I posted a response to a blog called "Jay Cutler Must Go" that you can find on yardbarker. It was a long response so I'll share it with you. Not like anyone cares, but I feel it belongs on my blog.
Here it is
Ok, I'm tired of all the Jay Cutler hating going on. I actually wrote a blog/rant whatever you want to call it after their embarrassing loss to the Giants on Sunday night football a few weeks ago.
Here's a link to it (it's the most recent blog if you care to read it.)

Anyways, I will agree with you that Jay has been under performing since the Bears traded for him. I still believe the bears got a great QB for what they gave away. Yes, I believe they gave away too much, but I would much rather have Jay Cutler be the future to the Bears than Kyle Orton. The ONLY reason Orton is having more success in Denver than he did her in Chicago is because of the O-line change. Jay made the Pro Bowl at least once I know in Denver with their O-Line. It all comes down to protection. Without Protection Jay's INTs pretty much doubled and sack total probably quadrupled (probably an exaggeration, but you get the point).
On a side note, Martz is the Offensive Coordinator, not the O-Line coach.
Yes, it sometimes seems as if Jay may be giving up on the game, or looks lost out there with all the shoulder shrugging and holding his head down walking to the side line after another 3 and out that got them negative yards. So what? Would you be all smiles after the embarrassment he has gone through so far with the Bears? He's a competitive man, just like most people in the NFL and he shows it in his own way. At least he's not a distraction to the team. He could handle it by berating his team's play in the media after the games or throughout the week about how his protection is terrible or how Peppers is making all this money, but has barely any sacks. But he doesn't. He's very professional in his interviews I believe. Though, I kind of wish he would say something to try and fire the guys up because cause Lovie Smith sure as hell isn't going to do it. Don't even get me started on him, the guy looks confused every time the camera is on him and I never see him yelling at players. PLAYERS NEED TO BE YELLED AT. They need motivation. Someone should do it. Not this "Oh nice try guys, today wasn't our day, we'll get 'em next time, it doesn't matter if we lost as long as you gave it your best shot" crap I'm seeing from Lovie.
As far as what he said about Deangelo Hall. He probably shouldn't have said that after a performance like that, but even he said it's hard for him to say something like that after what just happened. He thinks he's great, that's a good thing. Do you want a QB with no confidence? Besides, two of those picks could have been prevented by the WRs, but the Bears' WRs are too young, dumb and inexperienced. That's a whole other issue Jay has to deal with as well.
Clearly I am a bears fan, and clearly I am a huge Jay Cutler fan. I understand why people are gettings frustrated, but Jay can't be the center of the blame. I just don't see it. I blame the Coaching (especially Lovie) and Martz for being such a stubborn coach, and we all know he is. Run the ball more, jack ass. The bears have a whole lot of issues and Jay Cutler seems to be getting all the blame because of how much we gave up to acquire him. If they ever improve their O-Line, or if they ever figure out how to block for Jay, then we'll see the reason why we gave up so much for him. He's the franchise QB, he is the future, they won't get rid of him, so improve the 0-Line and problem solved. If Jay had the line of oh, say the Colts, or the Patriots, or ANY other team that a QB has all day to throw with then he'd be a stud. But if you threw precious Peyton Manning or Tom Brady behind the Bears line, they'd look just as lost and confused as Jay does at times.
And here's a link to the actual article this response was for.
