PrintWhat (essentially) was said:
Cutler:
- He was waiting for a phone call; really happy how it turned out.
- He loves the history/tradition of the team
- He thinks the two offenses (Bears/Broncos) are similar; and he thinks the weapons that the Bears have are also similar to the Broncos (ChiFan note: He mentioned Rashied Davis as a weapon. Wow.)
- He thinks our receivers are excellent. (ChiFan note: At least he's a decent PR person at pressers)
- Thinks he'll have an easy transition to the Bears
- Really seems excited about the receivers we have. Smiles a lot when he's talking about them.
- Compares this trade to his "second draft day"
- "How are you going to live up to Sid Luckman?" Cutler's response: "Man, I'm gonna have to do some research."
- He's looking forward to being on a running team; thought last year they threw too much
- Had no control over where he got traded
- He thinks that the fans of Chicago have more passion than Broncos
Lovie
- Everyone's excited; feels as though ballclub's improved since the last game.
- Not asking Jay to be savior; just want him to help us win games (ChiFan note: In other words, a savior)
- Loves Jay's laser-rocket arm
Jerry
- He's excited about Jay AND Orlando
- Actually, check that: He's very excited about all the pickups
- Thinks the OL can be a position of strength (ChiFan note: Whoops)
- He thinks that the Cutler signing triggered a tsunami energy
- "We have a winning quarterback and we feel really good about that"

Does that mean he doesn’t know who Luckman is? Awesome.
Well, I wouldn’t expect him to I reckon.

Just a Joke

Doesn't matter...
whatever happened in Bears history prior to yesterday, now gets an asterisk… as *BC (Before Cutler).

chubby is better than how he looked a year or so ago. he dropped something like 40 lbs when he was diagnosed with diabetes. if chubby means he’s at a good weight and is healthy, i don’t care. :-)

Memory
As much as I love Bears tradition, I don’t know if I want a QB who cares about it. Just like, as a Cubs fan, I’m perfectly happy with ballplayers who couldn’t care less about goats and Bartman.
Just go out and win.
And the prevailing wind happens to be blowing from Vichy.
Eh
I like players that know the history of the organizations they play for. At least the cliff notes versions of it. So long as they don’t feel like they’re the only one who can turn it around.

yeah
just shows how much you appreciate playing for this franchise. Brian Urlacher did his study of the bears before he was even drafted. I remember on a pregame show, he was asked how it felt to be walking in the footsteps of Butkus and Singletary. instantly, he said “and Bill George”.
He also was able to tell who the all time record holders in certain categories were. His knowledge of Bears history runs deep. I have so much respect for him, because he knows this teams legacy.

We are still in the Kid Cutler glow. Do we have to come down off our “Pink Cloud” so soon?
I was thinking he was going to say. “Offensive Line? You mean you have one?”

about him looking forward to being on a running team
smart response. Even with Peyton Manning, the Colts have always been a running team. Same with the Packers during the Favre era. same with the Cowboys of the 90’s. same with the Rams.
and the ’98 ’99 Broncos

Jay talking so much about the WRs makes me nervous
We still won’t be competitive until we get some decent ones.. I don’t care who our QB is.
"...and when it comes to baseball, we have two favorite clubs: the Go-Go White Sox...and whoever plays the Cubs!!!"

I caught that too. Can’t say I would have done the same.

There was an incident a few years ago. The Bulls were killing the Knicks, scrubs were playing out the clock, and the fans were screaming at them to score 100 points for free Big Macs. They took a ton of shots, Knicks took offense and they tried to fight some Bulls players.
by Ozzie Montana on Feb 19, 2009 5:25 PM EST
Also lets not forget
Our defense was 21st in yard allowed and 30th against the pass. Plus they are old as shit. We still have some major holes. I’m happy we did this, but I really don’t think that the acquisition of Cutler makes us some kind of immediate threat. It does make us better of course.
"...and when it comes to baseball, we have two favorite clubs: the Go-Go White Sox...and whoever plays the Cubs!!!"
Old as sh1t? Who on our defense is old?
Name all the starters over 30. Go ahead. Let’s see how many you come up with.

Sackman's right, though he's being way too harsh in his response imo
I’m surprised – only Urlacher and Ogunleye are even 30.
The website says Kreutz is only 31, that can’t be right. He seems like he’s been around for 17 years.
So they’re not old, Charles Tillman just sucks.

