What other QB does Jay Cutler remind you of, and why?

[BroncoBuff]

I know it's way early in his career, but I'm so cranked up about Cutler and this season, I had to start this poll. There are not enough threads around here right now anyway.

Make your choice, and then explain WHY.

[RkyMtnThunder]

I picked Brett Farve

Only cause of the gun. He hasnt played enough for me to see other aspects as much as that friggin cannon of his.

Can he scramble like Elway? I havent seen alot of that yet, again only 5 games so my pick was based purely off arm strength

[BroncoBuff]

As much as it pains me to say, I vote Favre. Both are mobile but not big runners, both are great leaders, and both have high-caliber guns. Cutler also exhibits (so far) a similar zest for improvisation.

But of course, one big diference is Cutler is 100% ALL business from Day 1, whereas Favre was a goofup early on.

Yeah, his poise is somethin else for a kid his age. But I couldnt think of a QB who's rep was built off poise.

That rocket he has (drool)

cant wait!

Bring it b*tches!

[orinjkrush]

tommy maddox. lots of hype. not much shown on the field yet. except one incredibly beautiful long bomb.

[Dr. Broncenstein]

How about a crucial 99 yard touchdown drive in the snow against Cincy? Or the earlier 50 yard touchdown strike to Walker on a busted play?

[Inkana7]

How about a crucial 99 yard touchdown drive in the snow against Cincy? Or the earlier 50 yard touchdown strike to Walker on a busted play?

Or 90 yards against SF to tie the game....with the playoffs on the line....after suffering a concussion.

That TD to Sheffler was a thing of beauty. Very Favre-esque. Went pretty much between the hands of two Niners defenders.

[broncogary]

Dan Marino, because of the quick release.

[MechanicalBull]

I know one thing I bet John Madden sees a lot of Brett Favre in him. ;D

[broncs2bowl]

Jay Cutler has so much in him....the ability to come back and make plays in Crucial times(John Elway), the strong arm(Farve and Elway), Quick Release(Marino), poise(Elway and Manning), determination(Manning), accuracy(Marino)

The only thing I see missing from him that he should work on is his pocket presence, he has a lot of poise, but it seems he doesnt have the pocket precense of where defenders are like some of the greats like Elway, Young and McNabb do/did

Cutler is going to be great. (and it will be rly fun watching Cutler, Young and Leinart being compared throughout their careers and competing against eachother. I am rly exited)

Wow - that's a lot to have to live up to.... I am jazzed about Cutler this year and looking forward to a full year. But... I'm trying to be a realist too and not expect the second coming, in particular in his second year.

I voted for Elway... He needs to show the same will and determination to win that Elway had and then I'll be absolutely stoked.

[ludo21]

He is himself, he will make his own name for himself soon enough ;D

He will once again make mistakes this year, but if we fail to make the playoffs again, ill be mad. He is our key to success this year.

[-Slap-]

Right now, the guy he reminds me of the most is Jim Kelly.

They're both about the same size and built like linebackers. They were both two way stars in high school. Cutler led his school to a 15-0 record and the state championship as a senior by excelling at safety as well as QB. Joe Paterno even recruited Kelly to play linebacker.

They each have extremely strong arms and, like Kelly, Cutler relies on his arm strength too much at times. Each of them can run, but prefer to beat you from the pocket. Kelly was a tough guy, missing only 12 games in an 11 year NFL career, plus his years setting passing records in the USFL. Cutler seems like he's cut from that same rugged cloth as well.

I would love it if he turned out near Jim Kelly, except he should win a super bowl and not just appear. As for the guy that said i am expecting too much, I am just saying he has a lot of the tools of some of the greats which should help him. I am not expecting the next Elway or Montana or Manning or Kelly, Im just stating he has all the tools

[broncs2bowl]

Just wondering who was the person that said he reminded him of McNabb and why?

[SouthStndJunkie]

I would have to say a young Brett Favre.

The arm strength, gun slinger mentality, and ability to thread the ball in traffic are all similar.

[Maximus]

Jim Zorn

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

I can see that, but he has plenty to learn before comparing him to any great QB. BTW- I would put Kelly near the top of any all under-rated list. He was damn good and stained only by the fact that his team did not win a Super Bowl.

[MechanicalBull]

I say he reminds me of Bubby Brister. I mean look they both have the jerseys, helmets, they both wear #6 ROFL! In all seriousness if he can turn out anywhere near the QBs listed in the poll than I will be very happy.
http://espn-att.starwave.com/media/photo/1999/may/19/s_brister.jpg http://cache.viewimages.com/xt/72980135.jpg?v=1&g=editorial_na&s=1

[backup qb]

favre. gunslinger through and through.

