Jay Cutler is focal point of Bears inconsistency
FOXBOROUGH Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall screamed his headpatagonia discount site3 off at his teammates inside the locker room this past Sunday following their 27 14 home loss to the Dolphins.
He said he expects more out of his teammates than a 3 4 record and wildly incpatagonia discount site1onsistent play, and he reportedly took aim at quarterback Jay Cutler. Anyone within earshot of the locker room door could hear Marshall impassioned rant, and the Bears apparent dysfunction became one of the top stories around the league this week.
Cutler, now 31 and in his ninth NFL season, is as maddening as ever for Bears fans and teammates. If you want the primary reason the Bears can pull off impressive road wins at San Francisco and Atlanta yet lose at home to Buffalo and Miami, look no further than Cutler, still erratic and inconsistent.
Cutler play has been so inconsistent that last Sunday against the Dolphins, Trestman finally took away the car keys. He stripped Cutler of the right to call the play at the line of scrimmage and instructed him to run what was called on the sideline.
took some of the options off, and we handed the football off, Trestman spatagonia discount siteaid. we got more of what we woupatagonia discount site0ld expect out of our offense a good, solid drive. has been just enough Good Jay to keep the Bears competitive this year. In road wins at San Francisco, New York (Jets), and Atlanta, he has thrown for 781 yards, seven touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Cutler 67.3 completion percentage for the season is his career best by almost 4 points, his 94.4 passer rating also would bepatagonia outlet store dillon a career best, and his 7.1 yards per attempt is right in line with his career average of 7.2.
While Cutler has some of the biggest and baddest weapons in the game at his disposal Marshall, Alshon Jeffery, and Martellus Bennett are all 6 feet 3 inches or taller he has been comfortable checking down to running back Matt Forte, who leads the NFL with 52 catches.
Cutler has done a good job of sustaining drives and taking what is given to him.

Bad Jay shows up and throws a crippling interception.
Cutler seven picks are tied with several players for third most. Five of his interceptions have occurred in opponent territory.
If Trestman standard is passer rating and completion percentage, then he better find a new way to evaluate quarterbacks.
Thepatagonia better sweater vest women sale numbers that truly speak to Cutler progress this year are his yards per attempt (tied for 21st in the NFL) and interceptions. In the NFL landscape, Cutler is still a mediocre quarterback.
The Bears defense, which has improved from 30th last year to 17th this year, has forced a healthy 12 turnovers in seven games. But the Bears are still minus 1 in turnover margin, with 12 of their 13 giveaways coming in their four losses.
frustrating, because we don practice tpatagonia discount code zcliphat way, said Trestman. work very hard at ball security. knows good quarterback play when he sees it. He was the 49ers quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator during Steve Young prime in the 1990s. He held the same titles in the early 2000s with Oakland and Rich Gannon. He was brought to Chicago last yepatagonia everlong review samsungar largely to rein in Cutler and help him improve.
Cutler hasn improved, though, and the Bears seem to be making a lot of excuses for his play. Fortepatagonia discount site2 said the pass protection has affected Cutler, whose 17 sacks are tied for fourth most.
