Despite all of his vocal critics, I have always been a Jay Cutler fan. He has a rocket arm, a gunslinger mentality and, for the past few seasons, he’s had a bevy of offensive weapons at his disposal.

When his first few years with the Chicago Bears didn’t go according to plan, I would blame it on the fact that he had no consistency between offensive coordinators. It’s a fair excuse to give him. However, he’s now in the second year of a system that worked last season and he and the offense are failing miserably.

The Bears haven’t scored more than 28 points in any of their seven games this season after averaging more than 28 points per game last season. They sit at 3-4 and are staring down road games against the New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers in their next two outings.

Not until this season did it become clear to me that the Bears were never going to win a Super Bowl with Cutler as their quarterback. His body language is awful all of the time, and he doesn’t lead the way a franchise quarterback is supposed to lead. When he throws a long touchdown pass, he rarely goes to celebrate with his receiver.

He’s not a leader and he’s not a winner. At times, he’s a very good quarterback. Now, it’s become clear that doesn’t matter. Cutler has played in two playoff games in his entire career. For someone of his talent level, that’s ridiculous. Granted, this team’s defense isn’t what it used to be, but the Bears are a playoff team on paper.

The difference between good and great quarterbacks is that good ones make their team as good or worse than they look on paper. Great quarterbacks make their teams much better than they are on paper.

After supporting Cutler for years against his many critics, I’m now joining them. He’s an extremely talented quarterback who seems set on not becoming great. He’s not getting any younger, and by now it’s clear that Cutler won’t be leading the Bears to the promised land.
