Per the ChicagoBears.com Twitter Feed (Larry Mayer)
LM: Breaking news: Todd Collins will start at QB for #Bears Sunday in Carolina.
Looks like Cutler is completely out for the weekend. More links and info from around the journosphere after the jump.
Note from Dane: I'm going to go ahead and make this an Open Thread, for those of you who would have a hard time showing restraint over this. :)
From around the twitterverse:
Cutler was evaluated after practice Wednesday. Doctors say making progress but team making smart, safe decision to sit Cutler out
Quick reaction: Dammit.
Long reaction: This is the only really logical course of action. Player safety and the longevity of Jay Cutler's general well-being are far more important than his ability to play the Panthers. This doesn't automatically rule out all chance of the Bears winning, but look for a much different plan of attack than in recent weeks. Defensively, more of the same will be well, but the gameplan is definitely going to have to change for the offense.
The big question a lot of you will have is, "Why not Caleb Hanie?" The answer, quite simply, is he's still #3 on the depth chart. The team feels he's a number 3 right now, so they're going with that. However, I'd be willing to say that Collins will be on a short leash, so if he's not getting it done against the Panthers, you may see Hanie yet.

What's a running game?
Maybe we should just wildcat Forte and Taylor every play for the first series.
PUKE
Start Jay to keep his streak going, then pull him after a series.
Or maybe the plan is to see if the line gets Collins killed and then send Jay in if it’s not too bad.
Either way, so much for offensive production.
It looks like Jay is completely ruled out.
Physicians decision.

Really?
Your prioritizing a “streak” over the player’s personal health?
C’mon. I’m sure it’s irritating, but think clearly.
When you go to somebody's house, you don't crap on their floor. Being a fan of one team does NOT give you license to be a dick to fans of another.

My post
was placed prior to knowing that he was ruled out completely. It wouldn’t be the first time that a player has started just to keep a record going.
If you’ll read other posts, you’ll see I agree with holding him out completely. I was working on the assumption that they planned to put him in later in the game.
Curious
I was working on the assumption that they planned to put him in later in the game.
Where did that assumption even come from? I’m really asking, not trying to be snarky or anything. It doesn’t make the slightest bit of sense to me.
Based on
Jay practicing, which, at the time, led me to believe that he had already been cleared to play.
Given the early rush some teams have put on us, it’s not out of the question to think that they might use Collins as a bit of a sacrificial lamb when the defensive line is fresh, and put Cutler in the game later on if there is a real need for scoring potential.

Potential QB controversy?
Except they’re battling over who DOESN"t play.

We’re paying Collins a cool million, Haine is getting poop. Collins has played sucessfully before, Hanie has no real regular season work. I’d still rather have the kid in there.
Yeah
you’re right. I understand the motives from the Bears but like you, I’d like Hanie in. Ow well, just see how it’s going to pan out. Still got quite a good feeling about Sunday.
I think
we’ll be okay this week. I just like Hanie’s arm in Martz’s system.
If we can get a run game going, it won’t matter much…but I don’t have a lot of faith in that possibility.
I like Collins decision making better
If he stinks it up in the first half, then we’ll probably see Mr. Hanky Hanie.

How Collins works out, … Do we use Hanie, … is Cutler a decoy, … like an exibition game that counts in the standings unfortunately.
We don’t have a QB situation, we have a meltdown
… and need to see how/where to go. Nice to see the Mgmt. being methodical.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck....
Silver lining is our Oline will probably get him knocked out by the 2nd series so Hanie will be in before you know it.

Good decision to bench Cutler
I do not want to see him on the field for at least another 2-3 weeks. We’ve got pretty marginal teams on the schedule for this stretch (Carolina, Seattle, Washington, Buffalo), and we should be able to set up some kind of running game against some pretty bad defenses.
This doesn’t preclude them making Cutler the Emergency 3rd QB for any of those games, of course. That’s where I want to see JayJay for the next few weeks. Emergency 3rd. He’s too important to the long-term health of this franchise to risk him any more than that. If the Bears are in a close game in the 4th and both Collins and Hanie have been ineffective in passing situations, then maybe I’d consider putting him in. Otherwise, give him a good, long stretch of R&R.
I am, however, disappointed that we won’t get to see the Caleb Hanie show this weekend. Todd Collins is a solid backup. But that’s about it. A backup. And probably not around here next year anyway. Hanie, meanwhile, is a young QB with good talent that doesn’t have any experience. He needs experience if he’s going to be the long-term backup to Cutler around here, especially with our piss-poor offensive line.
The next time I want to see Jay Cutler in the starting lineup for the Chicago Bears is November 7th at the Buffalo Bills. I’d like to give him as long as possible to come back from this concussion, and he probably needs the cool-down period after that mauling he took. The reason the Bills and not the Queens is because I want to give him at least one warmup game before being tossed in the lions den. And I don’t want to see the Skins maul him either. I don’t think he’ll be ready for the Chickens. 4 weeks sounds like a long enough time to recover from that mauling, dontcha think?
Yes it does.
At least for Carolina, there’s no way he can step on the field.

