There are similarities in Cutler in McMahon in that expectations were higher than what they produced.
McMahon actually won something and was considered a bit more of a leader on the team.
IMO....jay was no where near McMahon in terms of smarts, leadership and ability to consistently put us in a position to win games. The problem with McMahon was injuries. The 85th ranking for jay was generous IMO.

Side note on McMahon :
Some ppl. didn't like him. Some ppl. here still don't like him.
When we drafted him I was very skeptical.
However, during a local TV interview he relayed a earlier conversation he had with Mike McCaskey.
When drafted, McMahon said McCaskey basically told him ALL we expect of you is to just help us be COMPETITIVE. To that, McMahon said he told him,
'be competitive.....why not win it ALL' (meaning SB). I'll never forget it.
From that day on I totally respected McMahon and he's desire to win. And I started to totally disrespect
the loser attitude McCaskey represented as part of Bear ownership.
