Keyshawn on Cutler: 'Man, where's your brain?'

Former NFL wide receiver and current ESPN analyst Keyshawn Johnson referred to Bears quarterback Jay Cutler as a "turnover machine" and blamed offensive coordinator Mike Martz for the team's poor offensive showing in an interview with the Tribune on Friday.
"First of all, you have to protect the quarterback," Johnson said. "And protecting the quarterback falls on the offensive line coach (Mike Tice) and the offensive coordinator. And if they can't protect Jay Cutler, who is a turnover machine...you have to know what you're dealing with. Lovie Smith has to step in and he has to tell Mike Martz at some point and time: 'Look, enough's enough.' It would be nice to turn around and hand the ball to (Matt) Forte and allow him to run."
Johnson feels the Bears should be more conservative in their offensive approach.
"They don't have big-time wide receivers. Devin Hester and (Johnny) Knox are a good combination for what they are. And that's about all. And Jay Cutler is very loose with the football, but Mike Martz allows him to be loose with the football, and they don't protect him. He has this nonchalant, 'I-don't-care' look on his face. He throws four picks a couple of weeks ago (to the Redskins' DeAngelo Hall) and he comes out on television and says: 'I threw four picks and I'll throw right at the guy again.' OK, well, that was real stupid.
"You just threw four picks at him, now you're going to come back and say that if you had to do it all over again you would do it again. Man, where's your brain?"
Johnson and hundreds of New York locals are joining forces to create the largest Captain Morgan pose ever on the field at New Meadowlands Stadium to help launch "One Million Poses" - a campaign that will raise funds for a number of charities aimed at promoting responsible drinking and other worthy causes.

Yeah, Keyshawn is DEFINITELY the voice of reason. He is the conservative. When he fumbled or did not fight the defender, he was the first to admit his errors and say he would have done things differently.
NOT!!

Keyshawn is lucky he has a job in commentary. Ironic that his catchphrase is "give me the damn ball".
Arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics, even if you win your still messed up.
Restore the roar!

Nice to see he is keeping up his image of being a complete tool.

Say what you want to about Keyshawn Johnson, but he is merely echoing thoughts that we've all had. To me, he is preaching the choir; Jay Cutler needs to be reigned in. On top of that, we need an offensive line that will protect him (duh), and we need competent coaches who will see that the run needs to become more prevalent in the offense and fast.

When it came to playing football Meshawn Johnson was overrated but he does have a purdy mouth when it comes to talking trash. Some of my favorite moments in Meshawns career comes to when he trashed talked one of the jets wrs when the bucs played them and lost. The wr he ripped caught the winning td and the media hounded Meshawn after the game but the little puss refused to talk to the media. My favorite moment was when Chuckie deactivated Meshawn for the rest of the season. From that moment his career took a nose dive right into the shitter.

Yeah. Keyshawn was a wimp on the field. However, I have to say that I agree with his assessment on Jay Cutler. Who the hell keeps throwing the damn ball in DeAngelo Hall's direction when he keeps picking you off?
