Somebody please try to convince me that the FO has a plan.

This thread is cast in a different light after the Cutler ordeal. What's got me scratching my head (still) is the lack of discussion by the FO prior to Cutler about the possibility of looking for a new QB. It irks me a bit, so I'm less inclined to say yes there's a plan laid out and it contains such and such goal or whatever. As GTripp and others have delineated in convincing fashion (IMO) Cutler is not a drastic improvement over JC. He plays in a division of weak defenses and has a great offensive unit all around him...recent 1st rd talent OL and very good WR, TE and even top running game. JC has a good TE and a good running game for about half a season...big difference otherwise. So Cutler's relative success statswise ain't too mysterious. Why then did the FO seemingly fall headoverheels over this guy who'd cost the franchise an arm and a leg in picks, money, etc? It's actually harder to see a plan at this point.
