Holmgren Sees Good Things for Cutler

The addition of new quarterback Jay Cutler has the entire league looking at the Chicago Bears differently, and the well-respected Mike Holmgren is now weighing in on what he thinks Cutler will be bringing to Chicago in 2009. He has room to talk, having worked with Brett Favre during his early days in the league.

Holmgren said, “”We played against Jay in Denver, it may have been his first start. He was a little wild, but he has really good ability. He can really throw it. And I didn’t begin to comment on how he’s developed and things like that because, but he went to the Pro Bowl. And he’s a young quarterback. And I know this, those guys are hard to find. They really are. If you have one then you have to cultivate it and build up a trust and ride that horse all the way. And it surprised me a little bit, to be honest. I think it’s a wonderful thing for the Bears. I think the Bears have always been a difficult team to play, and their defense has always been very, very strong. And they’ve always had some question marks over the years at quarterback, and this seems to have solved that problem. I expect it to be a very good thing for Chicago.”

See how right he is about the Bears next season with Chicago Bears tickets from StubHub.
