Silver Linings: Jay Cutler Still Plays Like A Lady

I am attractive.....and prone to accepting false prophets

There is a silver lining to the Broncos getting off to such a stellar start; it makes Jay Cutler look like an even bigger douche and that is soooooooo satisfying. There is no player I root against more than The Little Hillbilly (Silver Medal: Randy Moss).

Now that TLH is out of the AFC West I'm forced to root against my birth team, the Chicago Bears---a burden I never thought I'd bear. No longer do I boast a vested interest in the Monsters of the Midway so I have no concern with their standing but I had never actively rooted against them*.....until Jay Cutler arrived. A Jay Cutler Hater must do what a Jay Cutler Hater must do.

Seeing statistics like the ones below make me warm.....

JC's red zone gaffes and another loss makes me feel fuzzy......

Feeling warm and fuzzy going into Monday Night Football tomorrow.....priceless. I'll miss seeing Jay Cutler FAIL on Jack Murphy's Field; your turn Kyle Orton.

*Not entirely true. The 2007 home opener saw me root For the Bolts/Against the Bears. But there was no loathing towards any of their players nor the team itself. Time brings change.

This Week In: "Jay Cutler just bein' a freakin' jag!" 8/17

"It's 38-13. Time to be a mope"

Jay Cutler works extremely hard to build rapport with his teammates. To wit:

Lost in the aftermath of Jay Cutler having the audacity to imply Devin Hester didn't do all he could to break up a poorly thrown interception Saturday night against the Bills was this:

Cutler had a valid point.

Hester acknowledged he should have done more to increase the degree of difficulty for Bills cornerback Leodis McKelvin, even if Hester's momentum was taking him the opposite direction. Hester agreed with Cutler that he could "learn from it," as Cutler put it.

But it was one of those things probably better left unsaid at the podium by a new quarterback whom teammates still are getting to know, the kind of veiled criticism coach Lovie Smith surely would prefer come at a team meeting rather than a news conference. The explanation sounded more like an excuse.

Off his back leg, Cutler made a terrible throw and floated the ball 40 yards downfield -- and it would have been nice to hear him say that too. Forget fans and media; it would have been good for Bears players to see their new leader take sole responsibility for his mistake, even if Hester, in part, had erred too.

Had Cutler done that, few people around Chicago still would be discussing his interception now.

My favorite "Jay Cutler just bein' a freakin' jag-off" comment came after the Chargers demolished the Broncos 38-13 in the final week when he had the audacity to throw his defense under the bus for the loss. Sure the defense wasn't too solid but I seem to recall a collapse against Buffalo in Mile High the previous week.....that was pretty much on you, ya mope.

Enjoy him Chicago.
