“[Cutler] throws one pass, he’s a Hall of Famer,” Kiper says. "I’ve seen the media put him in the Hall of Fame. I had to run to the bathroom quick. It was making me ill. I’ve been hearing this overhype.

“This guy was overhyped at the combine, he was overhyped at Senior Bowl week, he’s been overhyped before he was drafted. The media, they love Jay Cutler. Jay Cutler can do no wrong. I’ve been saying he’s overrated since day one. Everyone’s been pounding their chests saying, ‘Oh, I love Jay Cutler, I’m a genius.’ They have egg on their face now.”

“[Cutler] makes throws that leave you scratching your head, which I said on draft day when he was picked. Yeah, he’s got a strong arm, but my daughter knew he had a strong arm. She could’ve written that report.”

“Jeff George had a great arm, and Jeff George had a lot of great games in this league, and people were putting Jeff George in the HOF early in his career,” Kiper says. “So I’m just telling you, this is ridiculous.”

Kiper being a little more skeptical of Cutler than others. Ron Jaworski just raved about the guy during the draft. I thought at the time, that the thing about him is that those that didn’t like him thought he shouldn’t go so high because he was more of a project than the others. Now, it seems, that he was polished enough for the NFL, but doesn’t have the ability to correct his flaws. Kiper saw him as late first, early second. I also don’t remember him criticizing the Broncos too much for the pick at the time, which would have been a reach by his standards. I think that’s because he’s a believer that if a team needs a franchise QB than any place in the first round is good to pick one, if they think that guy is it. So, he was critical of Cutler as a player, but not the Broncos for the pick.
