What It Means:

This is a shocker. Apparently the coaching staff couldn't stomach another one of the Clausen's performances, tanking the season or not. Cutler will provide an immediate upgrade to this passing attack no matter what condition he's in.

Against the lowly Raiders defense, Cutler has immediately become our top quarterback option for the week. We project him for 432 yards passing, 3 touchdowns, 2 interceptions, and six rushes for 27 yards on the ground.
