Quinn signs online class agreement SARA bill will streamline online class enrollment across U.S. BY AUSTIN KEATING INTERIM EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Gov. Pat Quinn came to the University campus Friday to sign a bill that has far-reaching effects on higher education throughout Illinois. The bill, the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement, or SARA, will allow Illinois to join with the members of the Midwestern Higher Education Compact, helping to streamline enrollment in online classes across state lines. Alan Phillips, executive deputy director of the Illinois Board of Higher Education, spoke just before Quinn signed the bill, saying it was necessary to help out-of-state students receive quality education in online courses. “The problem has been that if an Illinois institution wants to offer a course to a student in another state, that course has to be approved by that state,” he said. “So if we have 54 students in 54 states wanting to sign up for one class, it has to be approved 54 different times in 54 different states.” Altogether, Phillips said, factoring in the hundreds of thousands of online courses offered by colleges and Universities throughout the state, it “gets to be a huge problem.” He explained that SARA gives online courses from Illinois and other Universities in the compact the seal of approval automatically, taking the approval process out of the equation, as long as the class has an equivalent in

the corresponding state. “It creates opportunities for students in the state of Illinois, but more importantly, it provides the opportunity for our great institutions to reach out to other states and allow them to take these courses and programs,” Phillips said. Enrollment in the compact means that states must maintain common standards in each online course. “Distance learning allows students to take courses that may not be offered where they are attending college or at times that are more convenient for them,” said State Rep. Robert Pritchard, R-Sycamore, who sponsored the bill, in a press release. Quinn signed the bill with administrators from the University system, and other officials, standing behind him. He said the bill plays into his larger agenda of assisting higher education in a state that had more than 323,000 students enrolled in online classes last year. “There’s more to do, more to build ... President Easter gave me projects for the University campus here, as well as over in Springfield and up in Chicago as well,” Quinn said. “So we’re rolling up our sleeves, we got to keep on going forward on behalf of the common good of all of the people of Illinois.”

Urbana College of Medicine talks move forward BY TYLER DAVIS MANAGING EDITOR

At its Monday meeting, the Senate Executive Committee offered its support to the chancellor and provost to further explore the establishment of a separately accredited College of Medicine on the University’s Urbana campus. Further, SEC encouraged the chancellor and the provost to put the proposal through the appropriate process of review before presenting it to the Urbana-Champaign Senate as soon as possible. Abbas Aminmansour, SEC member and associate professor of architecture, clarified that the endorsement is meant to support the initiative rather than the proposal itself, which must be reviewed by the Urbana-Champaign Senate’s educational policy committee before the SEC would be able to endorse it. Chancellor Phyllis Wise said she’s already received guidance from a subgroup of SEC members, but sought the committee’s support to move forward with the next steps in the process. Pending Urbana-Champaign Senate and Board of Trustees approval, in coming months the college will also require approval from the Illinois Board of Higher Education, Liaison Committee on Medical Education as well as accreditation. The goal, Wise said, is to have a Class of 2017, but this is tentative.

She said the separately accredited college, which will be in full partnership with Carle Health Systems, will broach one of society’s greatest challenges — to provide better health care for more people at a lower cost by using data- and technology-driven medicine. The college, she said, will train a new generation of physicians, relying heavily on the University’s already strong College of Engineering, infusing bioengineering and big data into the year one curriculum. Graduates of this college, she said, will differ from traditional medical school graduates, going on to be physician-engineers, physician-discoverers, physician-inventors and physician-biotechnologists. Some will go into practice, some will go to the academy and others will go into industry and start their own businesses. “We know that companies like Apple and Google and Intel are looking for people to use their platforms in the biomedical (world),” Wise said. She said the college will offer opportunities for economic development not only in Urbana-Champaign, but the rest of the state as well, reaching north from Central Illinois to Chicago. “The graduates of this college — some of them will stay here in our community and hopefully really, really enrich it, but many others will go and populate other areas of the