Um
I’d like to see him against the Redskins. That could be wildcard tiebreaker territory.
If I did what I love for a living, what would I do in my free time?
Writer at windycitygridiron.com {-/-} http://www.twitter.com/kdoggers
That game, to me, is up in the air...
and it depends on how the Bears perform this week and against the Chickens next week. If they win both games and get reasonable offensive production from the Collins/Hanie mess, then I say that Cutler can’t possibly start against Washington. Their defense is full of talented playmakers, though they’ve underperformed chronically, and it has the feeling of another Cutler crushfest.
I’m not saying I don’t want Cutler to dress against the Skins. I just don’t want him starting there. I feel that the Caleb Hanie Show will be effective enough that Cutler won’t be needed at that time. He can always be the #2 or #E3 for that game, meaning he can play if necessary. I just don’t want it to be necessary that he plays that quickly after the mauling.
I agree with this in every way...
knowing the potential it has on the Bears, long term. Once you suffer a concussion, your chances of suffering another increase.
We SHOULD be able to handle the Panthers with Collins, and the Seahawks are all over the place so far this season. McNabb is dangerous, so I am worried about the Skins game.
I think the Bills game would be the best place to see Jay return, but I’m willing to bet we’ll see him next week for the Seahawks.
not to mention
If Cutler is our a couple weeks, and Hanie excels, we have trade bait.
Trade who?
We are literally in a situation where we would be having someone prove they’re a good backup, BECAUSE we had to use a backup.
Surely you can’t mean Collins, because, well, Collins.

but we have
no depth at QB. Who are we going to pick up to fill the spot, another 7th round QB that Martz ignores?
Hanie makes next to nothing, and Collins won’t be here next year. Trading Hanie, good or bad, is kinda dumb.
Hanie's salary is minimal
And his potential is pretty large. Why trade a guy not costing you anything?
Granted I'm not the coach, but I'd take Hanie
Collins is more limited in arm strength than Hanie.
The 20yard comeback that Collins missed on the the Giants game was pretty bad.
With that said, I think Collins would take less risk. So for me it’s not the worst thing in the world. Still, I’d go with Hanie.
Come on ground game & defense!!!
After watching Todd Collins
perform so mightily this past Sunday, I was hoping that the news would say that Hanie is starting. Lets hope for a Sunday of over usage of the Wildcat?
So Mart Forte can run into the back of J'Marcus Webb?
No thanks.

Wait just a second!
So what you are telling me is that there is virtually zero difference?
Play it safe, good, but it hurts our chances to win.
Maybe not this weekend, because the Panthers are the lowest-scoring offense in the league, but you never know.
When was the last time Chicago was SAD about a QB change. Kind of nice, isn’t it. I am sad to see his consecutive starts streak end though. Maybe him getting concussed will teach JA to invest in the o-line more. One can only hope.
"I feel like the pieces are in place. But we have to execute...It's about execution. You have to execute. You have to have a scheme that facilitates the strengths of your players. If it doesn't, then it's a bad scheme. It's that simple. So we feel real good about the parts in place on offense."

wow
As a lifelong Bears fan and an optimist on top of that, I’d just like to say that we are 100% F’d until Cutler returns. Then we’re probably 80% F’d for the rest of the season.
START HANIE!
The offense under Collins is going to look the same as it did when Kyle Orton was starting as a rookie: 2 runs followed by a 3 yard pass on a shallow crossing route follwed by a punt. I think Hanie brings a little more playmaking ability onto the field.

Ugh!
While I agree with the decision to sit Cutler against an 0-4 team, I would much rather see Hanie get the nod over Collins. Concussions are not fun at all and can have lingering effects so I’m happy to see the Bears put long-term stability over short-term success right now.
Am I the only one that noticed Collins couldn’t even get the ball over the o-line last week? Ridiculous.
To Dane, sorry you won’t get to watch the greatness that is Jay Cutler live in person. As tough as that loss to ATL was last year, Cutler made it well worth the money spent. The Pink Pony also made the loss a little more bearable.
WILDCARD BITCHES!!! YEEEEHHHAAAAA!!!!!

What percent chance, does Cutler have to start this Sunday?
What percent chance, does Chris Williams have to dress Sunday?
And if Cutler does have a set back, do you see Collins or Hanie getting the start?

Cutler 25 percent, likely less

This doesn't look like it'll be a very pretty game.
But if you had to choose a game to sit your starting QB, it’d be this one. Or Buffalo.
Don't worry Boys, we'll weather this storm of approval, and come out as hated as ever.
Buffalo is not that bad
They definitely aren’t on the panthers level of bad that’s for sure. Thank god we play Seattle at home and not in Seattle cause no way we could win a game in the 12th man without Cutler.

They're still pretty bad.
And we’re playing them in Toronto, so that seriously erodes, if not nulliifes, any home field advantage
Don't worry Boys, we'll weather this storm of approval, and come out as hated as ever.

