Jay Cutler: It Begins

Sorry, no baseball posts here. But who cares about baseball when you have the Hawks in the playoffs and Jay Cutler in a Bears uniform?

Here are some quotes taken about Cutler.

'I've never been around an arm like this,'' marveled offensive coordinator Ron Turner, who is not prone to such grand statements.

''Yeah, no [kidding],'' Olsen said when asked if there was some mustard on the throws. ''Once you get adjusted [to the arm strength], it's all the same pretty much. You just have to get your eyes around that much faster and expect it.''

"You just have to get used to catching a ball that comes that hard," said Davis. "It comes fast; it's on you real quick. You've got to get your head around. Once you get used to running routes with him and catching the ball from him, it gets a little bit easier. But he throws the ball pretty hard and the heat is still on the ball 20 yards down the field. It's not like you're [just] five yards away from him and it's hot."

"He's going to make us a lot better," said Hester. "Some of the things Jay tells me ... I wish I could put that in the playbook. Instead of having one window open, he gives you a second option. So if something is not there [with the called play], there could be something else before the play ends. That's the type of quarterback he is.

"Everybody knows that Jay has a strong arm and that's real important. He is not only strong with it, he is very accurate. At the end of the day, when you need a big play, you can always depend on me. That's the kind of receiver that I try to carry myself as. Just make big plays, you know."

Ahh, it begins.
