Comments on: Jay Cutler continues to take fire

Let’s not forget that Cutler had NO DEFENSE in Denver and by the end of last season, I think the Broncos were trying to get Terrell Davis to come back to play running back. Let’s see what Jay can do when he doesn’t have to take big risks and throw on just about every play. Plus, the defense won’t have as much pressure on them as they did when they were counted on to score as well as stop the other team. It all starts when camp opens in just a couple of weeks.

Hot air? Maybe. Cute? Dunno about that either. He looks pretty dopey to me. Exciting? You bet, but maybe not they way you imagine it will be…

Everyone loves a guy that takes a lot risks and succeeds. Brett was everyone’s favorite QB when he completed spectacular pass, and the goat everytime he threw an unnecessary (read ‘avoidable’)interception. The latter seemed to happen way more often than the former.

I bet nobody will be jumping for joy when JC’s TD/Int ratio is well below 1. The good news is that he probably won’t fumble the ball from center once out every 20 snaps.

I don’t see any change in the division this year. Vikes, Pack, Bears and Lions, except the Pack may beat out the Vikes if they can’t field a better QB than last year.

Let’s let ‘em just play. I’d rather watch a quarterback take some risks and add some excitement to the games than watch run/fall down, run fall down, 3 yard curl when it is 3rd and 6. Now times are changing because Forte isn’t a run/fall down guy. So put him and a ball slinging QB together – defenses aren’t going to know what to do.

he is just too cute for me to care how many “near int” he throws

I think in 3-5 weeks, people are going to know that all this negativity is just hot air.

I agree with KC’s assessment of Cutler. He has a lot of physical talent, but his decision making is terrible. This guy consistently tries to muscle a ball into double and triple coverage, often when another less aggressive route is wide open. And while a “near int” isn’t an actual stat, anyone who watches a game will easily recognize that he is often trying to complete the most difficult pass option on the field instead of the best one. This of course is great when it works out, nerve wracking when he is nearly intercepted, and it’s shake your head in dis-belief when he completes a pass to the other team.

Cutler has demonstrated that he is arrogant and selfish on the field and does not appear to be well liked among team mates and players on the opposing team alike. Combine that with what appears to be a prima-donna attitude and he may turn out to be un-coachable to boot.

While I hope he does well, I suspect the guy will never live up to his potential.
