Comments on: Cutler caught on camera swearing at offensive line

What is he suppose to say? “Excuse me J’Marcus, can you please try a lil harder to block that Fabio wanna be? Thanks I really appreciate your hard work…”

I’m fairly certain any QB getting pummeled on basically every play would at the very least “cuss out” the man/men responsible. It is the NFL, and this is the Chicago Bears, a tough team in a tough city.. I applaud Cutler for calling Webb out, as this has gone on FAR too long.. Yes Webb has the physical attributes to be a premier LT, but I think he is content on just being a starter (by default I must add), and not continuing to be a great starter. He seems to be more in tune with his Twitter followers than anything else.. How the hell he has a legitimate following is beyond me…

As far as Cutler patting Marshall on the head after the dropped TD pass, I think that in itself shows leadership.. Why? Because a true leader knows what buttons to push on what guys.. Everyone is different and needs to be pushed in a different way.. Some people respond better to positivity, while others respond better when you get them pissed off.. Its hard to tell when you’re not in the locker room with them, or on the football field everyday… On another note, I don’t know what to take away from Cutler putting a small shoulder bump into Webb.. I guess he figured if he was mad maybe he’d stop p**sy farting around and try to stop someone? Its not like he had anything to lose like some people suggest the line would start “letting people by them to tee off on Cutler..” Give me a break.. They were letting them tee off on Cutler from the very first snap….

To sum it up, the Packers exposed the Bears weakest link, and did a good job of it.. Can’t win a game if you can’t win the battle in the trenches….

There is a lot of football left to be played, and I hope the Bears can put together a better gameplan in a hurry..

You play like crap, you deserve to get called out.
My problem with this is that Brandon Marshall has dropped 2 touchdown passes this season and cutler hasn’t said anything to him. He is playing favorites and it’s always easy to throw the offensive line under the bus.
___________________________
Honestly, I think I’d rather make Webb mad than Marshall. Cutler shoved Webb after cussing him, and Webb just turned away. OTOH look at what Marshall has done when he’s mad.

I think Schlereth had it right this am on Mike & Mike: cussing me out for messing up on the field, no problem. When you lay your hands on me? I have a problem.

The thing about Cutler is that with all his talent, he doesn’t make his team or teammates better. Elite (and some not even elite) QBs do that. He’s also always been a huge front runner. For whatever reason, once adversity hits, he starts forcing balls and acting a fool. It’s not something that will change, and it’s one reason why despite his large amount of natural talent, he doesn’t really make his team better.

As to Webb letting him get smoked by a rushing defender, then saying ‘That’s what you get for calling me out!’ – What has his excuse been all the other times?

It would be sweet for his O-line on one play to just let all the defenders pass by untouched and tee off on the jerk!
_______________

It looked like the O-line let all the defenders pass by untouched on just about every play, or do you mean on one play other than the 19 snaps he was either hit or sacked?

If he can’t get rid of the ball after 3 seconds in the pocket he needs to learn to scramble. Several times last night he held the ball way longer than he should have – that’s on him – not the o-line. I’m not a fan of either team and couldn’t beleive how much time he had to throw and instead took a sack. Ever heard of a quick slant or a screen pass Jay?

I think that no matter what team you root for every other week, Bears V Packers are two of the most looked forward to games of each season. There is definitely no love lost between these teams.

Hey Mike Tice, How about a roll out away from Clay Matthews’ side, or a pass out in the flat to his side after the back chips him on the edge? Maybe a draw play? End around to D Hester? Something!

Not a Cutler fan, but it seems like a leader should be saying something to his teammates if they’re not doing their jobs.

Several of you have written that Cutler shouldn’t say/do anything that might offend his offensive O-Line, or they might just let him get flattened. Umm….that’s already happening! 7 Sacks in 1 game is ridiculous. I am NOT a Jay Cutler fan, but he SHOULD be pissed off that his line can’t protect him. Any of the elite QB’s would have ripped into their offensive line after a game like this, and nobody would have a problem with it.
Oh, and for those of you calling him a crybaby…I DARE you to get flattened 7 times by an NFL linebacker. You’d be curled up in a ball crying for your mommy by the 3rd sack. Cutler is an a-hole, but no one should question his toughness.

What all the Cutler defenders seem to forget is that HE is responsible for some of the sacks he takes because he holds onto the ball too long. It’s all part of a pattern with him: blaming others instead of looking to his own behavior as a reason for losing.

A couple guys had it right. It’s not only fair, but EXPECTED that a QB or MLB gets into the face of a guy that makes mental mistakes – as Rodgers did with Jones last night.

But you don’t go public with it. “Next question” is an acceptable response if a reporter asks what was said.