state, including Chicago,” Wise said. The University will not seek general revenue funds to finance the college, she said, rather relying on tuition, grants and contracts from existing and new faculty, revenue sharing, philanthropy and commercialization. The college requires $100 million over a five-year period to start out, which will cover the initial costs of hiring faculty and renovating an existing campus facility. The college will cost approximately $22 million a year, but this cost will increase as faculty and students increase. “Our belief really is that if this college is successful in bringing better visibility, better respect, greater impact of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, that all of the departments, all of the faculty will benefit, whether or not you’re in the arts and humanities, social sciences or engineering,” Wise said. Kim Graber, vice chair of SEC, said she thinks this college will change the perception of the entire University of Illinois system for the better. “We’ve been looking for ways to improve rankings for years and we kind of stay flat, and I really think this is something that could move us ahead,” she said. Aminmansour said the University is uniquely situated for such an undertaking. “I particularly appreciate the vision that

the entire campus and the University benefits from this — this is not something that is one way, a medical school benefiting from our engineering…,” Aminmansour said. “It’s very appropriate to put it in that context, that the campus is going to benefit from this, of course the University and … the entire world.” He noted that the development of a technology like MRI benefitted the entire world. Wise said that the college could contribute to technological growth in the biomedical field, hypothesizing that something like the miniaturization of existing equipment like an MRI machine would allow access at all clinics and physicians’ offices, rather than only at bigger hospitals. She added that she thinks that tech companies like Apple are trying very hard to develop algorithms for mobile health monitoring software, “but they don’t know enough about medicine to be able to apply it.” For that reason, these tech firms are seeking partners to improve biomedical technology. “This could actually impact healthcare for the underserved,” Wise said. Prior to discussing these plans, SEC had entered executive session with President Robert Easter to review the chancellor.

MANAGING EDITOR

The University of Illinois Board of Trustees passed all items on its agenda at its Thursday meeting, approving the deanship appointments of Barbara Wilson to the College of LAS, Allen Renear to the Graduate School of Library and Information Science in addition to Fritz Drasgow to the School of Labor and Employment Relations. The board also approved the appointment of Sarah Lubienski to interim dean of the Graduate College. The Board of Trustees approved an extension of College of ACES Dean Robert Hauser’s term. Hauser was originally appointed in September 2010, but his term will now run until Aug. 15, 2016. Students Erin Ahern, Brianna Alston and Brent Nelson, alongside anthropology assistant professor Kathryn Clancy, School of LER professor Michael LeRoy and alumna Ann Perry will serve on the Urbana campus’ Athletic Board, effective August 2014 until their term expires or a successor is appointed. The Athletic Board is a committee under the Urbana-Champaign Senate with oversight of intercollegiate athletics on the Urbana campus. The board serves as an advisory committee to the chancellor and athletic director on fi nancial

management, personnel and other operational aspects of the intercollegiate athletics program. Avijit Ghosh, senior advisor to President Robert Easter and professor in Business, will serve as chief executive officer of the University of Illinois Hospital and Health Sciences System. Additionally, Ghosh will serve as associate vice president for hospital operations in the Office of the Vice President for Health Affairs. The board approved the transfer of the Italian program from the department of Spanish, Italian and Portuguese to the newly renamed department of French and Italian, fi nding that more cultural and linguistic connections exist between French and Italian than Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. Other institutions organize their Italian programs in a similar fashion as well. All affected departments will be renamed. During public comment, several undocumented University of Illinois at Chicago students spoke regarding their difficulty in receiving fi nancial aid and scholarships for higher education. These students called on the board to make education more accessible for this growing population of students.

Bud Light Summer Stage rained out, ends early BY CHRISTINE OLIVO STAFF WRITER

The Bud Light Summer Stage event returned to campus Saturday, making it the third year for the festival to hit campus. Although the event was supposed to take place from afternoon to late evening, rain and thunderstorms forced the festivities to come to an early end. Located on John Street between Fifth and Wright streets, The Bud Light Summer Stage events began at 3 p.m. The radio station “Classic Hits 107.9” blasted music from the Main Stage’s speakers, and chairs and tables were spread out across the streets for attendees to sit and enjoy the music and festivities. The brand new Kids Fest started off the

event and hosted activities such as a petting zoo, performances by a cast of Mary Poppins, carnival games, performances by the Champaign Park District Dance Arts Program and more. With the addition of the Kids Fest to the festival, Erin Lippitz, Champaign Center Partnership executive director, said the goal was to bring in more families to the event. “We wanted to organize it for more of a festival for kids to reach out to families,” Lippitz said. “We don’t see a lot of families on campus. They see it as more of an event for students, and we want to change this perception. We’re hoping the Kids Fest encourages families to get down here and stay for the concert.”

