though the writer admits he hasnt seen it this year!

But that was from last year with the diabetes.

likes the same thing I like about Eli, which is his ball-handling skills. He is excellent at selling a play-action fake, really nearing the level of his brother or Boomer Esiason, who are the two best I’ve ever seen. He’s still not very accurate in his throws, but even that is improved.

I think there’s something cockamamie about Romo, but I’ve mentioned that on here before. My order would be Cutler, Roethlisberger, Eli, Rodgers, Rivers, Romo, and then on the second-tier guys like Trent Edwards or Matt Leinart (who I still think can play.)

1. Cutler
2. Romo
3. Big Ben
4. Manning
5. Brees

in these young QB comparisons. He is like the kid that got held back three grades…

Cutler didn’t have the pressure that Elway did when John came out. Regarded as the best QB in over a decade, the pressure on John was tremendous. Winning vs not losing was a issue that Elway had to deal with for years. As far as a weakness, I would say that Elway tried to force things a little to much in his first few years. He would take off and run a lot quicker and thus not see the field as well if he had more patience. So I guess that if Elway had a weakness it would be “being overly competative”. I would say that Cutler has shown more patience in his first two years than what Elway did.

I would have to say (IMO), there are probably some old plays in Shanny’s book for Elway, that shouldnt even be considered for Cutler. I know that Cutler has a strong arm, but not as strong as Elway at that age. Not yet anyway.

Check out Elway’s career completion percentage, which I believe is in the high 50s. It’s difficult to judge, though, because he didn’t have a great supporting cast, meaning receivers who could get separation, linemen who could give him time to make his reads, and a running game. When Shanahan gave him those things late in his career he won two Super Bowls. Before Shanahan his greatest attribute, maybe even more important than his cannon, was his ability to escape the rush (since his line couldn’t protect him).

I think if you make this list in two years, Cutler will be far and away the best on this list, and maybe even best in the league.

I loved that “Strengths” segment. Cutler, Cutler, Cutler! However, I hope he doesn’t end up like Brett Favre, getting an ungodly amount of attention. That’s really the only bad thing I can say about our team right now… If we keep this up, in five years we’ll be the Patriots. But, like, the Patriots with Brett Favre. And then I would have to hate myself.

is a smarter qb than all those guys combined. Dont overlook that aspect of his game

I watched one “expert” break down the conversion and he focused on Clady and was enthusing about how much time Cutler had to throw. I saw the guy flashing in from Cutler’s right and thought, what he hell is he talking about? But whoever was doing the analysis in these two clips really knows his stuff. Not only is Cutler going to get better, Fast Eddie is only a rookie, for crying out loud, and B-Marsh
is already a beast. Add Scheffler and Stokley and you have the basis for a lot of defensive coordinator nightmares.
