Jay Cutler to Start Against the Browns on Sunday

JayHatI’m probably stepping on some toes here – sorry, Jay R. – but I thought you folks would want to know:

Today, Bears coach Marc Trestman announced that a recuperated Jay Cutler will start for the team on Sunday against the Browns. That decision, of course, comes against the backdrop of Josh McCown playing exceedingly well in the role of Wally Pipp.

Jay (as in the writer of this blog, not the quarterback) will probably have much more on this, but, hey, I was sitting at my computer. I don’t know all of the nuances of the decision, and if I tried to expound, I would likely sound like the FacebookCubs version of a Bears fan.
