Yeah, I don't understand why Packers fans hate on or care about Jay so much. The guy is 1-10 against the Pack. They should love him.
It's that wisconsin inferiority complex. Always have to see what big brother chicago is up to.
He's the Bears Ryan Braun? Meaning he's another guy that you obsessed with trashing?
He trashes everything he doesn't like. Braun, Cutler, soccer, college football, etc.I don't quite understand why Wade's gets off telling everyone why he doesn't like someone or something, but he does it constantly.
"Bashes everything he doesn't like." Something along those lines.Is the Braun contract a good contract?Is the Jay Cutler contract a good contract?
Ok, then name a better option for either team.
Well, I could find you quite a few different right fielders who hit .270 with 19 homers and don't make $20 million/year for the next 6 years.
Bears? No better QBs available. Still doesn't make it a good contract.
They didn't sign him to the contract right now.The contract is fine. It is hardly dragging on their cap and you are correct...no one better available.
And since this will undoubtedly come up, what QBs are better than Cutler?Rodgers, Brees, Manning, Brady, Wilson, Luck, Rivers, Foles, Matt Ryan, Kaepernik, Rothlisberger for sure.Romo, Stafford, Newton, Eli in the same group as him.Bortles, RG3 when healthy (okay, so never), Hoyer have brighter futures.

I disagree with your first category. I think several of those guys are on the same level as Cutler. Also, Hoyer turns 29 next week. His future isn't much different than Cutler's. Overall, I think there are only a handful (maybe those first 6 you listed) QBs the Bears would absolutely rather have than Cutler. A couple more like Bortles or Bridgewater have potential going for them. Beyond that, he's more or less equal to (or better than) the rest.
Who in the top group would you move down to the equal list?
Rivers, Foles, Matt Ryan, Kaepernick, Roethlisberger. Take those five, Cutler, Newton, Eli, Stafford, Flacco, Dalton, and Romo and randomly switch their teams, and I don't think there's much difference (outside the obvious issues of style/compatibility.) The QB position is incredibly valuable, but I don't think there's much separating a large portion of the starters around the league.Some have had more success than others, but I don't see much material difference in their abilities.
As far as Cutler goes I guess the question becomes is he worth the money they are giving him? Compare him to other quarterbacks in the NFL, and is he given what he is earning? I mean, Jay Cutler has the highest base salary of any QB in the NFL this year. I would put Jay right in the middle of the NFL in terms of starting quarterbacks, but he's being paid more than any other in base salary for this season.
Kaep is essentially the same as Cutler. Has all the ability but makes some questionable decisions. Foles hasn't showed me enough and I think he is incredibly overrated.
Except Jay has all the experience and keeps doing it.Only stat that matters with Jay: 8 years in the league - 1 playoff appearance
I get so sick of the "same old Jay" mantra from Packers fans, and yes I only hear about it from Packers fans. It's so tired. If he smiled and played nice with the media I think the Jay bashing wouldn't exist, but it does, so whatever. I hope you realize how incredibly fortunate you have been to fall into the Favre-Rodgers years. Not every fan base is so lucky. F*%K, this season sucks. Damn cheeseheads. (winky face)
I get tired of other teams' fans reminding us of the great Favre/Rodgers run - the Bears passed on Rodgers and took Cedric Benson @ #4 and anyone could have had Favre at the time (winky face)
We didn't need Rodgers, we had Sexy Rexy. But hey, we did draft Orton...(pounds head on wall.)
