Personally, when I watch the Bears, I see a team with some impressive young talent, but not nearly enough at this point to be competitive over four quarters. I also see a team lost at quarterback, with or without Jay Cutler, who returns by default to the starting lineup for Monday night’s game against the Vikings at Soldier Field .
The Bears don’t want Cutler anymore. But coach John Fox has no other choice. Brian Hoyer’s left arm is broke and Matt Barkley’s right one is useless (see: 18.3 passer rating in relief of Hoyer in last week’s 26-10 loss to the Packers at Lambeau Field).
