How Much Longer is the Jay Cutler Era Going to Last?

    As a Bears fan, I get it. I do. I'm well aware of my beloved franchise's horrendous history at the quarterback position. Every time the Bears played the Packers, back in the day, they would always throw up the graphic of how many starting quarterbacks the Bears had since the Packers got Brett Favre. And if you've ever seen this list, it was the saddest collection of losers you could possibly see. Legendary names like Henry Burris, or Moses Moreno, or Peter Tom Willis, occupy places in Bears lore. We had Jim Harbaugh when he was still in his, figuring things out stage. We had Brian Griese. Brian Griese. When guys like Jonathan Quinn or Chad Hutchinson are your starters for years, I can forgive the Cutler infatuation. Jay Cutler, who we traded a heap of draft picks for, and given a ton of money to since, was supposed to change all that. He was supposed to be our first elite quarterback in decades. And we have been waiting years for that to kick in. It won't. Because I have figured out what Jay Cutler is....the most talented garbage quarterback of all time.

       There is a lot of reasons why Bears quarterback can suck. The lack of certain tools can make life hard for them. Some guys are terrible due to poor mobility and footwork, or because they can only throw to one side of the field...like this guy.

Some guys suck because they depend too much on their mobility and never develop the proper quarterback skills to thrive at the position. Like this guy.

(Kordell Stewart)

Some quarterbacks have the arm, but not the accuracy. Some have the accuracy but not the arm. Like these two guys.

(Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton...I swear if you could put them together, you'd have one good quarterback. Or the most noodle armed, inaccurate passer ever.)

Some guys just flat out sucked and didn't have the goods to begin with. Like this loser.

       But Cutler was supposed to be different. He had a rocket arm. He had the accuracy. Every year I hear an analyst tell me that Jay Cutler has all the tools to be an elite quarterback and this was going to be the year he finally puts it all together. Except it never happened. Instead I got treated to year after year of the same things: Cutler making throws off his back foot. Cutler throwing across his body to the other side of the field. Cutler throwing the ball up to a quadruple teamed Brandon Marshall.  Cutler making incredibly stupid decisions and throws which ultimately cost us the game. Cutler getting surly with the media when they ask about the blown games or terrible throws. Cutler two hand shoving his offensive lineman in the chest on national television. I've seen a whole lot of bad out of Jay Cutler and not much good. He's been to the Pro Bowl just once and that was while he was still  a Denver Bronco. He had one playoff win since he's been here. I'll say that again. He's had one playoff win since he's been here. What do we do? Give him a $100 plus million dollar extension. For what?!? Well I'm not drinking the Kool Aid anymore. He's gotta go. I know the Bears execs amd fan base probably are scared that if we get rid of him, who knows the next time we would get a halfway decent replacement. But he's still gotta go. This whole thing was a good effort by our front office to end years of qb ineptitude and finally get us a franchise signal caller. Unfortunately, it just didn't work out. Time for the next thing. Stop talking like this dude is one day going to develop into something. He's thirty one years old. Whatever he was supposed to develop into he did. He is what he is. And no amount of  hoping is going to change that. Jay Cutler isn't great. He's just the greatest garbage quarterback of all time. And nothing short of winning a Super Bowl is going to change my mind.
