Jay Cutler Takes a Beating, Does a Little Trash Talking with Rob Ryan
Cutler spent a better part of his day Sunday praying for improvements on the offensive line.
Jay Cutler got his butt whupped all day long on Sunday. It certainly won’t feel like a victory Monday to Cutler, who was sacked 4 times and knocked down another 7 times. The Bears had better do something to protect the franchise quarterback they’ve sought all these years or he may not last the season.
Rob Ryan and the Browns defense brought all kinds of pressure on Cutler and the Bears, but the offensive line needs to find a way to get it done. Either that or I suggest they start trotting out a stuntman with a #6 jersey. Moon Mullin called Cutler a pinata and it certainly seemed like the Brows were lining up with sticks to take shots at the Bears QB. They should know better; there’s no candy coming out of Cutler.
Speaking of Rob Ryan, he and Cutler did a little trash talking throughout the second half. Maybe Cutler thought he could distract Ryan with a little talking. Cutler knows Ryan from their days as division foes in the AFC West when Ryan was with the Raiders and Cutler was with the Broncos. Ryan’s “FUCK YOU” came across loud and clear to even the worst lip-readers on Sunday.
JC brushed it off after the game, saying the he and Ryan were old buds and he had the utmost respect for him. This from Jeff Dickerson’s post on ESPN Chicago:
“I love Rob Ryan,” Cutler said. “I think that he has always liked and respected me. I think he’s a great coach, and you can just hear the energy he brings on the sidelines for those guys. I’ve always enjoyed playing and competing against him. I think he’s one of the best in football. I’ve always enjoyed going against the guy.”
It didn’t appear contentious as the two exchanged some final thoughts after the game. Give Jay all the credit in the world. The guy spent the day getting his ass kicked, but he got up each and every time and even found time to talk a little trash. I wonder if his tongue will be sore tomorrow from the shot he took under the chin strap or just tired from the talking.
JC and the Bears offense had better put their money where their mouths are next week. They’ll need to do a lot better to shut the Arizona Cardinals up.
Great caption under the Cutler praying picture and good idea to get a stunt double.

November 2nd, 2009 at 1:48 pm[...] Jay Cutler on the other hand, embodies the “gun-slinger” image of the sure-handed QB and… With a 86.0 career QB rating and a lifetime 62.7% pass percentage, Cutler shows promise in the face of criticism that he hasn’t fully matured mentally in the aspect of the game. Blessed with a strong arm (Coaches and NFL Scouts salivate here), and all the physical tools needed of a QB, what Cutler lacks in supporting cast (an average set of receivers), and a team system to fit his style (a run-first offense), it’s almost like shoving a square peg into a round hole. Two of the last three seasons in Denver, Cutler has had a 20:14, and 25:18 TD to INT ratio which suggests that he is capable of spectacular passing clinics on opposing teams (evident by the 20+ TD stats), as well as the risk-reward heavy on the risk mistakes that could mean the difference between a close win and a close loss (evident by the 14 and 18 INTs). The advantage with the gun-slinger is that he could single handedly bring a team from behind, or in a back and forth game where his team needs a TD or FG in the last seconds for the win, he could drive the length of the field (i.e. Joe Montana, John Elway). However in a close game (most NFL games are close if you ignore this season’s many blowouts versus bad teams), one ill-advised INT at a crucial juncture could cost that team the win. As you can see the polar difference between a game-manager and a gun-slinger lies in the fact that while a gun-slinger is capable of many more possibilities on offense, his mistakes could drive a coach, GM, and fan-base crazy.
