing fingers.
Good luck with that stuff when it comes time to try and lead the team when needed. It just wont fly with the guys in front of him and its why i suggest that the team is in a real fragile spot right now.