Although a few families did stroll in and out of the festival, by 4:30 p.m. people started to leave the event due to rain and approaching storms. Champaign Center volunteers began packing up the carnival games, tables and tents that were set up along the streets. The Scovill Mobile Petting Zoo packed up their animals and the ballet dancers of the Champaign Park District Dance Arts Program continued dancing in the light rain until 5 p.m. “We need everyone to clear the streets,” said a Champaign Center volunteer over the speakers. “We see bad weather approaching and want to keep everyone safe, so please move off the streets.” By 6:30 p.m. the weather had lightened

up, but the event still remained empty of people. Fat Sandwich, where the eating contest was supposed to be held, only had two customers by the 6:45 p.m. starting time, and no winners of the contest were announced. The Champaign Center volunteers started packing up and putting away the main stage, signaling the event had come to a close. By 7 p.m. Fifth and John streets were open to cars to drive through. “We’re calling it a day at the Bud Light Summer Stage,” tweeted the Classic Hits 107.9 Twitter account. “Thanks for joining us, and stay safe.”

Support for Palestine spreads across Urbana Locals protest puts pressure on U.S. government BY ABRAR AL-HEETI STAFF WRITER

Over 150 people lined Main Street outside the federal courthouse in Urbana on Friday, gripping Palestinian flags and signs proclaiming support for Palestine in the wake of ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza. Israel’s offensive against Hamas in Gaza began on July 8, and has resulted in over 1,100 Palestinian deaths and 45 Israeli deaths as of press time, according to a New York Times report. The protest was hosted by the University’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine and included community members from all backgrounds, religions and races. Ahmad Hamdan, president of Students for Justice in Palestine, said the purpose of the protest was to put pressure on the U.S. government to act in the face of such calamities. “Our government is 100 percent complacent in these crimes,” Hamdan said. “Our government is fueling it on an ideological basis, on an economic basis, on a political basis.” He told those participating in the protest never to underestimate the power of demonstrating. “The people always have the power,” Hamdan said. “The people are always the ones who are changers and movers. The people in power like the status quo — we are the ones who are supposed to oppose the status quo and go towards justice, go towards democracy, go towards freedom.”

Social media has played a significant role in sharing information, articles and viewpoints to a wider audience in the wake of the recent incidents. Umama Mahmud, a senior in LAS, said she was inspired to take part in the rally after seeing posts on social media about the conflict in Israel and Gaza and subsequently researching the topic further. “The protest is an opportunity to stand up for what’s going on,” Mahmud said. Champaign-Urbana was not the only community to take part in a protest. Cities across the country and around the world were host to rallies throughout the week in support of Palestine. Chicago held a protest on Sunday, July 20 and another Saturday, July 26 with more than 10,000 people in attendance at each event. As the death toll rises on both sides and the conflict continues, Friday’s demonstrators said they wanted to remind people that despite the fighting being geographically far from the U.S., it is a real situation affecting real people. Nora Al-Qadi, senior in Engineering, said the public outcry in response to the conflict is long overdue as no human should be subject to such conditions. “These are not just statistics on a piece of paper, these aren’t just numbers — these were people who deserved a better life,” Al-Qadi said. “Gaza has no voice — we are their voice.”

Avicenna Health Center provides services to uninsured Health care services supplied to underinsured and uninsured community members BY ABRAR AL-HEETI STAFF WRITER

Since its establishment in 2009, Avicenna Community Health Center, located at 819 Bloomington Rd. in Champaign, has been providing health care to uninsured and underinsured members of the community. The clinic provides services ranging from physical exams to nutritional counseling to health screenings, all with the goal of serving those in the community who lack the otherwise necessary resources. The idea started when a group of local Muslims sought to provide a solution to the pressing problem of inadequate health care for those without the proper insurance. The clinic is now a registered not-for-profit organization with the state of Illinois. Physicians, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists and volunteers make up the team at Avicenna, several of whom are health care professionals from other hospitals and clinics who give their time each week to volunteer. Hany Youssef is the director of lifestyle management and health services at Avicenna and is ACE certified as a personal trainer, lifestyle and weight management coach and fitness and health specialist. This service is a component of the preventive services

