I like this list. When adjusted for a few realities, this proves my point that Jay may not start for any NFL team if he were released tomorrow.
Scratch all the teams off the list that you put someone other than "Cutler" next to. Now scratch off the Chiefs (I live in KC; they're convinced here that they've found the right combo and the right QB not to screw it up). Scratch off the Skins because RG3 will still be the starter. Scratch off the Raiders because no matter what, Carr's starting Day 1 and will get at least another year or two before they give up. Scratch off the Lions---Stafford's the starter. Scratch off the Texans---They're at least going to give Mallett a shot to be the man.
You're only left with the Jets, Bills and Browns. Any one of them could very well pick up Cutler to start, as he might be their best QB. But statistically speaking, a team is less likely than so to pick up a player just because he's a free agent and is good, relatively speaking. There's team politics and cap considerations and long-term effects to consider.
Thus, I think this shows the answer to the question, "If Cutler is released tomorrow, does ANY NFL TEAM sign him to start?" cannot be "easily".

The SF game, the 2 Fuller int's putting the Bears in SF territory in the 4th helped Cutler out a lot...but they don't call him captain comeback for nothing

This guy. Cutler can't receive any credit, he can only receive the blame. A Bears win is a team win but a Bears loss is a Cutler loss.

I had to wait a day to comment so these could cool off, because the takes were just too hot yesterday.

The mantra of all Bears fans for the past 6 years. You boiled it down to one sentence perfectly.

So you don't want to give Fuller credit for interceptions in in consecutive series to put the Bears in SF territory to help them get the win? Wouldn't you say that had a lot to do with the bears overcoming a 20-14 deficit at the time the first int happened?

I'm impressed with being able to pound Steel Reserve in any capacity.

Glad to know back to back interceptions had nothing to do with Cutler's one and only "comeback" last year...just like you and other like to say a bunch of us only credit Cutler for losses and credit teams for wins. The rest of you seem to only want to credit Cutler for the wins and overlook the losses

again, nope. No one has ever stated that. Only you.
The team lost as a team and the team won as a team. individuals made plays to contribute to the wins and individuals sucked to contribute to the losses.

Maybe I read that wrong, but labeling a player Captain Comeback seems to me like they are attributing the comeback to the player given that name

Ha it was a Robbie Gould game winning field goal set up by a Rashied Davis seam route that Rexy put on the money. I have been to the last 4 Bears playoff games holla.
