Jay Cutler and his ego

Broncos new head coach Josh McDaniels must be patting himself on the back right now. He probably bought himself a beer for having such good judgment this off season.

After quarterback Jay Cutler made a huge fuss over the firing of former coach Mike Shanahan and the hiring of McDaniels and he went head-to-head in arguments with his new coach, the Broncos finally decided to trade the whiner to Chicago to be the Bears new hurler. The Broncos got Kyle Orton as compensation but we'll get to that later.

The guy reminded me of Willie Beaman in "Any Given Sunday". Anyone who cries about their situation and then doesn't perform really needs to re-evaluate themselves. Cutler made such a fuss about his situation (which has now spread to his go-to receiver Brandon Marshall) that the only way he could justify what he did was by going out and throwing the pill around like the second-coming of Brett Favre. OK more like the 8th coming of Favre??

Cutler is a Pro Bowl-caliber quarterback. Don't get me wrong, the kid can flat-out play. Unfortunately after throwing a huge temper-tantrum over the coaching change, he really had to perform in Chi-Town. And he didn't....

Four picks including some in a still close game, taking two sacks, and throwing more tantrums than touchdowns on the field. His performance can only be described as atrocious. Cutler at one point was on the sideline just chilling and buzzing his lips while having a career-worst day.

Now do you believe in karma?

McDaniels made a great reputation for himself as offensive coordinator in New England. He orchestrated three Super Bowl wins for the Pats while helping Tom Brady become the superstar that he is today. He also helped Matt Cassel emerge out of invisibility to become a great quarterback (unfortunately he now operates in Kansas City where quarterbacks go to be hit). How could you be upset that your team brought this guy in to help you too? His track record is as good as Usain Bolt's! Cutler's ego must have been larger than the entire cast of "Biggest Loser" if he didn't want to learn from McDaniels.

If Cutler wanted to go to another city.... fine. Don't poison your team before you leave and then under-perform after you get there.

Cutler's replacement? Orton throws a game-winning touchdown with 11 seconds left to win for his team. How is that trade looking now Jay?

I understand that players move all the time in the NFL. It's part of the business and can't be changed. However when your ego becomes so over-inflated you think you're bigger than the team, go take your sorry act somewhere else. Now Chicago is without Brian Urlacher (wrist surgery) for the season and must count on cry-baby Cutler to lead them in a revamped NFC North.

There may be plenty of tears in Chicago this season and it seems like a lot of them may be from Cutler.
