My Anti-Cutler Rant

by the new Bradfather on Aug 9, 2011 11:54 PM MDT

I've been doing NFL preseason predictions alphabetically and as I reached Chicago, I realized Bears fans blocked me from WCG so I will post my anti-Cutler rhetoric here. More after the jump.

As my anthology of NFL previews ensues, today I take a gander at the Chicago Bears, and yes, I don’t respect Jay Cutler for how he handled his departure from Denver so sadly, for Bears fans, this will not be pretty.

Chicago was able to see the best of Cutler, except when it mattered most which resulted in their ignominious defeat in the NFC Championship game to the Green Bay Packers, who are not only their most bitter rival, but also a team that won the Super Bowl they could have prevented from even making the playoffs.

Yes, in case you were wondering, Cutler was not at his best in Week 17 at Lambeau Field in 2010, enabling the Packers to win a sloppy defensive struggle.

As I finished my communication undergraduate studies at Southern Utah University several years ago, I wrote my senior thesis and reiterated the universal truth that you have to be yourself to be successful.

Chicago has never been a team featuring a high-octane passing attack, not since the days of Sid Luckman at least, and to be consistently successful, the Bears have to play smashmouth defense and run the ball effectively.

Already this offseason, the Bears have been weakened as Greg Olsen and Danieal Manning have departed for Carolina and Houston, respectively and while stalwarts such as linebacker Brian Urlacher, defensive end Julius Peppers and defensive Israel Idonije return, defense is not going to be Chicago’s undoing at the end of the day.

With tailback Matt Forte currently embroiled in a contract dispute with the Bears’ owners, the McCaskey family, Chicago is short a weapon which amassed more than 1,600 yards of scrimmage last season and have done little to improve themselves offensively.

The one wild card could be former Brigham Young tailback Harvey Unga whom Chicago selected in last year’s supplemental draft but he is far from a sure thing at this stage.

In short, if the Bears are to be successful for the time being, they need Cutler to perform and since this belies Chicago’s proud football heritage and since Cutler remains petulant in many ways, do not be surprised to see Chicago plummet to the bottom of the NFC North, especially with Green Bay and Detroit being much stronger.

Jay Cutler has an up hill battle and it won't be easy.

This year will tell the tail on Cutler and we’ll see if my predictions from ’09 come true.

Cutler blew the NFC Championship game at home and then blew it with his smoking hot fiancee.

Not his best off-season.

Is he still fat?

Cutler is screwed

Da Bears have a horrible offense and their FO thinks it’s a good idea to surround arguably the most gifted QB in the league with a weak O-line and the worst WR corps in the league. Not to mention the Martz system will have Cutler sacked another 50+ times in 2011 and the NFC North is now one of the tougher divisions in the leage.

It’s a shame because Cutler has a lot of talent and could have been great but will instead have his body broken in the next couple of years.

Don't forget losing Olin Kruetz

Probably the only other player than the QB who touches the ball on every offensive play. Kreutz was undoubtedly their only ‘rock’ on the OL the last decade or so and I think losing him will be a real blow to an already shaky OL. Lastly, Kreutz was probably not only a leader but THE leader in that clubhouse. I think losing him will hit them as hard as our losing Al Wilson on defense a few years ago.

I thought about that JUST

as I published the original on midutahradio.com, my Web site, but oh well, I prophesied enough doom and gloom. Good thing for Chicago fans the Blackhawks will probably be good again, unless the Avs crush them

With Coach Zorro on our side, we will slice opponents to ribbons. Tim Tebow gives me hope and I already have faith and charity in my heart! I see a propitious future rife with Lombardis for our Broncos!

lollll

if you watched bears games the past couple of years you would likely retract some of that hooey up there. kreutz was a speedbump, not a rock. got dumped in cutlers lap quite a bit and was good for a few personal fouls/botched snaps every season as well. dunno what happened w/al wilson but there are plenty of veterans on the bears to police/annoy each other, just one less now that kreutz was finally shown the door.

Boy, I sure hope this is the mess hall....how's it goin' Eisenhower?

I still blame McD for initiating any trade rumors...

Who wouldn’t hate having a boss like McD?

All I can say is the 2nd best offense in the NFL and one of the worse defenses in the NFL, where should you concentrate most of your efforts?

McD’s answer – Tweak a little of the defense and dismantle the entire offense, because I’m a genious and I know everything and everyone else know’s nothing.

