One team's garbage can be another team's treasure.
Jerrry Hughes and Bills fans agree.
Did Fran get a little carried away with himself, or is he foretelling Jay Cutler's future?
"This is a guy that teases his coaches with his powerful arm and all that stuff, but the bottom line, he's not a player," Tarkenton said. "And Chicago's gonna die keeping on hoping that Jay Cutler's gonna be that player.
"He's not going to be any different than what he's been. But there's such a scarcity of quarterbacks that people get a guy and just hope against hope because he's got one thing: a big, powerful arm. A big, powerful arm is not essential."
....
"That quarterback who's elite ... you've got to look at his intangibles," Tarkenton said. "Can he, at that moment, make plays when you need him to make plays, be the leader in the clubhouse, be the leader on the field, and the moment's not too big for him? Jay Cutler fails in all those."
Ouch. Don't tell 'em how you really feel, Franny.
Is Tark right, or was Jay Cutler the victim of Marc Trestman's offense?
How could anyone not trust Marc Trestman?
