Red zone picks were the only ones that were his fault huh? That’s when it matters the most and proves what everyone is saying about him. When it matters the most to everyone else it doesn’t seem to matter to Cutler.

Brady throws 50+ passes in a game and people question if the Pats can keep winning with him doing that.
Cutler throws 50+ regularly cause Ron Turner is an idiot and Forte only gets 12 carries. So much for your run first team this year Lovie. The fact they keep Olsen into block and have their 2nd and 3rd string TE’s running poor routes show how idiotic Turner is.
Cutler is young and has shown promise, the 2 red zone picks were the only ones that were truly his fault. ESPN did a breakdown – 1 receiver fell, another the DB went through the backup tight end to get the ball – which resulted in a PI call when it was done earlier in the game, and the third the ref got in the way – receiver running poor route straight into ref.

Who was the last great QB in Chicago anyway? Chicago can find a way to make any QB look like a jackass. Jim M. was damn lucky to have the team around him that he did. They got rid of C. Benson for jiminies sake! If you feel that the running game is more important then passing, Why get rid of this guy? Blame your injuries if you’d like, but previous history shows that this organization has their priorities a little skewed. You don’t put a player that could either have a huge upside or is in that upside into a position without a supporting cast. He’s Cutler, not Moses.

One more thing:
Despite all the negative publicity he gets, everyone agrees that Cutler has a cannon arm. Which leads me to the next question:
Did the Bears throw the ball more than 20 yards a single time last night? Seriously, I’m curious.
RON TURNER IS A SORRY EXCUSE FOR AN NFL COACH.

What the hell do you expect him to act like? He was probably in disbelief that HE, the great QB Cutler, made that many mistakes. He was probably still in shock…who cares how he reacted. Was he supposed to cry? to tell the reporter to STHU? I guess if he did those things, you’d be making fun of him too. Just be glad that KARMA rules…

If anyone really thought Cutler was going to put up 4,500 yards passing this year, you should just ask Florio to delete your account..
I stated after the trade that I thought Orton’s 2009 passing yardage would be close to Cutler’s 2009 passing yardage. Orton has better receivers and (by default) better offensive coaching. So you expect Orton’s numbers to go up and Cutler’s to go down.
Until they get some imagination on offense and/or receivers, they won’t get that much out of Cutler.

He does not like to play football.
Kids would come up to him and say they want to play football, he would tell them not to, and that it isn’t fun.
No Joke.

THANK YOU GOD FOR MR. TONY ROMO AFTER WATCHING THAT PATHETIC GAME LAST NIGHT.
——————-
I’m sorry, how can you bang on Cutler and then praise Tony Romo? I mean, Romo’s the better QB more or less – but after your last game of the 2008 season, after getting blown out 44-6 and Romo not throwing a single touchdown… he has the temerity to get up in the press conference and say “If this is the worst thing that happens to me in my life, than I guess I’m okay”. REALLY? That’s one of the douchiest things I’ve ever heard out of a quarterbacks mouth.

purplepuzzyeatrz,
Why are you giving Cutler a pass when other franchise QB’s are criticized for the same thing? Listen Cutler has never made the playoffs and has a hell of an arm and throw for alot of yards but he lacks the winners mentality like Brady, the Mannings, Roethlisberger, Rivers, McNabb and others have. Having a nonchalant attitude toward his and his teams performance this season is not acceptable. The Bears gave up alot to get this guy and just gave him alot of money.

After watching him sulk on the end of the bench in Denver for the last few years, all I can say is Chicago is welcome to him. Orton isn’t as talented at Cutler, but at least he seems to care about how the team is doing.
also… Adios, Lovie! (Your job was on the line in SF) Let the coaching carousel begin.

But we’ll never be able to shed the image of Cutler after one of his blunders removing his helmet and scratching his head with a look on his face

I don’t think Cutler actually said “Feel free to do your job and give me the public ripping I have coming.” Here is the Full paragraph from Silver:
“Fire away,” was the last thing he said to me before heading out to board the team bus and take the long flight back to Chicago, meaning, “Feel free to do your job and give me the public ripping I have coming.”
So one of you is not being clear.

As a Vike fan who is no Cutler fan, I had no problem with his demeanor. Seems to me the more even keel a QB is during the game, including on the sidelines, the better he performs. If Cutler were jumping around and yelling like a jackass after he screwed up, people would be criticizing him for being too emotional. He may not be as good as advertised, and may be a prima donna and a prick, but I wouldn’t trash him for being complacent.

CHI’s problems start with their mediocre OL. They have no running game so teams know they have to pass. At ATL and SF they won the TOP and could move the ball and could have won both games with minimal ball control.
Cutler is just a retard on the road. Obviously he learns nothing week in and out throwing ints. Defianately overrated and not sure Vanderbilt prepared him mentally for the NFL. CHI will have to review this position in the offseason as he isn’t the answer.

