Pete Prisco going rouge: One stat that largely defines why Jay Cutler is having such

Major Ursa said:

Interesting read from Prisco. Our offensive line not being healthy all year didn't help. Trestman forgetting we have an all pro running back didn't help. Our defense putting tremendous pressure on the offense didn't help. Jay making bad decisions didn't help. Somehow Jay Cutler has become the face of all this. I know he's getting paid all that dough, so he's has lofty expectations. It's hard to make excuses for the top paid player in the league. Still, I don't really think any quarterback was getting us very far this season based on the state of the team. As many have said, the finger pointing needs to be a little more evenly distributed.

Not arguing that, they have been bad all year. Just saying that Pete was not wrong in saying that Jay has thrown only three INT's in the first Q. That's all.

Thats a good article and good perspective. But the author doesn't mention that Cutler has been playing shitty along side of the shit D. His play has increased the hole the team digs.

Its not like Cutler has even been pressing. He has just plain been bad at throwing which is a whole other thing.

Cutler is jittery, and has been aiming with the ball. Look at his panic footwork in that gif.

Major, you're absolutely right. It's a shame but it is what it is. Trestman wants a scapegoat and we all know how mucht he media loves to go after Cutler for anything, really. He's had a rocky relationship since he got to Chicago and I think people see his failures as his that cannot be fixed. A lot throw rocks at him, but only talk about the firing of Trestman as a solely different issue. I'd like to think we would've eventually seen the guy was out of the league for 9 years becausehe's not good. Not punish the QB for it. It's unfortunate.

The biggest issue I've had with Cutler this year isn't one recorded in the stat sheets: the sheer number of times he's completely whiffed on checkdown passes. His accuracy is completely in the shitter, it's absolutely terrible. I've seen enough balls sailing over receiver's heads, landing at their feet or brushing the tips of their outstretched hands.

And up until last week, Rodgers had only thrown 3 INT's the whole year.

I wish I could do my job with the lack of effort and thought that Prisco displayed here.

No this is his job, to pull shit out of the crack of his ass, throw it down on paper and to get people fired up about it. Every so often he says something profound which is better than most if not all of the ESPN hacks.