[Maverick7]

I would compare Cutler to a combination of Aikman and Favre. We I see Cutler in the pocket, his stature and pocket awareness reminds me of Aikman. They are both classic dropback QBs. On the other hand, his arm rivals that of Favre's arm. Cutler also has that kind of swagger and gunslinger mentality that Favre had. Any great QB has to have that "I will put the team on my back" mentality, and I think Cutler has that.

[Drek]

I chose Young. Everyone underrates Cutler's athletic ability but early on in college he was an option QB who did pretty well for himself in the SEC, no small task, and was offered scholarships to major programs to play safety or other positions. He's got moves that'll surprise you. Young had a good arm as well, it wasn't an absolute cannon but it was a big step up from Montana's.

In all actuality I'd forcast his style into more of a Young/Kelly hybrid. Slap's comparison is very good. The career acolades, championships and such, require a whole team, but Cutler has the skills to be a top QB, which is of course why we took him at #11.

[Play2win]

I hate to say it... No, I don't.

ELWAY...

He releases the ball and he is strong and a STUD


He IS the next ELWAY...

Everbody else wants to be a wussy...

I will go ahead and call it...

JAY CUTLER IS THE NEXT ELWAY....


CUT IS ELWAY...

[Play2win]

favre. gunslinger through and through.

I wish clemens, er, I mean FARVE, would just die off...

[Play2win]

PHUCK YOU for even mentioning the "A" word...

[Popps]

Marino.

Not quite the arm Marino had, but similar release and a lot of heat on his throws.

More mobile than Marino, but a little too early to tell if he's got Marin's pocket presence. (Ability to feel the rush, etc.)

[Willynowei]

Farve in terms of ability.

But in the little bit that he's played he seems to like to loft the ball as much as he likes to laser it. Farve just lasers it.

[Dedhed]

He reminds me of the next greatest NFL quarterback. I think when it's all said and done people will be asking "Who's the next Jay Cutler". There's an air about this kid that makes me think he's going to go down as one of the best to have played the game, and it's not his arm that makes me think that. It's his persona, and the way he goes about things.

[Play2win]

[Play2win]

A Deep Ball is all Cutller has tallent for??!??

I think he can fire a quick out like nobody's business...

just check the brandon marshall catch and release in the seatle streams and rivers of Washington State.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Terry Bradshaw.

[NFLBRONCO]

Well if Cutler reminds everybody of Favor at least we have an org that will add weapons to help him. As tired of all the Farve stuff lately I do agree GB has never tried to load up on more talent makes me wonder if they'd really prefer he'd retire.

[lookin' glass]

One difference I've noticed between Elway and Cutler is the escapablity factor. Elway, particularly early in his career was the best I've seen. Head on a swivel, eyes in the back of his head, whatever, Elway used that it to keep defenses off balance and then unleash his arm from anywhere on the field. To me, Cutler is a more accurate passer who seems to focus down field more. The concussion hit in the SF game he was looking, looking and was grabbed before he could move.
I'd go with Favre also, with Marinos quick release.

[epicSocialism4tw]

Cutler doesnt play like Elway. Elway was a jazz musician out there. Elway's pocket smarts and athleticism were second to none in history.

Cutler is more of a pocket passer. Someone mentioned Jim Kelly and I think that that is more like it than Elway, but it doesnt tell the whole story.

I would say that after a year, Cut reminds me more of Marino than Elway. Cut doesnt look like he's a scrambler except in some situations.

I think that Cut will put up more traditional pocket-passer numbers. He's just too bulky to get out and show the kind of agility that Elway had.

I think that Cut is more like McNabb than any of the players mentioned. He has a similar style and a similar attitude. Cut's not an energy player like Favre. He's more of a thinker than Favre like McNabb. At the same time, he has the potential to be a thinker and executioner like Manning or Marino with the toughness/size/pocket presence of McNabb.

[lookin' glass]

AngryL, that's a much better way of putting it than my befuddled attempt.

[epicSocialism4tw]

He is himself, he will make his own name for himself soon enough



This is the right idea.

Let's establish something simple, but seemingly hard to understand, right from the beginning:

Cutler IS NOT and WILL NOT BE John Elway. Ever. Never. Not at any point now or in the future.

He will be Jay Cutler.

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

He is much smarter than Bradshaw. As a matter of fact, my Labrador is smarter than Bradshaw.

[Play2win]

This is the right idea.

