I'm a little surprised by this move, but I certainly understand it.
Cutler has been beyond awful this year. I would have benched him at halftime of the second game against the Packers. In fact, it's a good thing I wasn't in charge of the team during that game because I would have fired the entire team and coaching staff. (I was a bit upset)
Of course, new starter Jimmy Claussen is worse than Cutler, but a statement is being made here. And if we lose these last two games, at least we'll move up the draft chart.
Plus, I'm rooting for the Lions now. You have to pick someone in the playoffs when you're team doesn't make it, and I've never hated the Lions. They are the Cubs of the NFL.
