- Jay Cutler was brought to Chicago billed as a once-in-a-generation talent.
The Bears gave up a king's ransom — their starting quarterback, two first-round draft picks and a third-rounder — to acquire Cutler from the Broncos in 2009. He was supposed to be everything Rex Grossman wasn't — big, strong, athletic and as accurate with the deep ball as anyone.
Along the way something hasn't clicked.
Cutler's starting record (18-16) is worse for the Bears than the man he replaced Kyle Orton (21-12) and the former first-round draft pick, Grossman (19-12), in a similar number of starts.
An offensive line with more holes than a donut shop and receivers with concrete hands, but the Bears are still favored by 6 to 7 points.
