Come To Think Of It: Jay Cutler Has Nightmare Debut For Chicago Bears
Posted: 13th September 2009 by Bob Warja in NFL
I know there is plenty of blame to go around, but one thing that can't be denied is just how bad Jay Cutler played in his very first game as a Chicago Bear.
Yes, I know the offensive line didn't block well. I know the secondary was a sieve at the wrong time. And of course Cutler's targets on offense are largely inexperienced and run questionable routes.

I don’t know about you, but I would like to see major league baseball alter the way in which it allocates wins to pitchers in a ballgame.

I'm not trying to demean or diminish his accomplishment, I'm just saying that while Derek Jeter may have passed the immortal Iron Horse for career hits as a Yankee, he has a long way to go to catch Gehrig in terms of getting on base.
And shouldn't the ultimate goal for every hitter be to get on base?
One way to get on base is to get a hit, of course. And hey, ...
