People like him because he has talent, more than any Bears QB in history. The Bears have been waiting for someone like him for years. I will say that at age 30, people do keep waiting for him to reach his potential. You can say that Flacco finally reached his potential last year and he is a late bloomer so to speak, and maybe with the right staff and offensive weapons Cutler can do the same. I'm sure I will be ridiculed for saying this, but it seems that when Cutler makes interceptions, it isn't like the defender made an incredible play and you just tip your hand to him. Maybe it is the meatball in me, but so many of them seem unavoidable. The meatballs like me have some stupid reasons for hating Cutler and I think people defend him because his haters are just way off most of the time. So the backlash gets reversed into defending him more than he should be. Let's face it, he was a jerk for forcing a trade in Denver, hates the media, and is kind of a prick. You get a ton of hate for doing that. Bold #1: While that's true and Cutler tries too much at times, but it seems like this year he had more tipped INTs than usual. That's usually as a result of "luck" instead of Cutler having bad decision making or force something out of nothing like his 1st INT today. The 2nd was mainly on Cutler. It sailed on him a little even though Marshall got a piece of it. I wonder if the S would've had the INT if Marshall didn't tipped it? For me... Cutler's INTs this year has seems like it's a result on bad luck more than Cutler just being horrible and throwing at guys like in the years past. Bold #2: I would've been a jerk as well and force Denver to trade me if I was Cutler. It was a shitty move by McDaniels.
