Sadly prolly staying. 'Cause yes, it has been his best year wit the Bears statistically. But even then he's nothing special and he's too fucking clumsy. McCown looked fucking NICE doe. I'd give his ass a serious shot before bringing Cutler back in.
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- Pro Football Hall of Famers Tony Dorsett and Joe DeLamielleure, and former NFL All-Pro Leonard Marshall have been diagnosed as having signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a degenerative condition many scientists say is caused by head trauma and linked to depression and dementia, doctors have told "Outside the Lines."
The three former stars underwent brain scans and clinical evaluations over the past three months at UCLA, as did an unidentified ex-player whose test results are not yet available. Last year, UCLA tested five other former players and diagnosed all five as having signs of CTE, marking the first time doctors found signs of the crippling disease in living former players.
CTE is indicated by a buildup of tau, an abnormal protein that strangles brain cells in areas that control memory, emotions and other functions. Autopsies of more than 50 ex-NFL players, including Hall of Famer Mike Webster and perennial All-Pro Junior Seau, who committed suicide last year, found such tau concentrations.

McCown hasn't been a career journeyman for nothing. Trestman's system has helped both QBs. Let's not forget Green Bay's defense is garbage too. Even if he plays well against us and beyond, Cutler's the better guy when healthy.

How do you figure? This is far from the first case and retired players already tried to do something about it. Their concussion lawsuit recently was settled with no damage to the NFL at all.