BULLSH!T

Yeah, I met Bradshaw and his family awhile back. He's not the brightest bulb in the bunch. He wasnt too bad of a guy though. I thought about tackling him and getting my butt kicked just so I could say that I sacked Terry Bradshaw. ;D

I'm a fairly big dude and he dwarfed me. He's still in decent shape for an oldie. I was surprised at his size.

[Atlas]

That's a good choice. When Denver drafted him I thought he was like McNab but after seeing him play he just doesn't seem to have the pocket awareness to be a great scrambler. I think he most reminds me of a Carson Palmer.

[epicSocialism4tw]

That's a good choice. When Denver drafted him I thought he was like McNabe but after seeing him play he just doesn't seem to have the pocket awareness to be a great scrambler. I think he most reminds me of a Carson Palmer.

McNabb isnt a scrambler. He's an opportunistic scrambler, but he's really just a pocket passer that's hard to get ahold of. I have a good idea why people think of McNabb as a scrambler, but its just not the case. Its a misconception.

[epicSocialism4tw]

BULLSH!T

You're right. He wont be Jay Cutler.

Thanks for the info I didn't know that I thought of him as a Mike Vick QB. I guess that is why you are the Information Minister. Actually Bob and yourself are battling it out for the biggest chump except Bob showed up after the mavs loss.

Now excuse me while I go shoot myself for saying something decent about boob.

[BroncoMan4ever]

i see him more in the Aikman mold, great leader good in the pocket but Cutler has a stronger arm

[freak6]

x 2.

I also would say Brady with a little better arm.

[Killericon]

Favre. He's got a rocket arm, but the thing that most remind me of him is that when a young Favre made a mistake, they seemed incomprehibly stupid. When a young Favre made a good play, it seemed like he was going to be the best QB of all time. That's why he reminds me of Favre.

[azbroncfan]

x 2.

I also would say Brady with a little better arm.



How can he remind you of Brady when he hasn't won anything and is much more athletic?

[Paladin]

I said "Other". He will be Jay Cutler.

I have no compunctions in simply being happy to have the chance to watch him become Jay Cutler.

[crazyhorse]

Every one of those QBs has broken .500.

Do you have a list of QBs that have yet to break .500?

Is there a bench pressing wing in the Hall of Fame?

[Swedish Extrovert]

Bubby Bristier, cause the number 6

[watermock]

Noone has a bigger man crush on Jay than mock, that is lofty company. But hopefully he can make his own signature. Anyone that didn't see Elway on that bomb to Walker is blind. He's similiar to Farve only has a brain or did before Mr. Matador against SF. Jim Kelly is also a fair comparison.

As noted, his pocket presence needs to improve. I honestly think as he can go thru his progressions faster he can grow those eyes in the back of his head. At least I hope so.

[MileHighMagic]

His size, poise, and arm-strength always reminded me of Carson Palmer, who I think is the #2 QB in the league. I think he is a lot like John in many ways also but that is the last time you'll here me mention it.

[watermock]

Man...I hope that his buddy Scheff isn't worse than thought. Foot injuries scare the crap out of me. Thank God we snagged Graham. He's got about 15 weeks before the regular season. I'm having troubled sleep because of Little Willie and Hixon. If Hixon pans out, this might be considered the best draft ever. There was a hell of a draft in the 70's that created the Original Crush tho. All I know is we had a series of bad drafts till the last three years.

Hopefully, Bowlen can hold the Lombardi this year and exclaim "This one's for DWill and Nash!"

[SoCalBronco]

I'm having troubled sleep because of Little Willie and Hixon. If Hixon pans out, this might be considered the best draft ever.

In one of Shanny's PCs during the first OTA period last week, he went out of his way to praise Hixon and said he looks like he has a "big time future here". So it would appear that he is playing well after recovering from his injury.


....Ofcourse, Shanny also said Watts was really impressing last summer in the minicamps/OTAs too. :)

[watermock]

Shanahan the master manipulator. The more he yells at you the more important he considers you.

Praise is for the feeble minded lacking confidence. Watts is the perfect example.

Hopefully Hixon is getting a little of both.

[DBroncos4life]

Palmer becuase this is a new age for QBs.

[epicSocialism4tw]

I
....Ofcourse, Shanny also said Watts was really impressing last summer in the minicamps/OTAs too. :)


Well, at least Hixon has two funtional hands. I feel for Watts. The guy was really close to being a millionaire.

[Denver Crush]

I think Cutlers release looks a lot like Favres, but Cutler is much more accurate from what I saw last year. I think you can compare Cutlers toughness with the likes of Elway and Favre as well.

[Atlas]

McNabb isnt a scrambler. He's an opportunistic scrambler, but he's really just a pocket passer that's hard to get ahold of. I have a good idea why people think of McNabb as a scrambler, but its just not the case. Its a misconception.

