The Facts:
Jerry Angelo was the GM for the Bears when the team traded for Cutler prior to the 2009 season. Angelo was fired as Bears general manager following the 2011 season. In a piece written for TheSidelineView.com, Angelo graded the performance of every quarterback in the league during the 2013 season. Given his familiarity with Cutler during three seasons together in Chicago, Angelo’s critique of Cutler was particularly interesting. “Has all the physical tools, but inconsistent in the clutch. Mostly due to a lack of poise,” Angelo wrote.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Angelo continued: “He’s not comfortable reading defenses and consequently locks onto a favorite or pre-determined target, that may or may not be the right choice. The less he’s asked to see the better he is. A better half field general, than a full field one. ...” Despite some decent seasons from a statistical standpoint, the Bears have made the playoffs just once in five seasons with Cutler at the helm. And fantasy owners would tend to agree with Angelo's contention about lacking consistency in the clutch. The lack of poise? We've seen flashes of that. Still, the current regime in Chicago just
signed Cutler to a new seven-year deal in January. Clearly the team believes HC Marc Trestman can get Cutler's game dialed in.