Avicenna also provides to its patients. “After a physician finishes the physical exam on a patient, one of our team members will discuss the case with the patient from a lifestyle, dieting and workout prospective,” Youssef said. “We give the patient a list of recommendations including when and what to eat and what type of workout program he or she needs to follow to improve his or her health.” Youssef said he is keen on offering this service to community members who might not otherwise have access to it. “It is very rewarding when you help and educate people on how to prevent and manage different illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, etc.,” he said. Lina Al-Chaar is operations manager at the clinic and a senior in LAS. She got involved with Avicenna her freshman year after a former operations manager told her about volunteering. “After going to an informational session, I learned that the clinic had a great mission statement, and I wanted to help,” she said. Her duties involve organizing, training and overseeing volunteers and interviewing potential interns. She also assists workers at the clinic and provides the Avicenna directors with updates on the clinic’s operations. “I have learned more about the sanctity of the doctor-

patient experience, the triumphant feeling after a group of dedicated individuals solve a complex problem, and the wonders that unique individuals can accomplish when working towards the same goal,” Al-Chaar said. Jasmine Nadhimi is a former Avicenna operations volunteer and a recent University graduate from the College of ACES. She and other operations volunteers check patients in and keep the doctors and other volunteers in line with the day’s schedule. “There are an abundant number of reasons why volunteering is great, but number one for me is the knowledge that I’m making a difference and helping someone keep their health and lead a more satisfying life,” Nadhimi said. The clinic is open every Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m., but Youssef said it will soon begin operating twice a week instead of once a week. Avicenna also relocated this past October from its former Second Street location to its new building on Bloomington Road. “Now, we have a larger facility where we have more rooms to receive more clients, a nice lobby and more staff to help people,” Youssef said.

FBI investigative files reveal more information about Giffords’ shooter BY RICHARD A. SERRANO TRIBUNE WASHINGTON BUREAU

WASHINGTON — Shortly after Jared Lee Loughner shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords as she met with constituents at an Arizona strip mall, FBI agents rushed to his Tucson residence, fearing it was rigged to explode. Technicians with bomb-sniffing dogs found the front door locked and blocked by furniture, so they entered through the garage. After searching the kitchen, front room and hallway, they arrived at Loughner’s bedroom, where dogs focused on a small safe behind the door. Using radiographs to peer inside before opening it, they detected bomb-making components — batteries, a circuit board, wires and a numeric keyboard system. The discovery strongly suggested that Loughner, had he not been captured on that 2011 morning, was preparing for an even more deadly attack. The new details about Loughner are included in 1,500 pages of FBI investigative files, released this week in response to a Freedom of Information Act request by the Los Angeles Times/Tribune Washington Bureau. To avoid the death penalty, Loughner — whose lawyers initially maintained he was mentally incompetent — pleaded guilty and received a life sentence. With no trial, the FBI files provide what likely will be the

public’s only chance to review the federal evidence collected in the case, including Loughner’s love of guns, his eerie rants about semiautomatic weapons, an early encounter with Giffords while he was still in high school and other potential targets. In one Internet posting, he wrote: “I have a new tattoo on my back: 2 9mm bullets.” He added, “There are important figures in my dreams... Hitler, Hilary Clinton and Giffords to name a few,” he said, misspelling the first name of the then-secretary of State. His Jan. 8 attack severely wounded the congresswoman and killed six people, including a federal judge and a 9-year-old girl. Thirteen others were injured. The documents show that Loughner had acquired other weapons and gear, including a 12-gauge shotgun, a 6-inch knife, a tan holster and a box of ammunition. He sometimes loved to show off his arsenal. A longtime friend told the FBI that Loughner visited his home five or six times in the months before the shooting, bragging he had purchased a 9-millimeter Glock for “home protection.” A former high school friend recalled when Giffords visited Loughner’s class for a question-and-answer session. Loughner raised his hand and asked, “If words could not be understood, then what does government mean?” The room went silent. Everyone in the class, the friend said, felt

