Yeah, the good old days. Axing wastes of space, not engaging debates that aren't worth the time or effort, challenging people to fist-fights over stuff on the internet. sigh

I enjoyed seeing the real Jay Cutler play a great game against the NFL's best defense today.

Hes making the Bears WRs look like studs. Mean while the Bronco WRs are getting dropped or Benched across FF leagues

But I swear I was told that Cutler was useless without Marshall and Royal and Shanahan.....I guess they were just bitter fans who do not realize what they just gave up, a top 5 Qb in this league for a bunch of draft picks that youhave to hop will be worth anything.
No doubt. He's getting hit and pressured way too much. Through 3 weeks it sure looks like we need OL a lot more than we need WR's. Cutler can probably make some misc dudes look good like many of the other top QB's, we need to protect him though.

Another stellar performance by Cutler, and another late 4th quarter comeback. 
5/5 for 60 yards and a TD in 4th quarter today.9/10 for 92 and a TD tying + FG winning drive in 4th last week.It must be an imposter, because rumor around these parts is the real Jay Cutler can't play in the 4th quarter with the game on the line.Another stellar performance by Cutler, and another late 4th quarter comeback.

Here it is. This is the article I knew would come: Again, just like in Denver, it's the Wide Receivers making Jay look good.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...,6808002.column
It's always these world beaters he's playing with. Somehow they're just always around.
Two 22 year olds who had never caught an NFL pass before this season and a converted kick returner who had less than 1000 CAREER receiving yards heading into this season.
It's the three wide receivers every NFL quarterback dreams about.
This is a VERY young Chicago offense. Look at the ages of these skill position guys.

The confidence I have when this guy has the ball in his hands is just thru the roofWow, the journalist who wrote that article is a pretty big d-bag. I thought Cutler would be more prolific this year, put up huge numbers all the time, and I was wrong, but he is winning games for the Bears and he deserves alot of credit. I also saw this comment in the article from Hester:
Hester thinks he is now Randy Moss I guess. Reading through Hester's comments made him really come off as a non-team player, like he thinks he is the man and the reason why anyone is doing anything on this team... sad, lack of teamwork is a sure way to kill a team

Three turnovers today, I'm just saying. 
That doesn't read like that at all to me. Getting double teamed so other guys could step up to make plays sounds selfish to you?
2. And the int was tipped at the line.Three turnovers today, I'm just saying.
I didn't post all his comments, reading all the quotes from the whole article is what makes me feel Hester is high on himself. I selected the quote I posted because he compares himself to Randy Moss.

Just because he compared himself to Randy Moss doesn't mean he thinks he is as good as him. It goes without saying that if a team has a WR who is far better than the others, he is gonna get double-teamed. It happens to Moss, and, yes, it happens to Hester. So his comparison was valid.
As for Cutler, the Bears WRs are outperforming the Denver WRs right now, which says a lot about how good Jay Cutler is.

Rumors from people who have no idea what they're talking about. Just last year, Cutler had a 4th quarter game-tying TD (onto which he tacked a game-winning 2 point conversion) against San Diego, a 4th quarter game-winning TD against Cleveland, a 4th quarter game-winning TD against Atlanta, and a 4th quarter game-winning TD against Kansas City. He also led a game-tying FG drive against Buffalo that his defense couldn't make stick. In addition, he led 3 game-winning FG drives in regulation 2007, as well as a game-tying FG drive that led to a fourth game-winning FG drive in overtime. Out of Denver's 15 wins the last two years, 8 have featured Jay Cutler game-winning drives (and one of them featured two such drives).Edit: count the two Chicago drives and Jay Cutler has now engineered 4th quarter game-winning drives in 10 of his last 17 victories.

I think the part that comes off a little poorly is where he seems to be pestering Cutler for the ball all day long and suggesting he's open on every play. Whatever though, he'll get his fair share as the season rolls along.

I don't know about the second part but I'm digging Cutler right now. After the Week 1 fiasco (which a lot of the blame should be put on his WRs) he's done what we wanted him to do. Win.

Actually, both sides should be pretty happy right now. Bears fans now have a franchise QB who, after a rough first half vs. the Packers, has played terrific and is making his detractors look wrong.Broncos fans are seeing their team win games while having a defense that is playing well. It is a win-win situation so far.
Just out of curiosity, have any of the picks acquired in the trade made significant impact on the defensive side? It seems possible the Broncos could have had a defense playing well and a franchise QB. Not saying Broncos fans should be unhappy, their team is 4-0, but that doesn't necessarily have a heck of a lot to do with the trade.Actually, both sides should be pretty happy right now.

I am trying to be neutral here, guys. Yes, as a Broncos fan, I cry at the thought of the upside this team could have, with the defense playing the way it is, and if Cutler were still there, but it ain't gonna happen. All I am saying is that both sides should be happy with their teams right now.

I enjoyed seeing Cutler dominate today. He didn't look like a "baby" when he was helicoptering through the air today.
eepeespants: CUTLER BABY! This is what I had envisioned when I first heard of the trade, and it's already happening.

....Uh yeah, Cutler has been redeemed in the eyes of may, but would it have killed him to pass for another measly 9 yards?
Or in the 4th quarter when the team is up 41-24 with 5 minutes to go and he's running downfield to block on a running play. It was a weak block and he pretty much whiffed, but he was running down there throwing his body around trying to help create something.I enjoyed seeing Cutler dominate today.

Haters. Give the guy half a season to settle in. Geez.
How good would the Broncos be if they hadn't had this fiasco with Cutler and had to trade him? Pretty damn good I bet.
I agree. They needed help on defense. Why didn't they tell Skelator he had to hire Nolan?

I don't know about the picks that Denver got but I do know the 5th round pick that the Bears got turned in to Johnny Knox. That is pretty good. Actually I think the Bears moved up in the 5th round.Just out of curiosity, have any of the picks acquired in the trade made significant impact on the defensive side?

I really enjoy seeing Cutler be the best visiting QB EVER to QWest field (his 126 QB rating was the best ever by a visiting QB....no small feat given how difficult that stadium is to play in).
I really enjoy seeing Cutler be the first Bears QB to have a 100+ QB rating in 3 consecutive games. Take away one bad half of football against the fudgepackers and Cutler is pretty much flawless here. And this is despite having no real WR experience on the roster. If you ever gave Cutler Harrison and/or Wayne or if you ever gave him Moss and/or Welker or if you ever gave him Boldin and/or Fitzgerald imagine the impact.....

Honestly, I think having unproven WRs has helped Cutler this year. With Marshall and Royal, it was almost like Cutler not only had so much confidence in his arm, but in his receivers, so he felt like he could force the ball at times, and that resulted in INTs. Now, he knows he has to be a bit more careful with the ball, and that is resulting in a lot less turnovers (only 2 INTs in the last 3 1/2 games since that terrible first half against GB). Not having any stellar WRs seems to be making him a better all-around QB.
