Jay Cutler vs Aaron Rodgers (1 Viewer)

You are starting a real NFL franchise and have to choose your QB from these two. Who do you take?

The one that reminds me less of Jeff George.

Rodgers, and it isn't even close. He has WAY more talent offensively and a MUCH easier schedule.

I'm not talking about fantasy football.

I'd take Rodgers. Talented and poised. Faced a tough challenge last year in replacing Favre and shined.

Eight months ago, I would have taken Cutler, but Rodgers now wins the character issue by far (compare how Rodgers handled the Favre fiasco last year vs. how Cutler handled the Denver fiasco), so I would take him.

Rodgers. Aaron has just as strong as arm, better awareness, better at reading coverage, and similar mobility. Week one will show you how much better Rodgers is. I am a Cutler owner in dynasty league.

Because either of those points even matter in this discussion.

I disagree that Cutler has more talent. Rodgers is by far the better QB and I don't see why there is a debate on their level of talent. The only thing I could see someone debating is arm strength, and if you think that Cutler is above and beyond in that category you evidently have not watched a lot of Rodgers.

Agree to disagree I guess. Neither is far above the other in any category on the field. I've watched a fair amount of both and have been more impressed with Cutler, but it's not by much. These two are so close that the competition will be interesting. This year Rodgers should do a lot better than Cutler, but for their careers it will be close.

I think they are fairly close with regards to their abilities on the field, probably J. Cutler has a slightly stronger arm and quicker release, so I give the nod to Cutler in the athletic skills department. However, still not sure of J. Cutler's personality and maturity level....can he become a good leader? Whereas A. Rodgers really handled the Favre situation well and seems be to more mature and a better leader...at least at this point. Therefore...I'd take A. Rodgers.

One is a whinny ##### who quit on his team and showed the lack of class to take a dump on fans who tried to support him.

The other weathered a storm not of his making, sublimated his interests to teh team's, and when given his chance shone liike the sun.

 

[Chase Stuart]

Statistically, they were dead even last year. Rodgers has the argument that he did all that in his first year as a starter, Cutler can argue that he's been better for longer. Cutler's the safer pick, since he's been good for two years, not one.

 

[sho nuff]

I think they really are about equal.

Both very talented...but both still need to show they can lead a team to a winning season and the playoffs.

Agreed, this question gets a lot easier after this season.
