Comparing Cutler to Sanchez is nonsense.
Who would you rather have?
Player A:
3.1 INT %
7.1 Y/A
56.9 COM%
1.32:1 TD:INT
Player B:
3.3 INT %
7.1 Y/A
62.0 COM%
1.42:1 TD:INT
I think anyone would take player B. Player B is Jay Cutler. Player A is John Elway.
The issue was Cutler was really bad when he was bad. But in 2010, he was really good, and when he broke his thumb in 2011, the Bears offense was rolling and he was playing great. When Elway was bad, he was average. Those games don't stand out. The really awful ones do, especially when one of them has rings. Even Steve Young, who notoriously HATED Cutler, ranked the Bears #1 in his power rankings in 2011 because of Jay.
One of my biggest hot takes ever is that if he's healthy in 2010 and/or 2011, they win at least one Super Bowl.
