Dungy Unsure About Cutler

If new Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler lives up to all of the expectations placed on him this season, it will also serve a little crow for former Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy to chow down on. Dungy recently voices his doubts that Cutler will be a top-notch quarterback for the Bears on his first day at his new job with Football Night America.

Dungy said, “[The Bears] took a risk [trading for Cutler]. I think they took that risk specifically with beating the Green Bay Packers in mind. I really think Chicago gave up a lot to get a quarterback who they believe is going to be the final piece of the puzzle. But I am not sure he has won enough to merit that yet… He is a very talented guy who can throw the ball very well. But quarterbacking is so much about leadership and so much about doing things under pressure. There is going to be a lot of pressure on him. … We’ll see about his maturity level.”

If Cutler needed a little more motivation to succeed in Chicago, there it is. Hopefully he will take Dungy’s comments and use them as fuel to come out with rockets blazing. See him with Chicago Bears tickets from StubHub.
