Hey mrplow, did you ever consider you’re getting downvoted because you are making dumb comments?

If you take the time to compare stats and achievements you’d see Cutler has clearly already done more than Jeff George. That aside, if you actually watched his games last year, particularly in November leading up to his injury, you would know that he made several plays with his feet and head as well as with his arm.

I’m not going to oversell him and call the guy elite, but he is definitely a 2nd tier QB in today’s game. Top tier is Brees, Brady, Rodgers, Manning(probably both). I’m not listing these in any order, but these guys are just clearly head and shoulders ahead of the competition. Rivers, Stafford, and Vick might be top tier in some peoples book, but pretty much all other QBs are clearly a step down.

Cutler is on par, if not better, with those runner up guys like Vick (overrated), Cassel, Ryan, Roethlisberger, Romo, Smith, Schaub, potentially Dalton & Newton, etc. Anyone putting him higher or lower than that group probably is probably biased or not an educated fan.

One more thing you’re wrong about: the popular outcry on these boards is to hate on Cutler and rag on the Bears o-line and receivers. Doesn’t seem to be possible with receivers this year, but I’m sure there will be consistent hating on the Bears offense until they start turning heads in the regular season. Then all you trolls will mysteriously disappear from the message boards until the Bears next loss.

Mr plow is a loser, and I think he is a boozer.

Cutler is going to punt the ball on 1st down?

Sorry Bears fans- I agree with the Jeff George comparison. Cutler has intangibles like Trent Dilfer had ability. However impressive he may be at times, he’s always going to find a way to blow it.

Cutler has a very good chance of another Pro Bowl caliber year, especially Marshall and Jeffery. However, its going to be a tough NFC North rivalry.

Man all the Mike martz hate is funny. It sounds just like detroit fans did when we let him go after winning seven games and having the great john kitna throw for 4k yards. Next year we went 0-16. Not saying the bears will come close to being that bad just saying be careful what you wish for…

Cutler will be fine in this offense now that Martz is gone. Very few QB’s in the league would still be able to walk at the end of the year in the Martz system.
How many QB’s have to look at a 7 man rush and know you still have to drop back and pass. Because there is no audibles allowed . One of the stupidest systems ever.

Well i certainly hope that suh doesnt get another 15 yard penalty for pushing cutler down when he’s using his feet and running around.

That was idiotic.

Too bad the rest of his skills suck, he is good at throwing completions to the other team though!

Jay Cutler is a good QB. As good as Rodgers? No. But if he had generally good protection and receivers like A-Rod, he’d tear it up frequently!

Every year both the Bears and Jay Cutler are a popular pick. Those who speak out against either of them (especially Cutler) are mocked and downvoted.

I’m speaking out against both of them.

I hate to be the one to break this to everyone, but Jay Cutler is this generations Jeff George:

Big arm, terrible attitude, not a winner.

Downvote that.

Cutler showed last season that he could move around. He was running for his life back there. Now he’s got some help at WR and if the Bears would just sign Forte…geez. That guy is good.

Jay Cutler’s blood sugar will get too low if he moves around too much!

Over/Under on Rex Ryan comments: 50

Agreed. He’s not Mike Vick or Cam Newton, but he can move better than most QBs in the league. And with his arm strength, he doesn’t have to be perfectly set in the pocket to get serious zip on a pass.

Looking forward to seeing what a non-Martz offense can do with the talent we have now.

Rex Ryan wants to use his feet too.

Jay Cutler has every tangible stat you could want in a Quarterback. The guy played Safety for gosh sakes! Yet his problems stem from intangibles.

Let’s hope we aren’t always talking about how great he could have been. He is only an attitude adjustment away from being something special.

The Bears will be fine, Cutler will be fine as will the offensive line. The offense will be run to help Cutler exceed with his abilities including the ability to read the defense and change the plays when necessary. No more 35 step drops looking downfield to no receivers will definitely help also.

Cutler will avoid some of those unnecessary hits because I HOPE Mike Tice will allow him to audible whereas Martz didn’t. I couldn’t imagine knowing that you are going to get hit, probably pretty hard, and you can’t do anything to stop it. Thanks Mike Martz and for all your infinite wisdom.