Loughner “went off the deep end.” Loughner expressed amazement that Giffords did not adequately answer his question, according to the documents. Agents scooped up reams of details about Loughner’s behavior from former classmates, friends and co-workers, information which the government would have had to turn over to his lawyers as they attempted to mount a case of mental incompetence in the event the case went to trial. Agents interviewed others who encountered Loughner during his trips to a nearby desert. A Maryland man visiting relatives in Arizona spotted him driving fast and erratically near a shooting range, then slamming on the brakes and sitting in his vehicle, looking “strange.” On the morning of the shooting, an Arizona Game and Fish Department officer described pulling Loughner over for running a red light. He said Loughner was calm at first, then started crying and then broke out laughing. Although surprised by the odd behavior, the officer let him go. After he was arrested, Loughner was immediately taken to a federal penitentiary, where guards say he was courteous. On the first day he repeatedly turned down any food, even declining a glass of water. “Thank you, I am fine,” he told agents and guards. The FBI investigation developed along

multiple fronts, documents show. Agents desperately searched for a possible accomplice, tracking down various leads pointing to a neo-Nazi in Indiana, a veteran and others. Eventually the bureau concluded Loughner had acted alone. The agents compiled dozens of pages listing their evidence from the scene of the shooting, including bullet holes in parked cars, torn clothing of the injured and video taken from inside the grocery store. They interviewed victims and other eyewitnesses, and learned that moments before the attack, Loughner asked Giffords’ district director, Ron Barber, “Where is the congresswoman? ... Is that the congresswoman?” Then he stepped around a table set up for the event and shot her. Barber was among those injured and later was elected to her congressional seat. The documents suggest Loughner’s obsession with Giffords began long before the attack. Agents heard from one tipster who recalled “seeing Loughner at the library on a regular basis watching videos.” The young man “would repeatedly talk loudly to the computer causing a disturbance to others in the area,” the source said. The tipster remembered once “looking over to his computer and noticing he was watching Giffords speeches online.”

', '(1,(' BUBONIC PLAGUE SURFACES IN CHINA

The Chinese city of Yumen has been sealed and 151 people have been quarantined following the death of a man suffering from the bubonic plague, known also as black death — a pandemic resulting in the deaths of tens of millions in 14th century Europe. Yes, that one. The victim died after he had been in contact with a dead marmot, according to the Guardian. No further cases have been reported, but officials are telling motorists to find alternate routes. That’s decent advice. We’re not huge fans of rat-carried plague or the idea of living out our “Contagion� fantasies — without Matt Damon, it’s just not worth it. On the bright side, CDC says modern antibiotics are effective in treating plague, but the disease can cause serious illness or death without prompt treatment.

Temperatures at this time of year are normally in the mid-80s, according to the Chicago Tribune, but this week will be a bit cooler than normal, with highs in the 70s most days. As of Saturday, the month’s average fell 4.5 degrees beneath the overall average of 84.1 degrees for July, but there’s no need to sweat it — Bill Nelson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said these lower temperatures are not unheard of.

Internships are about experience, not getting paid REBECCA KAPOLNEK Opinions columnist

As

early as freshman year, my academic advisor told me, “the job experience you will gain from an internship is invaluable.� The word “experience� with regard to internships took on new meaning to me this summer, after my junior year. Currently, I am interning with Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in their foundation office. I do anything from planning the center’s major events to writing their public relations documents. I work 40 hours a week, dress in business casual attire and am considered an employee. It is my dream job. However, there is one catch — I am not paid. To be completely honest, when I was looking for internships last spring, I kept my sights set on a job that would pay. The thought of working an entire summer and having no income frightened me. I had been working since my sophomore year of high school — not having a cash flow

was not an option. I almost did not even apply to any job that would not pay, and that is not how I believe students should go about their internship hunt. After countless applications and interviews, I landed the position with Saint Joe’s. While the fact that the position was unpaid was not ideal, I decided the valuable experience I would be receiving from the hospital was more important than pay. That was the best decision I have ever made. Working at Saint Joe’s this summer has solidified my love for event planning. One week into the job, I suddenly didn’t even care about the money and I quickly started getting excited to go to work every day. Because of this, I have adopted the opinion that college students should not write-off an amazing, relevant internship just because it is unpaid. Talking to people who had internships five years back, you will rarely hear that they were paid. Paid internships are a luxury. Some of us are lucky to have this luxury, but those who are not as fortunate should not feel bad about accepting an offer for something unpaid.

