Turner Sings Cutler’s Praises

It has been awhile since the Chicago Bears added new quarterback Jay Cutler, but that doesn’t mean the buzz has died down around the Pro Bowler. Offensive coordinator Ron Turner is already licking his chops at the possibility of having Cutler at his disposal in 2009. Turner had nothing but rave reviews about Cutler, both about his athletic ability and his character.

Turner said, “We will have some designed movement plays. We’re moving the pocket with him, and then he has the ability to create things on his own when it’s not there-if the coverage isn’t what we wanted or if there’s a protection breakdown. That’s something the receivers will have to get used to and something we’ll work on definitely more than what we’ve done… His arm strength is rare. You don’t see that very often, and his ability to come in and learn [is impressive].  Really it’s everything-his demeanor around the guys, the way he’s been accepted, the way he’s handled himself coming in and saying, ‘I’m just one of the guys,’ yet he’s also showed great leadership.”

Turner helped turn quarterback Kyle Orton into s viable starter last season, and he will surely have even more success with Cutler. Be there next season with Chicago Bears tickets from StubHub.
