Jay Cutler Man Crush: It's happening

Oh no, my Cutler man crush is already starting. Wayne Drehs of ESPN Chicago put together these great replies by Cutler from a recent Q&A.

"Anytime a team wants to make a trade like that and give up what [the Bears] gave up, there's going to be a lot of pressure and a lot of high expectations," Cutler said Wednesday. "And I welcome it. It's going to be fun. It's going to be a good challenge."

When one fan asked whether he had started to develop a hatred for the Packers, Cutler laughed and then said, "I've never really liked them." When another fan wanted to know whether he had begun recording a new "Super Bowl Shuffle," he quipped, "Orlando [Pace] is in the process of choreographing that whole deal. We're just waiting for him to finalize it."

Then there was the little boy who wanted to know how many touchdowns Cutler plans to throw this season. "How many do you want?" Cutler responded, knowing his career high is 25. "Thirty," the boy said. "We can probably get you 30," Cutler said. "I don't think that's going to be a problem."

When one fan began asking whether a quarterback makes his receivers better or vice versa, Cutler stopped the fan before he had a chance to finish. "You're worried about our wide receivers a little bit? Let me put you at ease," Cutler said, before explaining how the Broncos' Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal were relative unknowns before their arrival in Denver. "Receiving-wise, we've got what we need here. You don't need to worry about it."

When asked by a female fan Sunday about his impression of Chicago women thus far, the quarterback-turned-rock star didn't skip a beat. "Good city. Good women. I'm single, so I could get in a little bit of trouble."

I love this man. Finally, our star player isn't a robot with no personality (read Urlacher).
