McCown played well last night, but don't discount how much a crappy Dallas defense had to do with that. McCown had at least three throws that should have been picked off, but the bumbling Cowboys couldn't bring in. The Dallas D is epically bad. That said, the Bears offense is pretty special when it's clicking.
As a fantasy owner of McCown, I'd say definitely. I don't care who the franchise guy is, don't mess with a good thing. McCown is clicking and the Bears cannot afford Cutler easing back into the position.
Also, if Tressman is smart he'd leave in McCown. It's a no lose situation. No one would complain about him playing the hot hand. Can you imagine the pitchforks if Cutler were to start and they lose and miss the playoffs? (as a lions fan I have no faith in them winning out)

McCown has played pretty solid all season. Plus he has only thrown 1 int. Cutler in that span probably would have had 8 or so. Cultler is easily the most overrated qb in the league.
As long as the Bears can keep the players surrounding McCown that are allowing him to be successful, I'd be fine with the Bears trading Cutler for some draft picks. This would also allow them to spend some money in free agency.
Cutler shouldn't lose his spot due to injury. And it's not like he was playing terrible when he was healthy.
McCown is playing well but I believe all but one of this starts have been against the defenses ranked 21st or worst against the pass.
The thing I like about McCown is he limits his boneheaded throws to 1-2 per game (got lucky last night he didn't have at least 2 picks) where as Cutler is usually 4-5. That said, I still think Cutler starts if 100% healthy.

Good point
Not enough coffee yet.That makes the decision much more difficult as far as the contract goes. Seeing how he played well at the beginning of the season when healthy, I think you have to give him the long term deal he wants.
No. McCown has played well, but Cutler is much better. They interviewed players after the game and they all said Cutler is the guy and will start when healthy. McCown should have thrown 3 picks last night if the Cowboys could catch the ball and was bailed out by Jeffrey being the freak he is.
I actually think Cutler is underrated.

Unless more has come out on this, the only "news" here is that the Titans are interested in Cutler. I don't think any decisions have been made about Cutler's future yet. If you have more info, please link...
Cutler is by far a better QB. His arm strength and accuracy are superb.
Even so, he's been injured every year he's been in Chi-town. Time to cut him loose and have some room under the salary cap to beef the D back up with some free agents and draft picks. Some guys are just injury prone. (Mike Brown)
