Wondering about a player, a past game or another issue involving the Bears? Senior writer Larry Mayer answers a variety of email questions from fans on ChicagoBears.com.
I know that Jay Cutler has played better this season, but I was wondering if you think he is a lock to return as the Bears starting quarterback next year.

I would be very surprised if Jay Cutler does not return as Bears quarterback next season. I feel that he’s done an excellent job of operating the offense this year, especially with a rash of injuries at the wide receiver position that has led to little or no continuity in the passing game.