Well, maybe scrambler is the wrong word but McNabb runs with the ball very well and he avoids pressure very well. Call that what you want. I saw Cutler in the clips running the option etc. I thought he was like that but he really isn't. More like Carson Palmer.

[SoCalBronco]

Well, at least Hixon has two funtional hands. I feel for Watts. The guy was really close to being a millionaire.

I don't think it was ever really his hands. I think a slump turned into a big time mental issue for him, which he didnt overcome. He also had an annoying habit of catching with his body (even at Marshall), which led to alot of unnecessary drops. I don't think the whole "Claw" thing was a real issue, it was that same "Claw" that he set a national record with, catching 91 balls as a sophomore and then 70 odd balls back to back as a Jr and Sr.

[Ugly Duck]

Whoa! Heavy duty....... so Jay Cutler has the poise and determination of Manning, the quick release and accuracy of Marino, the strong arm of Farve, and the ability of John Elway to come back and make plays in crucial times! Wow! So wutchur sayin' is.... he's the bestest most fantastic QB ever to set foot on the gridiron in the entire history of football! WOW!!

Yep. AFC WEST beaware. There is a new Sherriff in town and his name is Jay.

[BroncoBuff]

I'm surprised more people didn't go for Roger Staubach or Terry Bradshaw. They were #2 and #3 for me. Bradshaw's no genius, but I was comparing their games, and Bradshaw and Cutler are quite similar actually, imo. Staubach too. Roger's arm was not near as strong as those two guys, but his icy indifference - those eyes constantly upfield when all is falling apart around him - reminds me of Cutler.

Gotta say, though ... Slap is right about Jim Kelly. They are very similar too. I'm changing half my Favre vote to Kelly.

But I think Jay is totally different than John Elway. John was a magnet for the eyes ... his personality was so huge, that whenever he was on the field, it was virtually impossible to look at anybody else. His leadership and larger-than-life presence made him unquestionably the most important player on the field at all times. Cutler though (like Staubach) has that icy indifference, like he's just the main cog in an 11-cog machine. Unlike Elway, I think Cutler will have a lotta WRs in the Pro Bowl.

I'm surprised anybody picked Marino - and especially Brady. Too different to mention I thought. Yes, Cutler has a quick release like Marino, but most of those guys had quick releases ... maybe not Favre, but McNabb and Aikman sure do - and John's release was quicker than he was goiven credit for.

[Circle Orange]

agree with the Jim Kelly pick. Don't know if his hands are as big as Jimbo's though...that dude's got some pan sized mitts.

[toad]

I went with Favre (specifically a young Favre).

Like others I see the similiarties as they both have rocket arms and they both have, sometimes to fault, the gun-slinger mentality.

[Traveler]

I agree with the Jim Kelly comparisons since the both are physically comparable. But I'm going a different direction and say he reminds me of Joe Namath. Doing so only because the throwing motion and follow through are eerily similar.

When McNabb came into the league he ran all over the place and was a LOT skinnier...he put on weight to take the pounding so its ironic that he's still injury prone. Best laid plans and all that...

A lot of these guys run because they can't DO anything else with any skill. A few hits in the legs will prove a lot of frauds out there.

I've studied Namath's throwing motion, and I don't think Cutler's is like it. Namath's is comprable to Elway, they both put their shoulders and elbows into it, almost spinning their body at the end of a throw.

Cutler's is a lot like Marinos, I believe, although not as quick. But who's is?

[Kaylore]

I think -Slap- was pretty close with Jim Kelly in terms of body type and his play history. However I think in terms of play style and arm Cutler reminds of Unitas in his play style. Check it out:

http://www.johnnyunitas.com/rollin.JPGhttp://i.a.cnn.net/si/2006/writers/peter_king/02/28/mailbag/p1_cutler2.jpg

Their release is identical and they both were kind of gunslingers. Also, Unitas and Cutler are better scramblers than Kelly - we just haven't seen Cutler run much yet.

:thanku:

[BroncoBuff]

Interesting to bump and recall this off-season timekiller thread this week ... the #1 choice overwhelmingly here on the Mane as a Cutler comparison was Brett Favre!





Personally, my opinion is Cutler is a BRADSHAW/KELLY hybrid.

What's your prediction for Monday, BroncoBuff? I've learned to throw all my trust behind you on all non-Kyle Johnson related predictions. :thumbs:

[fontaine]

First and foremost, I'm just thankful that he's not a bust like so many of our recent first round picks.

