He can throw across his body and off the wrong foot. He can throw laser shots with both feet airborne. I have seen him throw a 35-yard frozen rope when his body was completely horizontal, off the ground, and draped with a 325 lbs. lineman. Jay Cutler has the strongest, most powerful FUNCTIONING arm in the NFL. " Jay Cutler is 10 feet tall. Shoots lasers out of his eyes, and fireballs out of his I luv my behind. if HE were here... lol A bit over the top but a good read. He'll for sure get along with Kruetz and our offense should finally have its attitude back, fortified with the quiet "walter" like Forte. Which would be a good nickname for the man. "Equal", as in equal to sweetness(just a nickname, not a proclamation yet), or Fortify.

     It is not "over the top" since I did not even mildly exagerrate a single thing.  You will see come this September.   He's the Michael Jordan of the NFL.

   (edit:  okay, I stand corrected on the amount of reps he bench pressed at the Combine.  I honestly thought I recalled 30 reps.  My bad.  Still the strongest QB in the NFL though, and that was my point.)

     For your information the NFL does NOT allow players to wear capes onto the field, so you are forgiven for not recognizing Superman.

    Also, please explain to me why Shawn Merriman puts a piece of kryptonite in his jock before coming out of the locker room when facing Jay Cutler?

Good info to hear about Cutler, he's gonna make our offense that much better and our defense will be getting much more rest this season because they won't be on the field half the game.....they'll be well rested in the 4th qtr.

For once, the Bears will have a balanced attack since the first half of the season in 06'...............September can't get here fast enough.

"There are only about a dozen NFL quarterbacks with the arm, charisma and willpower to carry a team to the Super Bowl. Cutler is on that list; Kyle Orton is not. Yet the Broncos gave Cutler away to the Bears because he didn’t make a positive first impression on new head coach Josh McDaniels. Franchise quarterbacks are harder to find than Super Bowl coaches. In fact, franchise quarterbacks often make Super Bowl coaches." -Rick Gosselin

    Jay Cutler will win more Superbowls than any QB in NFL history by the time his career is over.

What predictions will we see next?

Oh, and you no longer have any right to call me a "homer" after this post. Cutler is already better than Brady? Elway? Manning? Marino? Montana? Young?

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Thanks for the read.   Do you know about his family ?  I think I read somewhere his dad is a cop (peace officer) Brothers or sisters...any other pros in the family...how did he do in school intelligence wise...what kinda ancestry does he have....when did he start lifting ?  did he get thrown in the bushes in 5th grade and sign up for some York barbells ?

  

   No, I don't know much about his family.  I know that he was born in Santa Claus, Indiana, and his father ran a fairly good-sized concrete company.  They poured most of the slabs in town.  He lived in a place called Christmas Lake Village, a suburb of Santa Claus.  (NO....lol, I am NOT making this up).  His father, Jack, was also a full-time Indiana State Trooper.  He built the house Jay grew up in.

     Jay worked for his father starting at age 6, placing re-bar and digging holes.  He also worked as a garbage hauler for a summer.  He started his first game as a sophmore at Heritage Hills High School and started what ended up becoming a 58-game winning streak.  He never lost a single game in high school.  As a senior in 2000, he led Heritage to a 15-0 record and the Indiana State Championship.

     During one game that year, Heritage Hills was playing North Posey, a small country school. A few plays into the game, Cutler was struck with a virus that was going around the school. He called a timeout, ran to the sideline and told coach Bob Clayton he had to, ahem, go. And the cornfield wasn't going to cut it. With no other restroom facilities in the immediate area, Cutler held it for a few plays on defense, then ran directly out of the end zone, through an open field, and past the parking lot until he finally reached the school, where he banged on doors until a janitor finally let him.

     Upon his return, Cutler, the fastest kid in Spencer County, scored on a 65-yard punt return, a 24-yard interception return, a 44-yard run and threw a 55-yard touchdown pass in a 69-3 victory.

     After being drafted by Denver, he bought a large home in the area and moved his parents into it.  After McCoach decided to express his intellect by trying to trade Cutler for Matt Cassell, Jay sold the home.

