Thoughts on Jay Cutler???

[bbgun]

You still in the midwest? I work for the Army and we are being relocated to Scott AFB, Illinois as part of the BRAC. I have been once but, didn't get to see much.

Nope. Wash DC.

LOL....ok...I'm obviously a little slow today. Very nice!!!









Seriously? My mom and dad.....................

Nope. Wash DC.

Ahhh, ok. I like going to DC, something about the History there. Now, if we could just do something about all those dang Skins fans......... :starspin

I heard a few guys say he was a sleeper, but didn't pay much attention. But then I got to see him play a game, and wow. He's got a LOT better arm than I expected, and his accuracy was excellent. Plus, he's plenty big for the NFL.

I could see him shooting up the boards like Rivers did a couple of years ago. Top 10 wouldn't even surprise me.

i like cutler he can sit for a year and watch bledsoe then he would be ready to play hopfully and we can start moving forward

 

[Hiero]

Definitely wouldnt mind to get Cutler even if it meant the first, because we need to have someone in place. Looks like a really good prospect but would be good to sit for a year or two.

I'm not convinced on Cutler. I dont really think that this class of QBs is all that wonderful NFL-talent wise, especially if Quinn doesnt come out. We have no shot at any of the top guys, I'd rather wait for next year's class which will be more laden with talent at the QB position than make do with Cutler. Maybe if he were available in the 2nd...but I think that we need to fix the OL first and foremost. Use the first two picks on that or get some depth at LB. Wanna think QB, do it in the 3rd. A guy like Shockley could be there (who i mentioned in another thread I liked a lot) but I think that after the combine and workouts he may work himself into a mid 2nd round pick once everyone sees him throw. Although truth be told, id rather us just make do with Bledsoe and try to fix the other areas of the team and address grooming a QB next season.

No way on Shockley- We've had enough of the Georigia QBs. Cutler will be a really good QB, but he won't be there when we pick, I'm pretty sure, even if we tank the season- he'll shoot up the draft boards. Anyway, they won't draft him even if he's there.

OK....before you start...those of you NOT draft buffs move on! This is for those that enjoy the draft and like to look at prospects towards the end of the college season. Many of you do not like to do this which I respect, so for those please respectfully move on.

Who has watched him?

I honestly do not think we will have a chance at Leihart, Quinn, or Young if they come out this year. This kid looks to be a prototypical BP type QB with some mobility! Smart, great arm, mobile....

EXCHANGE VALUE
[size=+2]70.5[/size] Pros: Prototype size; has got a great arm that can make any (I mean any) throw; tough pocket passer who will stand inside the pocket until the last moment to make the throw, great mechanics with a compact release and good holding and releasing points, does a good job of going through his progressions, has great mobility and can do damage with his feet when needed (averaged 350 rushing yards a year in his career), very durable, good accuracy, has carried the very limited Vanderbilt team on his back and led them to a great 4-0 start this year; amazing leader who was named Team Captain 3 times, can make an accurate throw on the run; has lots of experience starting at QB for 4 years
Cons: Sometimes forces throws into coverages; needs some work on his deep ball accuracy, footwork could use improvement, his stats do not pop out but that is because he has played with almost no help on offense, can take unnecessary risks

I like him but would prefer Jacobs because he's just as athletic and has more accuracy and is a better decision-maker. Jacobs is also from Florida and they have one of the best systems for developing NFL players. We have had a couple of those and they served us very well.

 

[kartr]

most may disagree but i'm not so sold on lienart. i like cutler 2nd most of the possible qb's with quinn #1. don't care for jacobs at all, and in the right system matt may be fine but i just don't see much zip on his pases. the nfl is no place for touch passers all the time

Jacobs has a great combination of accuracy,athleticism, decision-making and arm strength. What's not to like?

Ya I am so off and on with Jacobs. Sometimes i really want him and sometimes I dont. 41 TD's and 4 INT's is a hell of a feat I dont care where youre playing. Plus the huge size, I would like him although im a bit scared of him. A year or two under Bledsoe would be perfect for a guy like Jacobs though.

He's also thrown for 71 tds against 11 ints and absolutely torched Wisconsin, plus he's probably flying under the radar with of the hype surrounding Young, Lienart and Quinn.

Oh, right, because i forgot. QBs that went to the same school automatically play the exact same way.

In that case, Brady Quinn is garbage. I mean, hasnt the NFL had enough of Notre Dame QBs like Ron Powlus?

Matt Leinart will suck. Todd Maranovich proves it!

Cutler will be there when we pick, but I will throw my tv through the window if we dont take on OL or LB. Shockley will be there, and might be there in the 2nd (which I doubt somewhat) but I don't want him at that spot either. I was just throwing his name out there as someone i liked. I would prefer we pass on QB this year and fix the REAL problems with this team; address QB when he have a shot at someone really decent. This class this year is weak outside of the top 3 guys (assuming they come out).

 

[Bullet22]

I follow SEC football and Culter is good qb, he has nothing around him at Vandy..He would be a great last first or early second pick..

Hey if you are posting about a QB that is a good decision maker - I am all ears.

What about the intagibles? Does he have "IT"?
