I don ' t understand the Cutler argument . Why is Fox the only coach exempt from failure because he had Cutler ? He was given a choice when he started they literally told him he had complete authority on this matter on whether he wanted Cutler or not , much like Trestman was . He chose to play with Cutler . The Bears are 28 and look to have regressed since last year . Not even the most skeptical fan thought the Bears would be this bad on this soft of a schedule . Players are quitting on the field like they did to Trestman , and I honestly believe that if we had Mel Tucker instead of Fangio , we ' d be setting new franchise records rivaling those of the Trestman era . So aside from lucking out on a better DC , what has Fox done ? If we finish out the season with 3 or less wins , I can ' t see how Fox can be excused from this dumpster fire of a season .
