Sounds like Jay Cutler was to Chicago what Matthew Stafford is to the Lions.
Following Jay Cutler could be the best thing to happen to Mike*Glennon

The Bears resolutely ended an era and moved on when they released their franchise quarterback in March. And in the first few days of the first training camp without Cutler in nine years, it’s clear that this has been a clean break.
Nobody’s wistful about the Cutler era. Nobody’s talking about the big shoes to fill or the leadership void with his absence. The Bears have turned the page to a new quarterback era, embraced a new quarterback in Mike Glennon and a quarterback-of-the-future in Mitch Trubisky and moved on from Cutler as quickly as Cutler moved on from the football field.
A fitting conclusion perhaps, but a little strange that there’s no lingering nostalgia for a player who was the focal point of Bears football for eight seasons, a beacon of hope — actually, the beacon of hope — and arguably the best quarterback the Bears have had since Sid Luckman.

Stafford has seven seasons behind him.
I bet there are a lot of teams in this situation, put all their eggs in one basket, build a team around a young quarterback, and then never win the big one.
Will a couple more years make a difference?
This situation has a lot in common with a low-performance stock.
Dump it now or ride it out until it fizzles?
