I never liked Cutler...one bit. When the Bears signed him and they were all going nuts over him I sat back and chuckled. They gave away a CRAPload for him.
He has harmed the team more than he has helped. As far as I see it, if he is deemed as such an elite quarterback, he should be able to fight through the negatives of the Chicago Bears. The whole team has fallen to shambles. They are just bad and are only getting worse.
When Orton was with the Bears, the defense was at it's high point and he had a few good receivers. Not to mention, when Orton was the quarterback for the Bears, they had the most electrifying punt and kick off return (which the Bears alone singlehandedly ruined).
Cutler shows every game he can only throw and only wants to throw to one person, Greg Olsen. I think in the Minny game, he hit Olsen like 3-4 consecutive times. It doesn't help that all his receivers are dominant 3rd string receivers on any good team, but again, if he is SO great he should overcome this.
*Edit- To add. This move was poor on the Bears because getting Cutler shows Orton was NOT the problem. The real problems are shining now.
