Cutler's take

In a 34-18 victoryover the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night, he showed up Mike Tice on the sidelines, jumping up and stalking off the moment Tice sat down next to him in an attempt to, you know, coach him up and work out the speed at which players were being given to Cutler.

“I don’t have to sit by him the whole game, do I?” Cutler asked reporters afterward, in that special way of his. “I know you guys have to sell papers. It’s hard out there. But you can’t blow up every headline. Things happen during football games. Just because I walk off and go get water doesn’t mean much.”

Indeed, it wouldn’t — if some variation of this didn’t seem to happen publicly nearly every single week. On his weekly radio show, Cutler dismissed the criticism.

“They take a 10-second clip and blow it out of proportion,” Cutler said (via the Chicago Tribune). “It’s unfortunate these things get so much attention. It happens on a weekly basis with teams and players. … I don’t want to talk about it. …. If I yell on the sidelines, I get killed. If I don’t say anything, I get killed. It’s a no-win situation.

“I think at the end of the day there is so much competition in the media … it is what it is. Mike and I are good. He’s my guy and he has my full support.

“I don’t have to sit by him the whole game, do I?” Now that is funny!!

Cutler is just diverting attention away from what he did. He says something that isn't necessarily wrong, but still doesn't address what he did. Yes the media does blow up what happens on the sidelines sometimes. Yes players and coaches disagree with each other on the sidelines. But Cutler didn't just disagree, he disrespected a coach. Then blames the media for showing it on TV.

Cutler is absolutely right. Whether its a towel on Cam's head, or Cutler standing up, the media does its best to take something trivial and make it bigger in order to sell newspapers/ads.

I wish Cam could be as blunt as him with the media. He's well aware they cannot stand him because he refuses to kiss up to them.

With that said, by nearly all accounts Cutler is genuinely a prick.

I never like seeing a player upstage and disrespect a coach like that. I think he is a childish QB. I would bench him for the first series this Sunday if I were Lovie. With them beating Dallas and him acting that way, he will be bolder than ever with his antics if not reigned in soon.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
