Yes. Right after the Rose Bowl, Chris Simms FWIW was on saying he'd take Cutler over Leinart. He's a very good QB that didn't the exposure playing for what's traditionally been a weak team.J

Mike Mayock of the NFL Network said on the Senoir Bowl Practice show that he ranks Cutler ahead of Leihnart and Young. He states that all three are franchise-type qb's so that leads me to believe he thinks he is a top 5 pick at least.

He'll be in a great one. He won't even have to move.

With Fisher and the rest of the TEN coaching staff coaching Culter's team in the Senior Bowl, it seems very likely, assuming he continues to impress.Oh, he'll move out of the dorm. And into a nice home in Brentwood or Franklin like most of the other Titans. He just might not have to change cities which is your point, I'm sure.....He'll be in a great one. He won't even have to move.

I agree that to some extent Cutler pressed too much and made a couple of bad decisions this year. I'd guess, though, that will improve a lot when whether the team wins or loses depends solely on whether he can almost single handedly beat the other team.Die-Hard Vols Fan...would have hard time accepting Cutler as a Franchise qb...His decision making seems to be lacking...but he has the skill set...arm, sturdy,good height,....decision makingWith Fisher and the rest of the TEN coaching staff coaching Culter's team in the Senior Bowl, it seems very likely, assuming he continues to impress.Oh, he'll move out of the dorm.

I'm going to preface this post by saying I've never seen Cutler play...
Isn't this very possibly yet another case of a guy flying up the draft charts who is going to fail as he's flying up, not because of how he actually played during his college career, but from various all-star games and/or the Combine?
Will people never learn?

As a Vandy grad and a guy who has followed Cutler since his original recruitment, I believe he will make a fine NFL QB. Not only does he have the size, and good arm strength, more importantly he has intangibles. He can take pressure, big hits, and he really has an outstanding knack for making plays when the pressure is on. Check out the Florida game this year, or as my the Vols frineds can attest to last November, Culters 2 minute drill to win the game at UT. Which ever team is lucky enough to land him they will be happy.

Considering hes only had one day of mediocre senior bowl practice and that people were talking about him moving into the top 10 of the draft before this week, Ill say no.

I came back to UT to watch the UT/Vandy game this year.You cant really question his decision making right? Hes about the only player on the Vandy roster who could have started for UT, and yet he pretty much single-handedly beat the Vols.Die-Hard Vols Fan...would have hard time accepting Cutler as a Franchise qb...His decision making seems to be lacking...but he has the skill set...arm, sturdy,good height,....decision makingWith Fisher and the rest of the TEN coaching staff coaching Culter's team in the Senior Bowl, it seems very likely, assuming he continues to impress.Oh, he'll move out of the dorm.

No, Cutler has been touted a lot during the season. You must mean "a guy I haven't heard about until now". In which case, I'll direct you towards Ben Roethlisberger, Byron Leftwich, and a couple other QBs who didn't attend big time programs, so didn't get the media attention they deserved.
Diesel I agree. I live in K-town and I don't know what people are talking about. Cutler single-handedly willed Vandy to wins this season. If anyone hasn't seen this guy they'll know about him soon enough. SOD, IMO, before all this hype, but now he's getting recognized for the QB he is. He'll be the QB that people are talking about for years to come from this draft class not Young and Leinhart or whoever else.I came back to UT to watch the UT/Vandy game this year.You cant really question his decision making right?

Probably SEA/PITT/CAR.
Teams that are not anywhere near the top of the draft and don't need QB's. Cutler will not be drafted before Leinart unless Matt's arm falls off at the combine. This just smells of an agent hyping his guy early to get some momentum for the draft.

Harrington had a whole national media campaign for the Heisman directed around him...The Oregon Duck you are looking for is Akili Smith.

I said in the Senior Bowl thread the hype smelled fishy, well, Cutler's reviews are very mixed right now. He looked good yesterday in comparison to QBs who just looked bad. Today he looked okay, but no better than Charlie Whitehurst, according to Draft Countdown. Of a half dozen different practice reports, I've read everything from him looking very good to him looking awful. It sounds like he's trying too hard to play to his advantage-- he has easily the strongest arm there but by trying to show it off, he's making bad throws. I don't get the feeling his stock is on the rise. It was soundly in the mid-first round, and I think it could slip very easily this week if he continues without improvement.

