Polian: "Cutler has all the intangibles, too"
Some good points here by Polian.
LINK to the article Polian: Cutler has all the intangibles, too
There has never been a question about Jay Cutler's natural ability, but former NFL general manager and president Bill Polian believes the Chicago Bears quarterback has the intangibles to be great as well.
"He wouldn't be the type of quarterback he is without the intangibles," Polian, now an ESPN analyst, told "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN Chicago 1000 Wednesday. "Just stop and think about this: What was he surrounded with at Vanderbilt? I saw him as a sophomore ... in the Swamp take Florida to the wire and come back about three or four times in that game. It took a miraculous play by the Gators, who were then in the top 10 in the country, to win the game.
"This is a guy who's done a lot with a little throughout his career. And his receiver corps -- it's no secret -- his receiving corps in Chicago has not been stellar during his time there. I don't know why people would question the intangibles. He's done a lot with a little throughout his career."
Cutler, who started all 45 career games at Vanderbilt before being picked in the first round of the 2006 NFL draft by the Denver Broncos, enters the final year of his contract with the Bears in 2013. Cutler has said he is content to play out the final year of his deal if he can't come to an agreement on an extension with the Bears before the season.
Polian, who drafted Peyton Manning during his 15-year run as president of the Indianapolis Colts, likes what he sees from Cutler, who he believes has rare talent.
"I see an incredibly talented guy. He's got a great arm, he's got a great delivery, he's got good knowledge of what defenses are doing to him," Polian said. "He's got really good timing; he can deliver the ball on time. He can make every throw. He can get it into tight windows which is extremely rare in quarterback talent. He's got some escapability. He can buy a second chance. He's not RGIII by any stretch of the imagination but he can buy a second chance. He's courageous; he'll take the hit in order to get a first down.
"I think if he's surrounded with better receiving and protection talent he'll shine. He's a very, very talented quarterback."

Polian is a hack that doesn't know squat....he got lucky w/a top pick to have Manning drop into his lap......
oh wait, he said something good about Cutler so he must be a genious. 
J/K he does..problem is he never uses them all. He completely loses his cool under pressure and he stops using his head.

I still believe Cutty is our guy. If we can do something....ANYTHING....to upgrade pass protection for him, I think he'll get us where we need to be...

I posted this article due to the fact it's the 1,000th Jay Cutler article since the season ended. Only about 50,000 more Cutler articles until the season begins 
Stay tuned. I think we'll pass the 10,000th offensive line article by this afternoon. Can never have too many of 'em 
I hate the off-season. Every year gets tougher for me than the last. I'm about to lose my mind already..........maybe if we're lucky we'll get yet another "Hester has to do better" article today. Can't wait.

Ditto. That's why I tend to back off the Bears news this time of year. It's speculation ad nauseum. You forgot to mention another Webb article though. There was a seriously disappointing one today. It gave me the munchies.
Thank heaven the blackhawks are playing, and playing well. That's where my offseason time goes.

I'm a hockey fan. I am so glad the season didn't get cancelled.

Give him a solid o-line, Cutler would do Great things!!!!

Gee : an O-line that gives him time to throw - and receivers who can actually get open will = a better Jay . Who'd a thunk it . It IS complicated y'know .
I Love Lou " Dr. Slushmouth" Holtz .

Cutler needs an O-Line bad! Then he will become better.

That would pretty much describe every QB in the NFL including the pretty boy in NE who can become an even worse ogre than Cutler when things aren't going his way.
The best point Polian made is that Cutler has had some top ten and even top five performances while being surrounded by a lot of bottom five and bottom ten talent but he never gives up. He's still out there working to win and that is one of his best intangibles.
Just get him the help he needs and couple that with an offense and good coaching and he's a top QB and a SB winner. I'll bet on it.
I'm getting to that age where a lifetime warranty just doesn't mean as much to me anymore as an afternoon nap.