Cutler was going to be awesome. In that offense, he was going to be unstoppable, unfortunately Hillis goy hurt when everything was going right. In Chicago, he is the offense. The O-line is the worse in the NFL and the receivers aren’t far behind. Martz’s scheme is 7-10 steps and fire the ball. With that O-line, Cutler can barely reach 5 steps before he has a defender in his face. He won so many games by making things happen for such a porous offense.

I rather be in a championship game, and lose, then sitting at home twittling my thumbs and chear against Cutler.

I HATED THE MCD HIRE FROM THE START!!!

That’s why I’ve been Negative Nelly ever since.
And, yes I NEVER gave McD a chance.

He shouldnt have been such a punk about it either

and I loved watching him quit at the championship game. Loved it

The thing that gets me (well one of the things)

about these people (so called Broncos fans) Is that they all side with Josh McDaniels, they coddle, protect, forgive and excuse him. Josh McDaniels was not in the least interested in the Denver Broncos, it’s organization, it’s players, it’s fans or the Mile High city. He is a selfish, immature egomaniac.

Meanwhile, they vehemently hate Jay Cutler and he was drafted by the Denver Broncos, loved it hear, never wanted out of Denver and was very successful at a very young age while playing in Denver with arguably the best young core of offensive players in the history of the game.

That’s either blatant hypocrisy or uncontrollable stupidity.

by KoloradoKaos on Aug 10, 2011 1:58 PM MDT up reply actions

Actually I dont side with that punk either

While McD did run him out of town, Cutler acted like a little b*tch about it. And Cutler never liked the Broncos either, those colors really came out when he went to chicago. Remember “they were a 6 and you guys are a 9”? His comment about having a stronger arm than Elway rubbed me the wrong way also. He doesnt have a stronger arm and he has about 1/4 of Elways heart. Eff Quitler

Did you ever read why he answered 6 & 9?

Obviously not, because you would have understood why he answered it the way he did.

The question was, how does Denver compare to the 20,000+ fans at training camp?

Cutler’s answer, comparing the amount of people in Chicago’s traing camp to Denver is like a 6 to a 9. Chicago had 20,000+, Denver had several thousand.

I would have said Denver is like a 2 and Chicago is a 10, if you’re comparing numbers. That’s all he was doing was comparing the numbers of people at training camp.

I do NOT see a slam of Denver, he was simply comparing numbers. That was the question.

by Negative Nelly? on Aug 10, 2011 6:57 PM MDT up reply actions

I dont care about the context of the question

He still acted like a little punk when he heard the trade rumors. Watching him quit in the NFC championship was the best too. I wasn’t in the least bit surprised. You can tell me all the garbage about it was the coaches decision to bench him and yada yada yada, but Im sure it wasn’t the coach who noticed that he was hurt. He looked fine to me running up and down the field because of his 2nd rate OL, and he looked fine walking up some stairs later that night. But you can keep admiring Crybaby from afar. I’d rather stick with Orton than take that quitter back

I also have to add...

when Cutler was drafted and was leading the Broncos, he was so loved and was annointed the “franchised QB”.

How fast we turn on each other.

I'm pretty sure

Broncos fans hate McDelta Bravo and Quitler equally, that’s how I feel, screw em both

Leave it to the Bradfather

To throw in a mention of a former Cougar! Pass the green jello!!

I had high hopes for Cutler, even though the way Shanny handled the Plummer situation was pretty bad. I think a lot of Cutler’s ego stems from that incident. Even with his talent, I think he would have been better served learning some humilty on the bench!

I was a Vandy fan...

until the cry baby left Denver!

Living in Nastyville, TN (Nashville) you vote for the Vols or Vandy.

I don’t like either anymore and the Titans can move to LA as far as I’m concerned, but watching Jay make something out of nothing at Vandy, made me think that we had a good QB for years to come!

Oh well. It sure played out different then I could have even dreamed in my worst nightmares, but I am very happy for the Bears! They are now stuck with our reject. They have to go with him. Look what they gave up!

Cutler is a whiner.

Yet he is still extremely talented. This season will have a lot to do with how the rest of his career goes. I actually have a feeling he might play well this year, but I won’t be routing for him.

Timmy Tebow to the rescue! Oh wait Orton still our starter. DAMN!

by mjdbronco on Aug 11, 2011 6:56 AM MDT reply actions

Best of luck to him....

I’m over it because I’m happy he’s in Chicago (not here) and we got great value for him. Of course we turned around and practically wasted that value, but otherwise, good riddance. Lol.

I understand those who are still angry because he is a talent and I’m sure you still want him on the Broncos. Otherwise you would be at peace with it. And nobody would blame you if you do……
