So we agree he wasn't a leader nor winner. Throwing the ball? In critical situations, he'd "throw the ball" to the other team. Jim McMahon was head & shoulders above jay.
Jay Cutler had no redeeming qualities as an NFL QB. Didn't have the stats. Didn't have the wins. Didn't have the leadership, the likability, the smarts, the composure, the anything. Forget critical situations, Cutler was never a guy who over the course of a season looked like he was even an average QB at throwing the ball. When you are constantly as off target as reckless as he was, you're not a good passer.
He did look better when the Bears gave him #1 type WRs and a good pass catching TE to go with his good pass catching RB. But you still saw the same mistakes and the same IDGAFuckery. They would go down 7-10 points in the first qtr and Jay gave up trying to win. But at least Jay got a shot, over and over and over again.
Cutler gagged away a shot at the playoffs with a talented Den team and then followed it up with just a complete mediocre at the very best Bears career. But at least Cutler was given the opportunities and the Bears finally gave him players to throw to. and we found out exactly who Cutler was. Nobody.
Cutler as an NFL QB was worse than Bears fans will ever admit because he just so happened to last long enough to be their tallest midget. Give me the unknown of any bad young QB over that loser stepping foot onto Soldier Field ever again. Cutler had all of the risk of Favre without any of the reward.
