Jay Cutler has not been the answer for the Chicago Bears. The franchise quarterback has struggled to stay healthy and has failed to lead the team to anything meaningful over the past few seasons.

There’s a good chance that Cutler could be gone after this season. In fact, the Bears would only lose $2 million in cap space if he was released before the 2017 season. If the Bears want to move forward, they could dump Cutler and pick up a new quarterback in the first round.

DeShone Kizer already looks like the best quarterback in this draft class. He has great size and arm strength while also showing off some solid mobility out of the pocket. He’s made some pro-level throws this season, but has also had some mental errors that happen with young quarterbacks.

All of the tools are there, however, for Kizer to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. If the Bears want to blow it up and start rebuilding, adding a QB like the Notre Dame prospect would be a good way to start.
