Cutler through 5 games

Jay Cutler s Ranking through 5 games

 

PCT- 5th

Yards- 9th

TD's- 5th

INt- 7th (improvement needed here)

QB rating- 11th

 

 

On pace for

 

4,377.60 yards

32 Td's

19 INT

 

All of this with a new line, new scheme and new coaching staff. Cutler and O are only going to get better as the season goes on. He does have more weapons this year.

 

The 3 biggest area's of concern

1. Reading the D, Jay is not picking up Blitzes. NO showed blitz a couple of times in the first half and he never picked up on it.

2. The "Bad Jay" throws. When you watch a guy like Drew Breese you rarely see him make the WTF was he doing throw. There was one pass against NO that should have been picked off, Marshal was running up the sideline, Cutler threw it off his back foot which lead to it being underthrown. Marshal had a step, had Cutler stepped into the throw and lead him, that could have been a big play.

3. Putting it together for 4 quarters. The O has gotten off to fast starts then stalled and then came back strong at the end. They have gotten off to shitty starts and then came back strong at the end of the game. I would like to see them put on a good showing for 4 quarters. Would be nice to see some pressure taken off the Bears D.

 

Im hoping Trestman keeps getting Cutler to improve, if so he should improve all of these numbers while throwing less INT's.

He's got 13,660 yds for career as a Bear.

 

Luckman has 14,686.

 

He need sonly 1,027 to break the record.

 

At the end of the season, if not in 4 weeks of play, Jay will be the all time Bears passing leader.

Forte should move into number 2 all time rushing by the end of this season as well.

It is hard to get a good read on him right now because it seems like he only starts performing when teams go to a prevent type of defense and allow him to pick them apart. The Bears won all 3 games that he threw for less than 300, and lost the 2 when he threw for over 300.

 

Here is some other interesting numbers:

 

He has yet to be sacked in the 4th Quarter

 

When the Bears are 3rd and 8-10, Jay has a 112.5 QB Rating

 

4 of his INT are on 1st Down (this is very high considering he only has 6 total), he has thrown 0 on 2nd Down

 

1st Down is his worst Down with a 81.4 rating, 4 INT and 2 sacks, and he has attempted 73 passes on 1st Down, compared to 57 for 2nd, and 48 for 3rd. We need to get the running game going to prevent predictable pass plays.

 

The 2nd and 3rd Quarters are his worst, he has a 70.6 rating in the 2nd, and a 72.6 in the 3rd. 7 of the 9 sacks have been in those quarters. I have no idea why this occurs, but we have been digging holes in these quarters only to come roaring back in the 4th (which may be more to do with the other teams defense than anything else).

 

With 2 mins left in a half, he has a 110.0 rating, so the 2-minute offense works. We need more no-huddle and 2 minute offense.

The biggest problem I've had with Cutler and the offense is that too much is being done late in games after they have fallen behind enough to where the opposing defense is comfortable enough to sit back and give you meaningless stat padding yardage. Specifically in the last two games where about half their offense came in the 4th quarter.

 

Cutler has looked better, I'll give him that, but he's still the same guy he's always been. He'll have 3 or 4 games where he'll look like an All Pro, but he'll have 3 or 4 awful games that leave you feeling sick when the game is over. With Jay it's all about managing those bad games and making sure it doesn't become a total implosion like the Lions game. That's Trestman's job. That is what he is here for.

 

They definitely need to start getting things in gear here as we approach the halfway point of the season. The more games you play the more tape there is for teams to look at. Trestman is suppose to be the offensive genius, but he's left a lot to be desired. I don't expect them to look like an elite offense right now, but I do expect better results than I've seen so far this year early in games. That's where the game planning comes into play. That's on Trestman.

Maybe McCown should start and play until the 3rd...then Cutty comes in?

Again...no comment. (lol)

The first part of this really is odd. In fact if you look at the game last week between Dallas and Denver where over 900 yards were passed between the two, Romo completed for more yards than did Manning (500 to 400 ish) and he still lost. It was that last interception that killed them. Just baffles the mind. But when you have a QB that is able to throw for more than 300 yards and still lose consistently, something is wrong. In our case it is the turnovers. Cutler committed 4 in a narrow win to Minn and four more in a loss to Detroit. Although he did better in this last weekend's game, the fumble was still a killer, espcially since it related directly to points.

 

There is something to him not seeing the blitzes. There is a disconnect there.

 

And as far as the no-huddle, couldn't agree more. There are so many positives to be gained than not when you do it and you do it right. Ask P. Manning and Brady.

Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are running offenses that they have run for many many years. Jay Cutler and the rest of the Bears offense are running an offense they've run for 5 weeks. In time they will get there but 5 games in? Maybe I'm the only one who sees players asking where to line up when we go no huddle late in games.