For the past couple of years I've heard this comparision to Favre and I got to tell you I'm sick of it. First was Grossman, than Ramsey, then Losman. I'm sick of it. there is only one BRETT FAVRE. Please stop the comparisions. This kid might be good but to say he's LIKE FAVRE.... I think not. I'll still stick with Leinart being the best QB out of this class. I don't understand how last year all the experts were touting him as a no doubt #1 pick overall. He goes back to school, has a great year and wins alot of games. He gets his team back to the championship game has a good game (great in the second half) and all of a sudden his stock drops. Can someone explain this to me.

Akili Smith had one great season and came out of nowhere. Cutler, like Rivers, has been good his entire college career but didn't get noticed since he didn't play for a big-time football program.Jay Cutler stats and bio

I guess my point was last year the experts were saying he was a franchise qb and a can't miss project. Now don't get me wrong I love Vince Young but I have ?'s about his pro career. I haven't really seen enough of Cutler to make a fair judgement and what I have seen out of Jacobs makes me want to like him. All I know is before the super performance by Vince he was MAYBE a first rounder per Kiper and Mortenson. Mortenson even the day after the Rosebowl (on the Dan Patrick show) still doesn't think he's a top ten pick. Leinart in my opinion has the tools and the experience of running a NFL caliber offense. Again, I love Vince but I don't think the shotgun hand off and fakes are going to work in the NFL.
And he missed the three pete, by 10 inches

Are you really telling me the history of Jay Cutler? Where did you see me comparing him to Akili Smith?

Smoke Screen!! Teams often do this in hopes of getting players they truely want to drop in the draft.

NFL Draft Scout says Cutler has been the story through the first two days of practice..."Seemed more comfortable today" [1/24]"Placing the ball more accurately""Jaw-dropping zip""If he continues on this pace...will be vying for top 10 pick status AND may be higher than Leinart on some boards"

You're absolutely right. I'd prefer a QB who played in a tough conference and demonstrated the ability to take a team on his shoulders and win against good competition. Oh, and I'd like him to be smart, somwhere around 6-3 to 6-4, 220+ pounds...
The only knock on the kid is he didn't get the same level of coaching as Leinart or Young.

My friend who is there claims Cutler looks like the only QB capable of playing successfully in the NFL. I told him there's reports here and there that he's been inaccurate and not looking THAT good. It's just that the other QBs have been really bad. I directed him to comments at GBN and NFLDC (both sites thought Whitehurst looked as good or better today), and he laughed. "Whitehurst threw two beautiful interceptions and three more ugly balls that should have been intercepted. They don't know what they're talking about. Cutler is solid, has a huge arm, puts the ball on the money, makes great reads yada yada. The rest of the QBs look lost in comparison."

Hey Chaos,I think the Pro-Cutler outlook is the more accurate one. I don't know the guys at NFLDC that well, but I can say emphatically that GBN has unfortunately taken a turn for the worse since the untimely passing of Frank.My friend who is there claims Cutler looks like the only QB capable of playing successfully in the NFL.

For what it's worth NFL Draft Scout said Cutler looked erratic at times in the first day of practice, and it appeared to be nerves...but he was head and tail above all the other QBs that day. And the quotes I mentioned in my previous post were from the 2nd day, where it appears Cutler started to settle in and show himself to be closer to Young and Leinart than the rest of the pack.
My issue right now is that guys like Chris Mortensen and Ron Jaworski really ARE NOT draft guys. They say things like, "Cutler is higher on some boards than Leinart" based on unfounded opinion and "heard in the hallways" stuff. Honestly. At this point, with Leinert yet to work out, Young yet to work out, and Cutler really an unknown to a lot of folks, I guarantee that most NFL teams DON'T EVEN HAVE A BOARD yet much less would they be able to say Cutler is higher than the other 1st round guys.