In my mind, there is no difference between an internship that is paid vs. unpaid. It is all about what the specific company can afford and one should not feel as though it is a reflection on the job they are doing or the field they are interning in. Yes, I was a little bit freaked out about going the entire summer without a paycheck, but I did what I had to do and got a part-time job as well. Having an unpaid internship is not a death sentence for your social life either. Sure, you might not be able to afford those Lollapalooza tickets or a new designer purse, but by cutting back on the daily coffee runs or vending machine purchases you can save yourself tons of money, making more funds available to have fun. If anything, having an unpaid internship has made me better at managing the money I make at my second job. I have learned how to live thrifty. When looking for an internship, college students really need to focus on what experience they will gain from the job and not just how much it is going to pay. The money will come with experience and the only way to get this experience is

to get an internship in a field you enjoy. Throughout my time at Saint Joe’s I have learned so many things that I can take with me as I establish my career. I learned how to make publications, use Publisher efficiently, set up venues and run an event from start to finish. But most importantly, I look forward to going to work every single day. My boss inspires me and the entire office truly loves what they are doing. Being in an atmosphere like this gives me hope for my future in the field of public relations and event planning. Internships should not be about money and students should not fear a summer without a paycheck. Get a job during the school year to make up the difference or do what I did and get a part-time job on days off of the internship. Go for the experience and knowledge you will gain through unpaid internships. Although I wasn’t paid, I feel more prepared than ever to enter the workforce next year because of the skills I gained at Saint Joe’s this summer. And, to top it all off, I have had the time of my life.

Cutler in need of productive season to silence his critics Pressure rises for Chicago Bears’ Jay Cutler to perform well this upcoming season and fulfill his potential ALEX ROUX Sports columnist

W

ho is Jay Cutler? He’s the long-term quarterback of the Chicago Bears, this much we know. He’s No. 6 under center with the high-powered arm and that brand new $127 million contract. And with Derrick Rose hot on his heels, he’s currently the most polarizing athlete in Chicago. It’s what we don’t know about Cutler that is more complicated. Can he stay healthy for an entire season for the first time since 2009? Not sure. If he stays healthy, will he play well enough to lead the Bears to their first playoff appearance since the 2010 season? Maybe. Will he ever reach his potential and establish himself as a consistent winner? Cue the patented “Cutler shrug�. With Cutler and the Bears reporting to training camp last week, these are questions on everyone’s mind. But the way I see it, there’s no question that this is the year Cutler needs to perform and silence his doubters, or else things will get real ugly in Chicago. Until this season, Cutler’s shortcomings have been the result of what I see as legitimate excuses. You can’t blame the guy for getting hurt. Also, his offensive line was atrocious in his first couple of years with the Bears, allowing Cutler to be the NFL’s most-sacked QB in 2010. He’s had two different head coaches and a revolving door of offensive coordinators in five seasons. And despite all of that, Cutler’s been the best quarterback Chicago has had since Sid Luckman took snaps in the 1950s. He led the Bears to within a game of the Super Bowl in 2011, only to suffer an unfortunate knee injury in the third quarter of the NFC Championship. He posted a quarterback rating of 89.2 in 2013, the highest mark of his career. His performance has instilled enough confidence in head coach Marc Trestman and the Bears

front office to earn a new seven-year deal. The table is set for Cutler heading into 2014, and he needs to make it count. He has the luxury of playing under the same offensive coordinator in consecutive seasons — he’s had four in five years with the Bears — and he should now be more than comfortable in Trestman’s QB-friendly system. Cutler has the best receiving duo in the game at his disposal, as Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery are downright frightening for opposing defenses. Running back Matt Forte can keep the pressure off Cutler with another productive season on the ground, and he’s also an above-average pass-catcher out of the backfield. Cutler’s offensive line is more than solid, and tight end Martellus Bennett gives the Bears another downfield threat. Barring injury, there is simply no excuse for Cutler to fail with this offense. It’s stacked. Cutler will be held to a Playoffs or Bust standard by fans this year, even if that’s not totally fair. The defense is a huge question mark after last season’s yearlong debacle, and the offense can’t win games on its own. Several criticisms of Cutler have been outside of his control, and some positive things that he can’t control will likely have to happen on the field in order for public opinion to shift in his favor. That’s just how it is. But he can certainly help his own cause, and he should be poised more than ever to do just that. If the Bears fall short of the playoffs for the seventh time since their Super Bowl appearance season of 2006, Cutler will likely take most of the heat. Cutler knows this, and with expectations high and fan patience low, the pressure is on him. He’s in the best position to succeed in Chicago since his career began. The window to win for the Bears is as wide as we’ve seen it since 2011. A productive, healthy season from Cutler would go a long way toward silencing his critics. But if we see more injuries, pouting and picks? The haters will only multiply and get louder.
