It upsets me that the media has been calling Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler a huge disappointment. Someone on the radio today said that before the season started, 19 touchdowns and 22 interceptions were not the stats people in Chicago were expecting. Is he right? Of course he is. When I found out the Bears got Cutler, I was excited. I absolutely expected Cutler to have a better year than the year he is having right now. That said, I am not surprised that Cutler's numbers are bad. Jay Cutler has a mediocre offensive line blocking for him giving him very little time to get his feet set. When he does have time, his receivers either can't get open or they run the wrong route. Wide receiver Johnny Knox has been impressive but only when Cutler has time and when Knox is running past the defenders. Other than that, Knox isn't really that great. He just happens to be so fast that he can get open by simply being faster than everyone else. Take away his speed and he may not be on the Bears roster right now.
It's not just the wide receivers or the offensive line. It's the running game too. Bears running back Matt Forte has been disappointing. In his defense, a lot of that is because of the fact the offensive line isn't blocking for him but not being able to run the ball has hurt Jay Cutler. Teams are expecting the pass. Cutler can't do short and safe passes because most of the time the Bears defense has allowed so many points that the Bears need to score points and to score points you need to gain a lot of yards. So instead of attempting safe passes, Cutler has to throw down the field and make some risky passes and by the way, the defense is expecting the pass because the Bears can't run the ball. Cutler has thrown more passes than any quarterback in the NFC. It's not a big surprise that Cutler is throwing a lot of interceptions. Why isn't Brett Favre throwing more interceptions? He is known for throwing a lot of interceptions. Well let's see: he has a great running back, a fantastic offensive line, wide receivers that are talented, and a defense that plays really good. Basically Favre has everything Cutler doesn't have hence why Favre has thrown only six interceptions so far.
Most people in the media know all of about the lack of talent around Cutler and still say a lot of the blame goes on Cutler. I don't blame Cutler at all. He has poor talent around him and his yards thrown this year is among the top in Bears' history. Everyone saw what Cutler did in Denver with a good offensive line and good wide receivers. If the Bears can get their team to look similar to the team Cutler had in Denver, Cutler will look like the pro bowl quarterback he is.
