ESPN writer Rick Reilly wrote an article two days ago about Bears QB Jay Cutler. He didn’t have many good things to say about Jay Cutler as a person.

No one really has anything nice to say about Cutler when it comes to his personality.

The only people that really do are his current teammates in Chicago. Teammates like TE Greg Olsen, RB Matt Forte and WR Devin Hester all seem to enjoy Cutler’s company on the field and off it.

Cutler’s attitude on the field and in press conferences might be why people don’t like the guy.

TE Greg Olsen had this to say about Cutler: “It’s funny to me how people form an opinion of a guy who’ve never even met him.”

Rick Reilly basically bashes Jay Cutler’s personality in this entire article and again I can understand where he is coming from a little bit. I honestly think Reilly is just trying to stir up some controversy. He knows people will read his article that really bashes the Bears star quarterback.

I have never met Jay Cutler or seen him play live, but he seems to know how to carry himself as an individual. He might seem like a jerk sometimes, but he probably is nice guy behind all of this fame. He is only 27 years old, he probably has a lot of growing up to do.

That first step to maturing is tomorrow afternoon against the Seahawks. We’ll see if Jay Cutler has what it takes to lead this team through the playoffs.

In the meantime check out Reilly’s bashing of Cutler, here.