     He has followed the Bears his entire life and always been a Chicago Bear fan.

If what you say is true regarding Jay working with concrete at age 6, this explains his unusual strength. A guy I know started in concrete at age 7 (his Dad had the business) and this guy became quite the athlete, running marathons, football,skydiving and got into martial arts and became a world champion kickboxer. I worked with him a lot and trained him in the early part of his kickboxing career. Anyway, my point is this guy had an unusual strength, an incredible work ethic and seemed impervious to punishment and fatigue. There is something about working with concrete that develops great physical and mental strength, if you've ever worked with concrete much you know what I'm talking about.

I'm even more excited about Cutler now that I know some of his blue collar background....can't wait to see him on the field in a Bears uniform and display his talents.

     Really interesting remark about the concrete work, and you are correct.  I worked pouring concrete for only one summer, and I can testify that you speak truth.  Actually I never thought about that being relative to Cutler's unusual physical strength until you pointed that out.

 

     Thank you very much.  I learned something new too.

    And I also am thrilled that Jay is finally with a team and fans who will appreciate him.  I can't wait for Green Bay!

  

    GO BEARS!!!!   ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPERBOWL, BABY....ALL THE WAY!!!!

The thing about winning the most SuperBowls ever... yeah, that's the part I care about! What makes me feel good about Jay and everything surrounding him and our Organization is that he's a Midwestern boy, like the majority of us; he was a childhood Bears fan, like us, and he's young.

Its like Denver was just practice for him to get ready for his REAL career as the best Chicago Bears QB ever, hopefully, in 10 or so years, we'll be thanking him for the memories and remembering a Golden Era of Chicago Bears history with a plethora of young stars on Offense and Defense.

Cutler, Hester, Olsen, Forte & Kreutz - Urlacher, Briggs, Tillman, Brown & Harris and the list goes on... is it September yet!?!?!

I can see the future: "Cutler drops back, steps up in the pocket... going DEEP to Hester! And its caught at the 20, 15, 10, 5, touchdown! Touchdown Bears! Cutler to Hester is becoming the premier long ball connection in the NFL... wow, these guys are special!"

Cutler, Hester, Olsen, Forte & Kreutz - Urlacher, Briggs, Tillman, Brown & Harris and the list goes on... is it September yet!?!?!

    Excellent synopsis.

    I would like to elaborate a bit, if I may.  The euphoria that Chicago is now experiencing is very, very different than the euphoria Bronco fans experienced back in 1983.  In 1983 the Broncos did not yet have a very good team assembled at the proper positions.  Now...once Terrell Davis was developed, and once the FO traded for stars on D like Alfred Williams and Neil Smith, well, THAT was closer to what Chicago is experiencing right now.  But, let us keep in mind that Elway had been toiling for YEARS in Denver before that happened.

    The Bears resemble the 1996 Broncos more than the 1983 team.  The Bears are STOCKED at every single position sans the one that Cutler himself will improve on....the WR's.  And Jay seems to think they'll do just fine.  I'd hesitate before questioning him on this topic.  Elway had to wait over a decade before they finally got a team around him (you read:  D and running game) that could win it all, back-to-back.  It was at the very end of his career.  Jay Cutler will not have to wait that long....not by a longshot.

     Let us count the ways....

    D line....check.  LB'ers.....argueably the best in the NFL with Briggs and Urlacher.  Secondary.....check, all ball hawks.  O-line....just signed Pace, check.  RB's.....very check, Forte is a star already.  QB....hehehehe....check.  TE's?.....Olsen is a future Pro Bowler.....check.

    Where are the weaknesess?  I do not see any in my humble opinion.

    DO not be that surprised if Jay does NOT take a year to get used to this system and the Bears are in the Superbowl THIS YEAR.

    I wanted to say it first.  LOL!!!      ;-)

Just a quick FYI... i put $100 down on us before we signed Jay; 30-1 odds! Bear Down! (aint gonna say anymore or i'll jinx it!)

A fun post to read and adds to the anticipation for the season.

