By BY MIKE MULLIGAN Staff Reporter Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner said he's not buying the concept of Jay Cutler as a Not Ready For Prime Time Player despite evidence to the contrary.

By BY BRAD BIGGS bbiggs@suntimes.com In a sign of how difficult things have become in the Bears' world, the beleaguered team stunned a network giant Wednesday by rejecting NBC's request for prime-time access to coach Lovie Smith, quarterback Jay Cutler and general manager Jerry Angelo.

By Brad Biggs With the Bears pulling off the blockbuster trade for Cutler, now the McNabb-to-the-Bears stories can die, right? The man who benched McNabb, coach Andy Reid, wasn't going to address the matter when asked what goes into the decision to sit your starting quarterback.

By Jake Perper Former Bears quarterback Rex Grossman is currently the backup to Matt Schaub in Houston, but that doesn’t mean his father doesn’t still watch the Chicago Bears. His father Dan quickly defended Jay Cutler and compared it to how Rex was in his time with the Bears.

By Jake Perper ESPN: #23 (Last week: 19) Pro Football Weekly: #22 (Last week: 18) Fox Sports: #23 (Last week: 19) CBS Sports: #20 (Last week: 19) Analysis: “You have to start to wonder about Jay Cutler. He’s trying to do too much. Where’s Matt Forte? They are a playoff long shot now.”

By Lorraine Perla For last couple of weeks, Buccaneers have been so competitive but they have not played a defense any where as Saints did. Minnesota 27, Seattle 13: Through out the year, Bears did not beat any powerful team though they won in Week Two. I guess Jay Cutler is the secret weapon for the Eagles.

By Brad Biggs Not surprisingly, there are Minnesota Vikings leading or among the leaders at many positions. Returner Devin Hester, 3rd Quarterback Jay Cutler is not in the top five. The leading NFC quarterbacks are: Drew Brees, Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, Eli Manning and Matt Ryan.

Here’s an interesting take from my ESPN’s Gene Wojciechowski, whose work also appears over on ESPN Chicago. Wojciechowski wonders if there is a point where Bears coach Lovie Smith will hold quarterback Jay Cutler accountable for his NFL-high 17 interceptions:

By Stephen Rhodes Sunday vs. Philadelphia Eagles The Bears lose if: The “Bad Cutler” throws picks. The Packers have success against Bears tight end Greg Olsen. The Bears lose if: The Vikings are fighting for the #1 seed in the playoffs; if that’s the case, the Bears are certain to get a beatdown.

By Barry Petchesky The seniors took turns drafting entire teams, and points are based on those teams' wins. Ed Wallace wanted the Patriots in the first round, but had to settle for the Bears, who are steadily cutting his life expectancy with every Jay Cutler pick.

By Brad Biggs Offensive coordinator Ron Turner has said the Bears will work on it. Lovie Smith has said Cutler needs to be more careful near the goalline. Nothing has worked to this point, and the offense is now 5-for-16 (31.3 percent) in the last five games in the red zone.

By Ricky O'Donnell Is there any chance the Bears will eat $11 million and fire Lovie? Jim Zorn is a terrible football coach. Lovie Smith is not. We've been over this before, but, yeah, the Bears' problems run deeper than the head coach. That doesn't mean he should keep his job, though.

By By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO (AP) -- A bad season for the Chicago Bears just got worse. The NFL said Friday that quarterback Jay Cutler had been fined $20,000 for abusive conduct toward a game official during a 41-21 home loss to the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday.

By Marcus Gilmer Some wackness coming out of the NFL offices today as a pair of Bears were fined for stuff that went down in their Week 9 debacle against the Arizona Cardinals and it's left us scratching our heads. Cutler was fined $20,000 for jawing at an official during the game. According to ESPN, "Cutler wa...

By Dane Noble Adding insult to injury, the NFL has levied a $20k fine against QB Jay Cutler for his decision to air out frustrations towards referee Ed Hochuli last week. Cutler was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct in the third quarter following a pass attempt to Greg Olsen. He argued with Ed Hochuli...

By Matt Loede Robbie Gould kicked a third quarter field goal to make it 7-6, but then in the fourth quarter with 10:11 left, Joe Nedney made it 10-6 with a short 21-yard field goal.

By Brad Biggs 8. Of the 10 penalties for 75 yards the Bears got, two were inexcusable.

By Dane Noble 2007: 2008:  The NFC East will certainly have one of the WCs, and the Saints win over the Falcons this past week in the South was huge.  I'm not yet backing off of my bold 12-4 prediction for this season, but with the terrible play from our offensive line, Cutler can only do so much.

The Chicago Bears waited more than half a century for a Pro Bowl QB to arrive. But now that Jay Cutler is here, he is not getting treated very well. Battered by the Browns, Cutler needs better protection.

Jay Cutler was on the run and bleeding for much of the game, yet he insisted afterward he was fine. No reason to worry. Even so, the Chicago Bears did little to calm their anxious fans in a 30-6 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Lopsided score aside, it was far from a perfect performance by a...

Jay Cutler took a beating against the Browns, but he never missed a play. It started when he was on the receiving end of a helmet-to-helmet hit from Browns linebacker Kamerion Wimbley that made Cutler bite his tongue and left him spitting blood. But the 15-yard penalty negated an incomplete...

By wiltfongjr Offensive coordinator Ron Turner said he's ready to start paring back the playbook with the Bears clearly struggling seven games into the Jay Cutler era. At this point, following Sunday's 30-6 victory over the Cleveland Browns at Soldier Field, it's fair to say the Bears aren't doing muc...

The Bears beat up a feeble Cleveland Browns team almost as much as the Browns beat up Jay Cutler on Sunday at Soldier Field. A 24-point victory didn't tell the whole story as Cutler looked more like a mugging victim than a guy who directed a winning effort.

By Benjy Lipsman Matt Forte gained 90 yards rushing, but needed 26 carries to do so -- only 3.5 yards per attempt. Jay Cutler managed only a 66.7 rating by completing 17 of 30 passes for 225 yards and an interception. His favorite target on the day was Devin Hester, who racked up 81 yards on 7 catches.

By Aaron mee He finished the game with one touchdown pass and three interceptions. Not a $30 million dollar day, as the Bengals steamrolled the Bears 45-10. Its double jeopardy for the Bears. The less Cutler does for them on the football field, the higher the draft pick the Bears will fork over for him.

By Roy Taylor Simple as this.  We can talk about those that want Kyle Orton back instead of Jay Cutler.  We can talk about the poor play of the offensive line and the bad personnel decisions made there.  Matt Forte’s demise, talentless wide receivers.  But simple as this-as long as Lovie Smith is the head coa...

I like Kyle Orton. I like his toughness. I like his leadership. I like his calm under both game-time pressure (see: pre-disaster Atlanta) and intense fan/media scrutiny (see: playing quarterback in Chicago). I like that Kyle Orton was able to win double-digit games as the team's 2005 starte...

By Brian Ortegel Then I looked at offensive line ranking. Denver’s line is ranked 13th and the Bears were 28th. This was another big advantage Cutler had over Orton.
