Against the 29th rated pass defense in the league last night, Jay Cutler threw five interceptions. This guy’s an elite QB? Pfft.

Two were thrown in the end zone, including one with :01 left in the game. In two primetime games this season, Cutler has thrown nine interceptions in eight quarters. Next week, he’ll have to play under the lights again, this time at home against Philadelphia. We’ll give Cutler the benefit of the doubt – after all, his wide receivers are a joke – but the question needs to be asked: Is Jay Cutler a primetime QB? Tony Romo gets ripped for struggling in December and January … when was the last time Cutler registered an important win in the second half of the season? (Not comparing the two; just wondering why Cutler, in his third full season as a starter, is immune from criticism.)

Because of his mighty arm, Cutler’s been anointed one of the league’s great quarterbacks already … even though he has yet to reach the playoffs. At 4-5, and having lost four of their last five, the Bears appear to be a longshot to reach the playoffs. Peter King’s Super Bowl pick is on the ropes. After Philly is Minnesota; three of their final five games are against teams that are .500 or better (Green Bay, Minnesota, Baltimore).

The knock on Cutler in Denver was that he didn’t have a defense. Without MLB Brian Urlacher, the Bears run defense has been below average. Two recent losses to the Bengals (45 points allowed) and the Cardinals (41) were certainly on the Bears’ defense. But the loss in Green Bay to start the season and last night’s clunker at Candlestick are squarely on the shoulders of Cutler, who leads the NFL in interceptions with 17.

The 49ers? Your guess is as good as ours. No clue what to make of this team. Routed at home by Atlanta. Played the Colts real tough in Indy. The NFC West is a shitshow as usual, so we wouldn’t rule San Francisco (or Seattle, actually) out.