But your glowing description is not balanced because it fails to address the areas where Cutler needs to improve.  His QB rating in the redzone is 74 (Orton's was 96)  Cutler needs to learn to take care of the ball and  become more effective inside the opponent's 20.  If he can do that, then we may have something.

And THIS is why we need people like me who post FACTS with the links that tell, as the late Paul Harvey used to say "The rest of the story"

Orton's Comp % inside the 9 yard line? 47.8
Orton's Comp % inside the redzone? 52.5

His YPA inside the 20? 4.22.

Yeah, lets brag about how 'great' his QBR is again.

NEITHER QB did great in the 'red zone' but here is where the bragging should start.

Orton ONLY attempted 39 passes inside OUR 20 yard line, completing 64.1 for a 7.95 YPA

Jay Cutler was forced to pass from behind his twenty 92 times, completing 67.4 of them and averaging over 9 YPA

Seems like one guy had to SUSTAIN drives while one guy ended up in the redzone because our ST and D placed him there.

Wonder what Jay's redzone numbers will be when he get's to constantly start from our 40 or in enemy territory.

I agree that statistics can be misleading.   But the disparity between Cutler and Orton's redzone QB rating is a concern.  Hopefully Cutler will concentrate on making good decisions in the redzone and  a good running game will help.  It is an area where the coaching staff can concentrate to make Cutler a better QB.

    Thank YOU!!!!   I knew it was right around 30 times.  Whoever heard of a QB with that kind of strength AND mobility??!!!

     You may as well give the Bears the Superbowl trophies right now, because they are just about to win ALL OF THEM!!!!  Jay Cutler will WIN more Superbowls than any

I had no idea that I visited Jay's home town, there is a water park there called holliday world.  My wife and I have taken our children there a few times.  Don't know why I posted this just thought it was kinda cool that he lived there I guess.

I like Cutler, even with his huge ego and take complete charge attitude that he seems to have, but Grossman had a lot of confidence and a very strong and accurate arm also, yet the pounding from the lack of pass blocking broke him. Cutler is used to protection, I saw Cutler do a lot of moving and stepping up in the video from the OTA, unfortunately he won't have that kind of time or he will have to move a lot faster. The accurate throwing from a horizontal position, if true,  may prove to be his greatest assett.

Why was Denver shopping for another QB when they had the greatest QB that ever played the game? Something isn't right. My guess is that Denver either believes there is some kryptomite floating around out there or they wanted their team back. Cutler sounds to me like he wants to be, no thinks he is, QB, Head Coach, Offensive Coordinator, and GM. I like the guy but I wouldn't want to coach him because I think Cutler would take my job away.

   No, I don't know much about his family.  I know that he was born in Santa Claus, Indiana, and his father ran a fairly good-sized concrete company.  They poured most of the slabs in town.  He lived in a place called Christmas Lake Village, a suburb of Santa Claus.  (NO....lol, I am NOT making this up).  His father, Jack, was also a full-time Indiana State Trooper.  He built the house Jay grew up in.

Ever have to wheel barrows full of concrete to pier blocks in the middle of a big home without spilling any and manuveuring perfectly to pickup and unload the concrete exactly where it's supposed to go ?  I'm pretty sure that a full big wheel barrow is over 400# to begin with and has to be carried just right in order not to spill any.....If young little Jay was watchin his father do this kinda work I'm sure he was strainin his body out at an early age just tryin to do this kinda heavy lifting.....No wonder he can max bench 400....He's been strainin his gutts out since he was in 1st or 2nd grade to impress his Dad with his strength and work ethic.   He must have realized he was stronger than normal from the hernia generating mega lifts he was tryin to do at 6 or 7 and started concentrating at running.....so he could be stronger and faster than anyone he knew...I'd be willing to bet that he could outrun his Dad at an early age and that was why he worked on speed too.   The stars really aligned correctly for JC to arrive in Chicago.  Bring it On Jay...Show the world what you can do with awesome field position and a fierce defense that gets alotta turnovers in Their territory.....Quick Hit precision lasered rope to the endzone TouchDown !!!!!!!!!!
