Here's the preseason assessment of dabears from National Football Post
Truth.
Expecting more out of Cutler than what he’s shown thus far in his career is just nonsensical. Cutler is not a quarterback that is going to make other players around him better; he needs to operate in an offensive system that will hide his weaknesses and mitigate the disastrous mistakes that have plagued his career.
CHI OC Gase - Cutler smarter than I thought
Translation: I was under the impression Jay was a real Munson, but he's really just a dumb-ass.

only comment at the article currently reveals the delusion fans can live in:
Larsonite says:
The bears have talent and will be one of the surprise teams to make the playoffs. The coaching, game plans and team chemistry were the reasons why we had a horrible season. Imo, we’ll have a top 15 defense and an offense that can score at will when it’s rolling. Cutler is the big question but this year is his first last year. If he struggles, no one will want him on their team next year. That is the motivation I think settles him down for a very good season.
"... an offense that can score at will..."
I was laughing at "a top 15" defense"
I agree with "top 15 defense".
In the NFC.
I'm laughing at the notion that emotional pressure will settle Cutler down. That's like expecting Suh to keep it together when you untie his shoelaces.
You've gotta admit, Brandon Marshall can be a real force....oh, wait
Peter King's ass-kissery ramping up.
BOURBONNAIS, Ill.-Bear1: Fox/Cutler honeymoon so far. Fox: “Adam Gase has been great for him." Won’t ask Chi O to live/die on long ball.

BOURBONNAIS, Ill.-Bear2: Highly impressed w/new GM Ryan Pace. Smart, open-minded, worker bee. Got a chance to be a top NFL GM.

Bears practicing their kneel-down victory formation. Get used to it, folks. #RoadToSantaClara

there's optimism and then there's delusion. let's see where Campbell ends up six games in.
Pretty certain there's a tinge of sarcasm in that tweet.
A man's got to know his limitations.
Reporter to Jay Cutler: Does the lack of INTs in camp indicate that you'll be more efficient QB in regular season? Cutler: "You're funny."

I always thought in Chicago that was a kneel-down loser formation. And I already am used to it. Since 1993 the Packers are 33-13 vs. da Bears.
From a divisional standpoint. Aaron has not performed well against Chicago. He's only 11-3 with a rating of 109.8. He's played much better against Detroit and Minny. He needs to clean that up.
He's 31-9 against the division overall with a rating of 114.2. And he didn't finish 2 of those games.
And he wants to play 8 more years.
Thanks Ted.
Cutler is already a trainwreck and it's only preseason.
The defense generally regarded as the best in NFL history might be the only collection in Chicago that fully appreciates the fact Jay Cutler is the greatest Chicago QB of all time while secretly wishing like **** they had a chance to play against that turnover machine.
Jay Cutler doesn't care? Shocking!
I typically dismiss 99% of what StevenA and Skippy say on First Take, but that rant was ****ing hillarious.
And still Smokin' Jay don't care.
Bears GM Ryan Pace announces WR Kevin White will undergo surgery on shin and miss at least first 6 games.

Bears GM Ryan Pace says possibility Kevin White could miss entire season.

Meanwhile, Alshon Jeffery is in a walking boot and using crutches after he injured his calf in their preseason opener. Smokin Jay's #1 WR Week 1 might be Eddie Royal.
The Bears are looking poised to be a team fighting for the worst record in the NFL this season. Fans don't even get the excitement of seeing their high 1st round pick in action with White likely done for the year
High draft pick QB next spring.

I wish the Bears well.
Like about 7-7 against the rest of the League,

Whoa, I think you've just solved the Bears offensive woes. Move the teams CBs onto offense .
And make them wear different color jerseys than the rest of the offense.
I think the 1st Packer WR cut will be signed by da Bears before da Queens can sign him.
Let them fight it out.
I told my buddy we'd trade him a WR for Martellus Bennett.
He said...."YES! Let's do this! Jordy for MartySaurus."
I said, "No. I was thinking more like Myles White & an Old Milwaukee. I'll throw in a bag of chips."
Jeremiah Ratliff suspended 1st 3 games of the season for an earlier DUI the NFL announced. So appearently all appeals have been exhausted. That hurts an already bad D and evens things up a bit for the Packs D loss for the 1st game.
Greg Gabriel, former Bear scout is trying really really hard to convince you that the 2015 bears will be much better and that Jay has finally overcome being Jay
Thanks Satori. Love the pic in that link.
Who thinks Jay is a petulant twit?
That's weird, my computer shows this picture instead
Big things are in store for the Bears this year. Cutler has been working on his smile during the offseason.

Jay or Gay?
* Not to be insensitive, but, the photo screams...
The sad state of QB in the NFL: How many QBS are clearly better than Cutler?
Answer: not many.
Based on physical skills or leadership and mental stability?
Yes. Cutler is as physically talented as anyone, leadership is completely nebulous and mentally he's a honey badger. There is a dearth of great QBs in the league, and soon to be worse with Brady, Manning and Brees about done.
Is Cutler really that much worse than guys like (and including) Romo, Eli and Rivers?
I would say yes, but because of the severe personality issues. Those problems can sink an otherwise talented team.

Cliff Notes version:
"From the moment Cutler posed with Lovie Smith and Jerry Angelo for the first time at Halas Hall, the Bears have hired two new head coaches, two new general managers, and five offensive coordinators. Cutler has taken Chicago to the playoffs once, the same number of trips Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton delivered during their seasons as the team’s starting quarterback."
