Cutler's over / under

In 11 years he never thrown more than 28 TD's and he only threw over 25, twice. His career average is around 21 per season. With these weapons and assuming 16 games, I'd say he'll throw 29/15 ints.

it isn't impossible i guess, but straight out of retirement, you think Cutler is gonna have the best season of his career?
 
The real over under should be the number of games the qb cutler takes you out of the game with his play

I'd say the bar is 3. If it's under it's probably 2.5

Just keep in mind last year outside of the first half vs cinci where Ryan let us down we didn't get any games like that. Some may count baltimore but I don't. Our defense took us out of that one and Ryan's mistakes minus his last pick due to lack of eye discipline when the game was a wrap were influenced by contact effecting placement.

fair enough. as i said, it isn't impossible, just not very likely.

but if Ryan Fitzpatrick can have 31/15 with almost 4000 yards, i guess anyone can.

And Ryan fitzpatrick in a week 17 win and get in promptly stunk up the joint.
 
Last year Matt Moore took you out of the Pittsburgh playoff game and he was in the process of taking you out of the critical at buffalo game til gase took the ball out of his hands.

4 starts two qb getting you beat with his play.

No real wonder gase sees the guy as a depth option only.
 
Well, his Career average is 20 TDs, 15 INTs, but I think this year he will get 27 TDs, with 17 INTs. The reason I believe he will get 7 more TDs, to only 2 more INTs then his average is three reasons, Gase has proven he knows how to control, and get the best from Cutler, the passing options of Landry/Stills/Parker, finally Ajayi will not allow defenses to forget the running game.

All of these will give Cutler more time, with more options then he had in Chicago, while having Gase continually in his ear keeping under control.

I will modify my old post and say:

"I feel (Tannehill/now Cutler) may actually throw over 40 TD's. I suspect the offense will score on average 5 or more TD's a game. I think 40+ points a game will be this years standard performance. I believe Coach Gase when he said last season that this team has to have the offense stay on the field longer. Its clear to me that staying on the field longer and completing more drives will help the defense become less worn down and therefor more effective - especially at the end of the game, which in turn helps the offense get on the field more. This is what I am looking forward to seeing. I am certain this will become apparent as the season progresses and I really feel we can become the scoring monster that I am predicting."

I am telling you that these two guys are more similar in performance than any other two current QB's I'm familiar with. Both have great arms and both can throw while off balance. Both are good runners and smart enough not to run too often. Both have taken years of coaching abuse and physical punishment because of weak offensive lines. The biggest difference I see is in their mentalities. Tannehill tries to play by the book and this limits him a bit. Cutler gets frustrated after a while and tries to carry the team on his back. Both have played well in coach Gase's offense for a year and improved! Both are very smart QB's.

With the general improvements made this year in personnel, I expect the offensive line will provide better protection, the passing game will be what most other teams dream of, the running game will continue to progress and the defense will be better in general and especially in the red zone. The defense was somewhat effective in the red zone last year with limited talent. This brings up another issue I see here. I hope fans realize that coach Gase gets everybody on the team to play smarter and more disciplined. That's why they play better. This seems to be one of his greatest gifts, but it goes pretty much unnoticed. Sort of a "can't see the forest for the trees" kind of thing.

In Chicago he had second stringers playing like first stringers and third stringers playing like second stringers. That team was competitive after the first five games, even when they lost. A similar thing happened here last year, except the Dolphins not only competed but they won. Probably because Miami had a wider base of talented players than Chicago. The "Gase" train is on its way and I don't see it slowing down. By the way, in Chicago they had just as bad an injury history with key players as Miami did, so I don't see it becoming as big a problem as some folks on this forum seem to think.

So much yes to this post...40+ TD's is more than doable. 6 and Gase have the chemistry to make this happen...Cutty's first year with Gase running the offense was his best so he can definitely build on that. This is going to extend his career and I wouldn't be surprised if Cutty breaks Miami's single season passing records, ha has the cannon to do it. 6 is a winner and the alpha dog on the field, 6 just never had the weapons in Chicago...you can't put bald tires on a Ferrari!

Expecting 30 TDs from Cutler? That'd be a flippin' miracle. 24TD, 15INT

Yeah I was thinking more in the 25/15 ballpark as well. The guy has thrown over 25 tds twice in his career and throws alot of picks. Gase helped him alot in chicago but thinking he will throw in the 30s would make Gase a quarterback God. Not to mention doing it with the O-line they have.
