Cutler Alienating Bears Fans?

[redneckrocker]

I don't like how this article trys to pass off Denver as a city without a storied franchise.

"this is not Denver"

I know Chicago has a storied past, but so does Denver. We've been to more Superbowls to have that storied past. The Bears are one year wonders, 1985 and 2007 is all they have to go on. Broncos have been to 4 Superbowls in the time Chicago has been to 2. I know there is the "Monsters of the Midway" mistique, but there is also the "Orange Crush" mistique. I think this author is trying to play us off as not a football city, BS!!

:go:

Mike Piazza was considered one of the worse people to get an autograph. I met the guy when I was younger during fan-days at Dodger Stadium before he was traded and he was the nicest guy to talk to, I have a few cards signed from him.

Eric Karros who was considered a 'fan friendly' baseball player after a half hour blew off the rest of the fan day pissing off the Dodger faithful.

So seriously, some fans can be total A-hats. Its all about the approach to the player. If your acting pushy and prody your gonna end up with nothing.

Kids at times can be overwhelming epically if they let loose on a player. I had to cover as Snoopy one time at Knotts god I hated every minute after the first two hours. Kids coming out of nowhere hitting, asking for high fives, pictures ect... it gets tiring to the point where you just dont want to do it. Thats why most of the people that are in those type of costumes in amusement parks are girls.

Is anyone surprised? He did the same thing in Denver. That's just the way he is. He always looked arrogant and unfriendly. As long as he delivers on the field...

[SheerCold]

I guess Jake Plummer is right, he is the next Jeff George.

[-Rod-]

As has been already mentioned, he did the same thing in Denver. He is boring off the field. Does not care about the fans. Does not care about press conferences. He just wants to play and be left alone. At least there he is only alienating the fans instead of the head coach and the owner.

what the hell did that have to do with the thread??
for one MCD is an idiot and will have the same fate as mangini and crennel. you guys "HAD" a rediculous awsome offense even with out a fricken running game. You are now a system team. you will not have a high flying offense which means your defense has to come up big with your rookie saviors or you guys are done for. Moreno will not be able to offset a 4500 yard passing season by cutler. and orton will be safe but will not have anywhere near that kind of production. the balance will keep you in games but thats about it. you guys will go 8-8 or 7-9 maybe

That's all we got with Cutler,so how are we worse?

[Soothsayer]

I find it a little shocking anybody would suggest Cutler didn't know what he was getting into.

Cutler grew up in the area and desired the Bears tradition. Arguably much of that tradition exists within the fanbase.

There's a reason Saturday Night Live had skits examining the lengths Bears fans went to in their deification of players and personnel.

So I don't want to hear this is all a shock for Cutler. I know most of the media hype suggests that Cutler was essentially an innocent bystander in the trade. This is a false suggestion judging by the rumors that swirled here in Chicago long before Cutler was ever on the market. It was known here that Cutler intended on coming to Chicago.

Being a system team worked pretty well in NE. But I do agree on the 8-8 thing. That is my prediction and I think that is a decent total for a rebuilding team that has completely restructured the whole organization. Give them a couple of seasons to completely integrate new personnel and give the players experience and this team will be back to the Golden Age of the Broncos.

Whatever, Bear Fan, you are going to learn soon enough that Jay Cutler is one gigantic mirage...you think you see a Championhsip calibur franchise QB in him, but it's all an illusion.

McDaniels is no dummy when it comes to QB's, and after working with him for about two weeks, suddenly wanted to trade for Matt Cassel out of the blue.

Jay Cutler's nickname should be 'fools gold'.

Good luck, Bear fan, you will need it.

Loool, yep.

That's exactly it... Cutler isn't good. At all.

now it's someone else's matter.......

Yes it is. I certainly hope our new QBs will be eager to integrate in the community and appreciate the fans they have.

[SheerCold]

Shouldn't this go in the other teams forum? Since, Cutler is no longer a Bronco.

[CanDB]

I remember reading stories similar to this about Cutler a couple of years ago. I didn't pay much attention to them, because I was a big fan, and I just figured it was more of an exception than the norm for him......

Now I'm not sure, and now it's someone else's matter.......

[MindField]

ya well if you were part of a blockbuster trade where all of the sudden everyone in chicago wants a piece of you i wouldnt sign everyones either. im sure hes hit up for autographs everywhere he goes. its an article quoting instances of retarded fans that cant figure out why he actually doesnt want to sign you an autograph and take it personally. and i can guarentee you that that fan at wrigley field will be watching the sunday night opening game at Lambeau field rooting for cutler

edit: and it looks like everyone is on the same page. lol thats what happens when you dont read the other posts first. my bad

I dont know what happened there at that MLB game. In a way I think Cutler is not totally in control of his personality -- or what exactly he wants it to be. Honestly, it takes a certain type of person ( taking physical skill and talent out of it ) to be a SuperStar. Some crash and burn -look at Britney or Robert Downy JR. Some thrive -John Elway Mick Jagger Robert Plant. I hope Cutler doesn't lose his way without his father figures -Shanny and the other coaches. As the article says, it's too early in his tenure to know if that's how he actually is.

Frankly, I think a lot of Cutler's apparent arrogance comes from his insecurity. It's a shame he doesn't seem to show much diplomatic skill; To QBs it's probably a nice skill to have.

On the flipside, I can understand wanting to enjoy the MLB game and not have to sign autographs or whatnot. A diplomatic Cutler could have said or made it known, I will be available to sign autographs on such and such a date, today I'm watching baseball.

I'm not going to sit at my computer and lay judgment on the guy when I know for damn sure, I would find aspects of being a Star unbearable. He might not be the coolest most generous guy, but he sure can spin it.

Good Luck Jay
