Big Ben or Cutler this week?

BigSpoon · 10-04-12, 11:08 PM

A tough matchup but I'd still go with Ben. Cutler and that O-line is not to be trusted.

Ghenghis Kahn · 10-04-12, 11:10 PM

that's a tough one.

cutler could have mediocre numbers since they will be in the lead and running a lot. if you start him, you better hope he has a big first half.

roethlisberger has more of an upside but he could be shut out by philly d.

if it were up to me, i'd gamble and go with roethlisberger. gl

I would go with Big Ben for this week.

mcduggly · 10-04-12, 11:22 PM

Alright, three of you picking Ben makes me pick him. Thanks guys.

ZetaPsi808 · 10-04-12, 11:47 PM

To me it is a coinflip. cutler could be lights out or throw 4 picks. tough choice but i take big ben

Cutler to Marshall all night, go with Cutler or get burned!

Living The Dream · 10-05-12, 07:05 AM

I second Cutler...

onlooker · 10-05-12, 04:50 PM

J.Cutler. Better match-up.

Wrigley · 10-05-12, 05:02 PM

I would take Jay Cutler

Grits n' Gravy · 10-06-12, 12:28 AM

I would never trust Cutler against any team.

LT Profits · 10-06-12, 02:17 AM

Cutler. Jacksonville has no pass rush. Also, if Mendenhall is effective, Ben's numbers will go down the rest of the year. The Steelers WANT to run the ball, they just haven't been able to with their other shitty backs.

Dux90 · 10-06-12, 05:29 AM

I think Cutler also like LT said jacksonville pass rush is horrible he will have time to throw

Cross · 10-06-12, 07:29 AM

Also, Cutlers line has improved and twice is scheming better.

samgurt · 10-06-12, 08:20 AM

Cutler...JAX defense not that good.

will2survive · 10-06-12, 09:04 AM

Rothlisberger is more reliable but this is a toss up. Cutler capable of putting up big or small numbers

ronzer · 10-06-12, 10:44 AM

I would play Ben. Cutler had a good game last week, the odds of that happening two weeks in a row are astronomical.

Why? Bears actually have an offense this year.

koz-man · 10-06-12, 11:37 AM

Both Ben and Cut will probably have similar numbers this week. Like Cutlers match-up a little better.

xraygord · 10-06-12, 02:02 PM

I will take Ben all the way.

ttwarrior1 · 10-06-12, 02:45 PM

tossup, neither of those won't be why you win or lose this week

yisman · 10-06-12, 07:56 PM

I'd rather have Cutler.

More fantasy upside anyway

As is usually the case.....I agree with Yisman.

Yisman is sharp.

That's right
don't overthink it

yisman · 10-06-12, 11:51 PM

thanks opie, I haven't heard from you in a while.

Anyway, according to DVOA, Philly's pass D ranks 5th and Jacksonville's ranks 23rd.

Grits n' Gravy · 10-07-12, 12:12 AM

Putting trust in Mike Tice and Jay Cutler is like leaving tt alone with a crate of twinkies and a Cub Scout. The end result will be a big ball of wrong.

You are overlooking the fact that Cutler has better receivers this year than he has in years past, not to mention he was MUCH higher ranked than Ben before the season. Had anything really happened to change that? Remember that the Steelers will throw less the rest of the year if Mendenhall is just half-decent.

Facepunch · 10-07-12, 11:56 AM

The words Trust and Cutler should never be uttered in a sentence.
That being said. I think the odds are about even, with decent upside for both.
Ben probably not going to shock the world.... which Cutler shows up?

Not an enviable position.

I would probably start Ben.

yisman · 10-07-12, 05:56 PM

I hope you started Cutler.

You know your sheet Yisman, I like that about you!

darrell74 · 10-07-12, 11:22 PM

Stop blowing each other fellahs

That wasn't a brain-buster

Wasn't even a very good fantasy question
Most of us said Jay Cutler
And I bet that most of us didn't spend more than a couple of seconds figuring that out

A lot of people picked Ben...

I did start Cutler thank the holy heavens.

Cutler is trustworthy enough to have won 9 of his last 10 starts and 18 of his last 24.

Shortstop · 10-11-12, 11:44 PM

The Steelers are really banged up badly right now. They have significant injuries on both sides of the ball.

This definitely played a major role in their loss at Tennessee tonight. They should have handled the Titans easily.
