The Facts:
QBs coach Matt Cavanaugh has been able to oversee Cutler for all of four offseason practices. But already, he likes what he sees. And hears. "Very impressed with Jay,” Cavanaugh said. “Very impressed. He’s borderline football brilliant. I think he gets it. I think he knows the game. I think he knows offensive schemes. I think he knows defenses.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Cavanaugh indicated the coaching staff has been open to Cutler’s input, and Cutler has had a say in what the new Bears offense will look like. "I think he’s embracing how we want to approach things,” he said. “We wanted his feedback. He’s been willing to do that. It’s a good working relationship now.” Cavanaugh, who has been in the NFL or in major college football for the past 40 years, rates Cutler’s arm as one of the best he ever has been around. In terms of other quarterbacks Cavanaugh has worked with, he puts Cutler’s arm in a class with Randall Cunningham’s, Joe Flacco’s and Phil Simms’. ... Now if they protect Cutler -- and get him to look at receivers not named Brandon Marshall on occasion, we might be onto something.
