Cutler left-handed is better than Hanie.

Right before Bailey booted what would have been a game-winner, Garrett snatched victory away by pulling a Mike Shanahan on his own guy. But why?
"Just because we felt like the play clock was running down. Just wanted to make sure he had a real clean opportunity at it," Garrett said. "It was at about 6 (seconds), and we were still getting settled in, so we banged a timeout just to give him an opportunity to get the snap off and kick as clean as possible."
Predictably, you know what happened on Bailey's second attempt.
Any second-guessing Garrett might have been experiencing, he didn't reveal to reporters.
"I think the biggest thing you try to do is you try to evaluate the situation, how you handled it and why you made that decision," Garrett said. "If you get in that situation again, maybe you handle it the exact same way, maybe you do something differently."
The latter probably would work best. Icing your own kicker rarely, if ever, ends well.

Sanchez gets the same grief.
The only stat that matter are wins and losses. If style points are so important to some then follow figure skating or gymnastics.

The Red Zone is like the Niners kryptonite, we need to trade in those three point FG's for some TD's. 
All in all, regardless of what happens in the playoffs, I am very happy with how SF has played this season. Hopefully, with a little improvement, this is the start to something great.

All this bitching that he isn't a QB, Dilfer wasn't much of a QB, but he has a Super Bowl ring, because he did his job and had a great defense. Tebow is on the field being paid to be a professional QB, in the elite league for football. That's a QB, not a person on a forum claiming to know all about what a QB is.

Hey, I'll take wins over pretty throws and stats. 
Tebow wins...'nuff said. What else do they want?

as soon as they play a team that puts up high offensive numbers and points, they will lose... as they did against the lions a few weeks back.
you think denver is going to win games against teams like green bay, new england, new orleans teams that all have over 40 TD's this season.
they've played one team with a high TD #'s in the last 6 games... and it was detroit, and they got raped, and yes with jesus starting.

Cam Newton may be your ROY. Team is 4-8. No one has ever said Alex Smith should be 10-2, but they are.

i dislike both of those quarterbacks equally (as you can imagine they both had beef with my LSU team in recent years)
but my opinion... you put cam newton on the broncos team, they win those same games, and win them bigger.
put tebow on the panthers, and not only do they lose the same games, but lose more of them.

It's possible. It's also not relevant, because it's purely speculative. It's like saying Ryan Leaf might not have been a flameout if he was drafted by the Colts. There's lots of things an individual can control, but more so that's related to the team, the management, the coaches, the system and the environment.
The only thing that really matters is they are in first place, with only one really tough game remaining.
