It’s really hard to remember a player in the history of the Chicago Bears franchise, or Chicago sports for that matter, who was more divisive than quarterback Jay Cutler. Ever since he arrived with the team back in 2009, he’s created a furious debate among the media, fans, coaches and fellow players alike. Some love him. Some hate him.
For Bears fans, it really is a yin-yang sort of situation. On the one hand there is the quarterback who is the most talented in franchise history. He holds every meaningful mark from passing yards to touchdowns. He’s also led 16 fourth quarter comebacks and won more games than anybody in the Super Bowl era.
On the other hands this is the man with well-documented attitude problems. He’s withdrawn, moody and often reckless. He also has the most losses of any Bears QB to go along with second-most interceptions. Despite years of watching him play, people still can’t reach a common consensus on him. That’s why the question has been posed to several prominent NFL personalities over the past couple months.