How
do you figure that Charles Tillman sucks?
I thought that Kreutz was about 32, what website are you looking up ages on?
look who was running a cover 2?

yeah
they thought they could get to gus in time. hence the reason there wasn’t any man on man coverage. that had to do more with play-calling.

by ifuwannacrownem on Apr 4, 2009 3:46 PM CDT up reply actions
While I certainly think that play sucked
One bad play does not mean he sucks. The Bears were in cover 2 with Gus Ferrotte standing 5-7 yards in his end zone with absolutely no pressure.
There are more Tillman highlight reels than there are bloopers
Waid a second "sackman"
Are you really trying to suggest that the Bears Defense doesn’t have alot of older players? What does being over 30 have to do with it? Do alot of football players make it well past there 30s???
"...and when it comes to baseball, we have two favorite clubs: the Go-Go White Sox...and whoever plays the Cubs!!!"
Also... no reply
to the D last year being 30th against the pass and 21st in yards allowed? Or do you just want to focus on age?
We were 5th against the run which is good.. I think 16th in points allowed
"...and when it comes to baseball, we have two favorite clubs: the Go-Go White Sox...and whoever plays the Cubs!!!"
Umm well
I think that Cutler does make us more of an immediate threat. Provided he picks up on the playbook quickly. Lets not forget that Orton has had years to learn Turner’s system. Hypothetically, Cutler with the same understanding of Bears offense as Orton. Bears win at least 2-4 more games last year.
Have to agree with Sackman concerning the ages of the defense. Really it has gotten pretty young over the past couple years.
I think we'll win at least 12 games

if they weren't playing
the ravens, steelers and cardinals.
i would be all over that.
granted losing those games would still let them go 13-3, i can’t see them being that good right now. lots of offensive churn and questionable d. both of which cutler can make better, though.
the ravens and the cardinals arent that good.
the cardinals wont have boldin and i dont think the ravens are that good anyway.

I watched that, looked like Jay was really excited
I am sure he sighing a big relief that he did not end up a Lion or Brown, congrats once again Bears, I think you got a great QB for years to come, I really think you just got a HOF QB, but time will tell, very sad in Broncoland.

He should be happy
Chicago is one of the greatest cities in the US. Nothing against cities like Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit etc, but come on. This is Chicago. When Jim McMahon was drafted by a cold weather, run oriented team, I think he wanted to commit suicide.
When he realized it was Chicago, I think he very smartly understood that the city of Chicago and their fans are the best in the NFL! Period!
The Bears stole Jay Cutler and Cutler will own this city if they win.
haha yeah he does
he looks like a chicago qb savior should

Irony
Anyone else find it ironic that we have the QB that is known as “the next Brett Favre”?
I hope he can torture Packer fans for the next decade the way Brett tortured us!!!
Amen Brother!
I still find it funny that the NFL “experts” still say we have the 2nd best quarterback in the division…what a joke…

he needs a better PR assistant
Jay, man…LEARN HOW TO SMILE, dude! That big picture of him holding up the Bears jersey, holy cow he looks like he’s just gotten arrested for something and getting his booking photo taken. He needs to hire one of those Hollywood-advisor types to for a couple hours one afternoon to teach him how to smile. (And don’t think the QB stars don’t do that. You see Tom Brady smile? I don’t think that comes naturally, he could be a man toothpaste supermodel or something if he wasn’t an NFL quarterback.)
Jay isn't as well-versed as Admiral Neckbeard was...
I guess that’s the difference between an SEC education and a Big 10 education. j/k but he needs to work on his speaking skills.
I can live with that...
as long as he can call the plays in the huddle and the snap count we’ll be fine.
You can't compare their educations
by the schools they went to. Matt Leinart went to USC so you’d figure he’d be the smartest, but in his senior year, the only class he took was ballroom dancing.

i was actually joking and making a generalization that most people believe in...
but i do believe on average, big ten schools have better academic programs than sec schools. Of course Vandy is a good school, it’s a private university for god sakes. It’s probably one of the best schools academically in the SEC, hence why they aren’t all that great in basketball and football. They’re the Northwestern of the SEC. :-)

Cutler
said all of the right things. Just hearing him talk about the team and everything was exciting. I can’t wait for us to add something more for him to throw to. Olsen, Hester, Clark should be good, but we need another FA WR and a second round pick WR.
Torry Holt or Matt Jones would be nice.
Plus a 2nd round pick rookie.
