Not sure about Cutler? Seriously Eightzero? Well, here are a handful of reasons why tons of people ARE SURE about Cutler, and why I would take him over your Pillsbury Doughboy QB, JaMarcus "can i have mo pie" Russell.
1. Cutler became the first rookie QB in NFL history to throw for at least two touchdowns in each of his first four games played.
2. He also became just the second rookie in league history (fifth player overall) to throw at least two touchdown passes in each of his first four starts. The only other rookie to accomplish the feat was Dan Marino in his 1983 rookie season.
3. He also posted the second-highest TD percentage (6.6) and third-highest TD-to-INT ratio (1.8) among NFL rookies since 1970 with at least 125 passing attempts.
4. In Cutler’s FIRST complete season, he completed 297-of-467 passes (63.6%) for 3,497 yards, 20 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. He was the NFL’s 12th-ranked passer (88.1) and also had the tenth-most passing yards (3,497). Furthermore, Cutler was the league’s ninth-best third-down passer, with a 92.1 passer rating (73-of-125 for 901 yards, 8 TD and 3 INT). His 3,497 passing yards ranked as the seventh-best single-season performance in team history. He also had the third-best single-season completion percentage (63.6) in team history. Not bad at all… and awesome when you consider it was his FIRST DAMN SEASON. Cutler will be a superstar. If pot bellied JaMarcus can string together a season half this good in '08, ill be impressed.
CUTLER for prez