He's shown good maturity in being able to handle complex NFL defenses and controlling the offense in third down situations. Combine that with the style of hurry up offense we've been running a lot this year and it shows me that mentally this kid has demonstrated what it takes to succeed in the NFL.

The biggest question about Cutler after the draft was how he would be able to handle a complex west coast type offense under shanahan and I'm glad that he is doing that.

Obviously he's got a long ways to go yet, but it's impressive that he's been able to generate so many passing yards without a true number 1 WR.

[Rohirrim]

Until he stops turning ball over so much he's reminding me of Plummer.

And I guess everybody's too young to remember Terry Bradshaw ("That loud, bald and funny guy actually played the game?), but to me, Cutler is a lot like Terry Bradshaw. A Bradshaw/Jim Kelly hybrid.

[Cito Pelon]

Cutler is his own man. He reminds me of quite a few QB's in his dropbacks, throwing motion, and runs, but overall he has his own game.

[Rock Chalk]

Well if Jay ends up like Favre we have a ****ty QB on our hands according to some of the retards around here.

Me, I would be freakin ecstatic is Cutler ended up like Favre. I see more of the Duke in him than Favre personally though. Its the throwing motion I think, particularly on long bombs.

[Cito Pelon]

Dan Marino, because of the quick release.

Quick release??????? That's the last comparison I would make. Quick recognition maybe, but quick release??????

Whatever. For a QB with 11 games under his belt, Cutler sure has a lot of game winning drives. That stands out real fast in comparisons.

[fontaine]

Me, I would be freakin ecstatic is Cutler ended up like Favre. I see more of the Duke in him than Favre personally though. Its the throwing motion I think, particularly on long bombs.

Nine days ago:

At least the team was competitive with Jake under center. 41-3 ass kicking at home from the QB who was gonna save our offensive woes hahaha I think you people overestimated the career loser from Vanderbilt. Cutler is a hell of a lot closer to Jeff George than John Elway.

You people are ****ing stupid. You are really being stupid. You are being more illogical than you were with the whole Griese debacle Blue. Or should I start digging up you and Taco's moronic football takes during the Griese years for all the post-Griese posters to see just how stupid you two can be?

Tell everyone they're ****ing stupid again Alec.

:rofl:

I'd say Y A Tittle except he has hair.

Really I'd say Elway without the drinking problem and for right now without the leadership skills of Elway.

Marino.

Not quite the arm Marino had, but similar release and a lot of heat on his throws.

More mobile than Marino, but a little too early to tell if he's got Marin's pocket presence. (Ability to feel the rush, etc.)

Similar release?

[Cito Pelon]

Well if Jay ends up like Favre we have a ****ty QB on our hands according to some of the retards around here.

Me, I would be freakin ecstatic is Cutler ended up like Favre. I see more of the Duke in him than Favre personally though. Its the throwing motion I think, particularly on long bombs.

I hope Cutler's career doesn't end up like Favre's.

[Punisher]

I say he reminds me of Bubby Brister. I mean look they both have the jerseys, helmets, they both wear #6 ROFL! In all seriousness if he can turn out anywhere near the QBs listed in the poll than I will be very happy.

Alec - for whatever it's worth, put the brakes on your Anti-Cutler wagon now. You're gonna be painted with the "Cutler-hater" brush forever if you don't take corrective action pretty quick. And forever is a long time, you know.

Remember: Elway's first 12 starts in the league were one HELLUVA LOT worse than Jay's. A MILLION TIMES WORSE!

Quick release??????? That's the last comparison I would make. Quick recognition maybe, but quick release??????

Whatever. For a QB with 11 games under his belt, Cutler sure has a lot of game winning drives. That stands out real fast in comparisons.

Because in the NFL these days, every obscure and ridiculous stat is brought out and bean counted as proof of talent and/or ability.

Physically the way he moves I'd say Big Ben with a stronger arm. Maybe with a dash of Donovan McNabb.

[Raiders Rock]

Jeff Garcia with a better arm

True, but let's not kid ourselves with these comparisons. Elway had EYE POPPING talent and it was just a matter of time, everyone knew it. Jay needs to settle in and find himself. The team has some holes right now so it may take time. I think he's more of a pocket passer than John and not nearly as athletic or instinctive. But he has an arm, and that buys you a lot of space in the NFL.

[Broncomutt]

Chad Pennington. Alot of hope and promise, moments of brilliance, but ultimately will never live up to what he could be.

****, 13 points and people are comparing him to Favre, Montana and all the other greats??!!

[Meck77]

I don't know we're averaging 17 points per game with a sad total of 119 on the season. Ranks us damn near the bottom of the entire league. Take your pick of any of 20 or so QBs over the last 10 years to compare him to at this point in his career.
