2012 Outlook: Quality Backup

Last updated on Aug-08-2012 by Jeb Gorham

I still consider Jay Cutler a wild card. Cutler's numbers have not been that great lately. On the flip side, Brandon Marshall is back and Cutler has other weapons. If the running game with Forte and Bush hold production, then the passing game could open up tremendously. I still hold my position that Cutler will not play every game because he will suffer a minor injury. Jason Campbell will be there as security. Cutler had his best season paired with Marshall so I am upgrading my previous prediction to 3,000-3,600 yards for 16-23 TDs. Cutler will also be good for his tranditional double digit interceptions.

2012 Mock Draft Results

Month	Position	Franchise/Comments
MyFantasyLeague Expert Draft May 2, 2012	9.03	Fantasy Sharks
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	10.11	2MugsFF.com - Backing up Stafford's cringe worthy shoulders with the toughness of Jay Cutler. If I had waited on a QB anyway, Cutler would have been my guy.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	9.02	DraftSharks.com - This feels a bit early for a second QB, but I don't feel the need to chase TE -- or the other positions -- here. The format means I'll use Cutler more than just on Vick's bye, and I like the Bear's big-game potential better than others remaining. Of course, Vick's injury risk also makes a strong backup worth securing.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	8.11	FFToolbox.com (Ben) - Other than echoing the surprise from others about backup QBs being selected so early in such a league, I'll move on and take one (I'm scared to wait even with just two picks in between my next selection). I actually like Cutler a touch more than normal and I love that I can pair him with Marshall. So, there's that.