Thanks adam-chris schefterson
Most of the comments before yours were so stupid I sorta wanted to put a gun in my mouth rather than read anymore… Even if your not a Broncos fan your smarter than a lot of them.
Oh and some idiot said those kyle orton passes don’t look so bad now which leads me to think you would rather have orton than cutler… i’ve seen used toilet paper that i thought was smarter than you.

The throw to Cribbs should never have been made. Sure, he fell… but the DB was right on top of him and broke at the same time. Poor decision. Cutler believes he can squeeze every ball into any small opening.
___________________________________
1.) Who the hell are you talking about…Cribbs? Maybe you mean Hester?
2.) That was not a bad throw. Had Hester (or…Cribbs) stayed on his feet that would have been a 15-yard completion and a first down.
3.) That was clearly PI on Knox on one of the INTs.
4.) A Bears WR was picked by the umpire on another.
Not to seem like a complete apologist, the other two were certainly on him. And the Bears knew what they were getting with Cutler’s “gunslinger mentality” and welcomed it with open arms. Denver is a much, much better team than the Bears in almost all respects. That being said, anyone who thinks Orton is a better quarterback than Cutler needs to put down the pipe…or stop pretending they know anything about football. You all do remember the game Orton had last weekend, right?

Shut up about Cutler’s demeanor after games. This guy is getting his ass kicked week in and week out and he has a guy in his face milliseconds after the snap. We should all be glad he’s not bitching to the media.
I’m a Bears fan. I don’t care about his disposition.
How about you focus more on why it is Cutler and the Bears are struggling?
Here’s a clue. It’s not his attitude.

I see a lot of denial in here. It’s understandable as your team sold the farm for him and he was labeled as some sort of a messiah, but you can’t say that many MANY people who were in the know (i.e. Broncos fans) didn’t warn you of his shortcomings. I looked past these too when he was a Bronco, but now I see him for what he really is – and it isn’t a winner. His aloofness, nonchalance, whinery and general lack of the leadership “it” factor will not magically appear with the arrival of a top-notch coach, better lineman and receivers. He had ALL of that in Denver and he was exactly the same way. Know what I’m sayin’?

AAHHHH ha ha ha ha ha ha. Nice slinging Orton for Cutler, despite his big finish last season and now obvious maturation. Sure Orton isn’t a home run hitter, franchise staple (yet) but Cutler is really the one looking like a flash in the pan. A case where no Brandon Marshall and no Eddie Royal issues have to be considered. Bad decisions and poor receivers’ decisions combined for the 5 INTs.

@ Turd Furguson: Cutler did have an offense around him when he played in Denver…and he proved he couldn’t win there so why in the world do you think things would be different now!?!
——————————-
Broncos defense 2009:
#3 by yards
#3 by points allowed
Broncos defense 2008:
#29 by yards
#30 by points allowed
Broncos defense 2007:
#19 by yards
#28 by points allowed
But that probably has nothing to do with it, right? Or the fact that he’s throwing to a converted kick returner and some rookies?
I’m no Jay Cutler apologist, but the circumstances are vastly different between Denver’s 2008 defense and Denver’s 2009 defense. And it’s also a very different situation between the 2008 Broncos offense and the 2009 Bears offense.
You can’t just look at the wins and losses and think you’re comparing apples to oranges. What you’ve done is more like comparing apples to beige.

Horrible Article…
Does it make sense for him to freak out and throw his helmet, and rant and rave….
I think he always has a look of dissatisfaction on his face. As the other gentlemen stated. It was clearly a defense mechanism,as he knows the scrutiny he is going to endure.
He is a pro bowl QB, on a horrible team with Horrible Offensive Line(running game case in point), and HORRIBLE receivers.
Put him on the Vikings and his numbers would be off the charts..
I am not a Cutler fan by nature, but he is doing everythning to make play on a shittey team!!!!

He threw 5 INT’s. Quit rationalizing them.

He threw to a Tight End who was covered. Guess what? It’s not interference if both players are competing for the ball. The DB wasn’t trying to hit Olsen. He was right were the ball was thrown and got there first. Poor decision.
Jay Cutler is who many of us thought he was. Young. Big arm. Big head. Big wallett. Knows it all. Not coachable.

When will Bear fans realize they’ve been duped and that Cutler just isn’t a winning QB!?! Cutler’s mistakes are going to make for a long, miserable winter in Chicago.

When Cutler was traded to the Bears the Chicago media and ESPN went above and beyond to discredit Denver and to let Chicago know that they now have a franchise qb. His teams in Denver were 500 but that is because he could not score more then the Denver defense gave up and now he is below 500 and now it is because the defense is bad, which is it? When does it fall on this franchise qb? Remember he stated he throws harder then Elway, hip hip hooray.
