I think he can be a top 5 QB in this league if the necessary adjustments are made to the offensive line. You’re right Roy, but I think he needs a solid LT to take that next step.

Cutler really needs to soften the rough edges of his game if he's going to take the next step though. “I’ve seen too many Jonathan Quinns, Craig Krenzels and Chad Hutchinsons in my lifetime.” -Couldn’t have said that better myself.

Let's not forget it took a change in general managers to bring someone like Brandon Marshall here in the first place. I certainly don't blame #6 for being upset, the guy hasn't had an offensive line for 4 years now. Smith and Emery continued to tell us all offseason how it wasn't a problem. It needs to be upgraded severely in the next draft for this offense to have any kind of sustainable success from week to week.

He has always come off to me as a big weiny...I personally think his backup quarterback is better for the team. He gives the impression that the game is all about him and HELLO it's a whole team effort to win! I’ve loved the Bears my whole life…I’ve never been impressed with Cutler.

I could care less about his personality as long as he shows up on game day. I don't doubt that he cares very much about winning. I just don't care about his body language, or where he stands on the sidelines, or what his interaction is with his teammates. That's 5% of the story. I just wish these talking heads and writers would let it go, it's extremely annoying. Wishful thinking I know. JDM: I’m with you buddy.

And you know what, I don't even care if Rodgers yelled at James Jones. Cause, well, Jones screwed up on the play, and it's not the first or last time Jones will make a mistake. People simply don't like Cutler. So, any time he has a bad game, they are going to get on him. It's just how it is. As for the night game comments, there was a time where Cutler didn't have great performances on road night games. But, he played very well at MIN in 2010, at DET in 2011, and at PHILY in 2011. However, his performances against GB is a different story. Brad, thanks for the heads up. And you know what, I don’t even care if Rodgers yelled at James Jones.

In my oponion, profootballtalk, has since Thursday, engineered a smearing campaign on Cutler, inciting more to join them (Ogunleye fx) with no real grounds. I do not believe Cutler is losing the locker room. Cutler was shown with his arm around Webb, later in the game after the bump/yell incident, but no one is talking about this. Cutler has problems with pressure, and we might not win the SB this year, but im certain Cutler/Emery will The article you link from Profootballtalk.com is completely without sources.

So at least he is taking some heat as well. I think the whole thing is BS. I've seen Brady and Roethlisberger do the same thing and nary a word was mentioned. That being said, here's my take: I don't care what these guys do or say to each other on or off the field. I'm sick of the NFL being turned into a reality show. You see it on everyone of these football "commentary" shows. They're a bunch of gossipy 13 year old girls. It's the same reason that I don't watch the news anymore. None of it is fact, it's speculation. They never had a reliable "source" that told them Jay was in danger of losing the locker room. If I was Cutler and spent the majority of the last 4 years on my ass, not only would I have yelled and bumped him, I would have stuck the Gatorade cooler over his head. Webb has NO business in the NFL. The guy is bats**t crazy, he believes he's an all-star when in fact he isn't fit to be a starter. Jay isn't perfect and will start making mistakes when he gets rattled. For some reason he can't seem to play at night either. But if he had a decent line, I'm fairly confident that he'd be more than capable of playing great football. I put this entire issue at the feet of the front office and coaching staff trying to make us believe they have the right people on that line. Put Cutler behind Tait, Brown, Kruetz, Garza and Miller and he's a pro-bowler again. JDM: Terry Bradshaw called Rodgers out yesterday on FOX. So at least he is taking some heat as well.

I will be the first to tell you that. He has made lots of plays since he's been the QB, but he also has made some bad plays. His biggest problem, other than playing through some rough spots, is that he simply doesn't throw the ball away enough. If the play is not there, just throw it away and play for another down. He either forces it or hold the ball too long. But, it's also not a concidence he's been at his very best when the Bears have proper blocking and running a balanced attack. There wasn't much of a gameplan due to the short week, and it showed. We've seen this the past two seasons. Once everytyhing got together, Cutler and the offense was on fire. Let's see if they can do it again. As for him being unlikeable, well, I really don't care about that. Not so much you, but there were plenty of fans on Urlacher's case for not having the best personality in the past. Well, I found that to be stupid because Urlacher has always given his all and his attitude towards football has always been top notch. There are many people in the media that simply don't like Cutler. A lot of it has to do is that he doesn't give many exclusive interviews, and he is simply not a camera whore. He doesn't have any endorsements, and he didn't even want news reporters around when he was doing charity work. So, when he has a bad game, they are going to be all over him. Perhaps touching Webb went too far, but every QB yells at their teammates. Hell, Aaron Rodgers threw a fit in Thursday's game, despite being up by 20 points. Why is he getting a pass?