Cutler knows that he won’t make it through the season if this keeps happening. Nobody in that organization has yet to notice that there is a problem, so maybe he should throw a tantrum. Nothing else seems to work.

They also caught Cutler kicking (okay, it was a hard nudge with his foot) Charles Woodson. Who wants to bet there will be no mention of it?

I don’t mind him ripping the guys when they are not doing their jobs. He was taking a beating just like he did in that NYG game. It was the petulant attitude that he had that was the problem. If you are gonna be a team leader, and I think he needs to be, you need to deliver the message, and then help them turn it around. Remaining petulant after delivering the message accomplishs nothing…..except Cutler was never in the right frame of mind because now, no one is going to satisfy his attitude. And that same attitude continued on through his interview. Maybe he should have kept his mouth shut before the game.

Cutler was 100% right. The O- line was bad. But he was holding the ball too. Lovie is the one I blame because he has been handed real fire power on offense an he dont know how to use it

Last night I saw the same guy that we had in the Mile High City. When the going gets tough for him, he does his best to destroy years worth of chemistry within a team; One Way Jay! It is almost as if, despite his Vandy education, the guy lacks the common sense to battle through the tough times with, not against his mates. Good luck Chicago turning One Way Jay around because once he rears his ugly, half helmet wearing face, it just gets worse!

Trash Cutler all you want, but didn’t he nationally endorse his offensive line this week? The Medai has been tearing the Bears O-line apart for the past 2 seasons, so it could have been very easy for Jay to say “Yea, they suck, and I’m going to get killed.”, but he didn’t. As a player, if I get that type of endorsement, ecspecially from my QB after hearing all the criticism, I want to go out and prove him right and the media wrong, and if I get beat, I take responsibility. Cutler came off, lit Webb up, but Webb didn’t seem to mind, laughing it off (It’s on Camera). Cutler has done nothing but come out and do his job, even with the lack of attention given to an extremly weak offensive line. I’d still take him over 10-12 QB’s in this leauge, and on that team, he can lead them to a Superbowl berth, but he needs to be upright to do so. Many people forget, Cutler isn’t new to the whole “No-protection”, his mechanics are terrible at times and he relies on his athletcism because he was under siege his whole career at Vandy. He is obvioulsy doing something right, he has led his team to the NFCC game once, and had another shot at the playoffs before getting hurt last season. He’s going to catch flak for the way he responded, but there has to be a point where the Bears realize they are throwing him to the wolves every game, and they won’t be succesful until they remedy that.

Cutler has a point. The O-Line has been horrific since Jay’s arrival. J-Webb is the worst left tackle in the league. Chris Williams isn’t any better. Chicago fix the line Tice has done all he can with this group.

I’ll admit Cutler is a D-bag but wasn’t the gripe about him that he never showed he cared on the field and never showed emotion? Shouldn’t he get credit when credit is due?

Ironic… first, all we heard was how soft Cutler was and how he wasn’t in to his team a few years back when he didn’t play the second half of a playoff game when he was injured… now, he’s putting a foot in the a$$ of his linemen for NOT doing their job, and is being a leader, and there are people dogging him for it… make up your mind. you cannot have it both ways.

Cutler has a point. The O-Line has been horrific since Jay came to Chicago. J-Webb is one of the bottom 3 left tackles in the league. Chris Williams is right there with him. Chicago fix the O-Line. Tice has done all he can do with this group.

So let me get this straight.

If a QB sulks they are a bad QB and show no leadership.

If a QB gets fired up and shouts at the O Line for playing like dog crap, they are a bad QB and show no leadership.

If they say nothing, they’re a bad QB and show no leadership.

So….

What’s he supposed to do? He was getting killed out there and the O Line was playing like dog poo?

Oh, give me a break, nice hatchet job on Cutler. If it was a one of the pets of the media, Cutler would be referred to as “showing leadership” or “Fiery” or”gritty” or “determined”.

Get away from me. Matthews played like a man among boys against their sorry line and Cutler was getting beaten like a pulp. 7 sacks? Really? And you wonder why Cutler called them out? Of course he threw 4 interceptions. The man was in a human meat grinder.

If other certain QB’s get on their guys, a different story would be told.

right because it is so easy to complete passes running for your life or on your back. I do not understand why you would give him grief for doing the obvious. the bears have high expectations this year and will not meet them if Cutler has no time to throw. you would be killing him for his lack of passion if he had not said anything while taking yet another beating. he has a right to be upset after not having anything to work with on offense besides forte his first 3 years ,and now that he does he has no time throw. but he is suppose to take a oh golly we will get better approach?