At least the Panthers are struggling right now so it is better than having Collins against someone like the Packers.

i can honestly see
us losing this game. carolina is underrated, and their biggest weakness is pass defense. Todd Collins isn’t exactly a passing threat.
cutler’s the engine that runs this offense. we don’t have him, nothing will happen on offense.
Carolina's pass defense is good
they limited Carson Palmer and Drew Brees the past 2 weeks. Although they did suck against Eli Manning. If anything, their pass rush is awful.

I cannot believe the bears are this dumb
Lovie’s teams have been criticized heavily in the past for terrible personnel management, and not getting the right people onto the field – but this is ridiculous.
There is absolutely no reason, other than paying him a whole bunch and being too full of pride to admit that’s a mistake, not to start Hanie over Collins.

Pretty sure if you take a trip to Halas Hall you’ll see this on Jerry Angelo’s wall somewhere or possibly tattooed on his hand so he never forgets.
Those are really the only two reasons somebody does start on this team.
WILDCARD BITCHES!!! YEEEEHHHAAAAA!!!!!
Nope... smartest move they can make.
The OL WILL get someone injured. Please insert the geezer before the kid. Hanie has potential to be a solid backup, let’s not break him before we get him properly programmed.

He's definitely not Cutler but Collins looked pretty good in the pre-season game and
Hanie’s shoulder injury may not be completely healed yet so why take that chance. I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but I think the Bears coaches and front office have made a good decision here. I just threw up in my mouth a little…..

If I’m Martz, and I have to choose which of my 2 QB’s to possibly get injured, I pick Collins.
Hanie has way more upside. If your OL is gonna get someone killed, please let it be Collins before Hanie.
Kinda makes me think this is an indictment of the ineptitude of the OL. I understand it’s Carolina – but, any given Sunday…..
Sit Cutler – absolutely
Start Collins – yep
Keep the kid safe, break glass in case of emergency only – yes.

Hanie over Collins
Can’t F@#king believe it.
Just like Bears to start some washed up journeyman over talented youngster. Hanie is much, much better suited to this offense and has the long term potential. Hanie’s mobile, tough, big arm, and confident. Panthers are starting a rookie so why not Hanie?
I predict Collins flails, gets knocked out of game, and Hanie comes in but too late to get win. Aaaa is anyone awake at the wheel? Lovie, Mike, Jerry… somebody?
even without cutler
its still a pretty even football game. collins or hanie does it matter? i want who ever is gonna hurt us less,and i guess that collins. tho he did throw a pick in just what 11 pass att. we need a big shut out by the D. plain and simple
Bill Swerski: Alright, alright! Now, let me shift gears here for a moment. What is God's role in this? Obviously, he's rooting for Da Bears.
Collins
I can understand playing Collins, sure, but I’d rather see what Hanie can do, should be a low-scoring defensive battle and maybe they’re just going conservative.
My question about Hanie
is the upside debate, i’d hate to see the kid ride the bench with all his upside sitting next to him…the saddest thing in life is wasted talent

He may just single-handedly win the game. If only we could have 3 of him on the D-line, (wouldn’t want IZZY off of the line)
Cant say
I am surprised since Martz is known for liking players that have played in his system over everything else…..Just ask san fran fans about Martz and shoving jto down their throats that whole time he was there…..
Though with this O line Collins will be dead by the end of the 1st qtr….Wonder if they will hold last rites for him….
It was very boring. Followed by a short period of terrifying….

Just stick him on a treadmill for the weekend and say that he needs three figures of miles before they come back. That’ll work just fine.
Not even a SNIFF?

We could say that we are starting Collins then BAM, you see Cutler and the Panthers will be left unprepared.
Im not the coaches but,
Hanie has looked better to me any time he has been in over Collins time at the helm.
The Bears are going into an away game against an 0/4 team that must believe that the Bears are easily beatable now. Last week we go against an 0/3 team at their home and got shit stomped!

He did use the word "bub".

Ill be darn...
I stand corrected. Hmmmm How about they played like an 0/3 team at home in a town that can turn on their team as fast Philadalphia??
This is nice and all, but
who’s the emergency 3rd QB this week?
Juice Williams?
Gutierrez?
Eric Peterman?
My uncle Danny?
I think my uncle danny is the only guy who stands a chance, he’s around 340lbs and stands about 6’2
play him and just do qb sneaks
A dozen for Devin baby
I love how Lovie says
that he’s not going to reveal who the emergency QB is for “gameplanning” reasons.
Attention Lovie, if you need your emergency QB on the field, I’d say the gameplanning is a little irrelevant at that point.

thats it!
Im going to do it!…..im bringing it out!………White Rex Grossman jersey is coming out this sunday
NOTICE TO BEAR LOVIN 21
Ditkavsworld is unable to type due to the stroke that was caused by the phrase
White Rex Grossman jersey
He will not be able to correspond but know that the stroke while a surpise was not devestating and he will still be able to read the fantastic banter. He did want me to send along his thanks for not posting a picture of the above phrase due to the fact it may have caused blindness and thus making him unable to function on this website in the future.
