What's disturbing is that he hasn't even met the most conservative expectations, either. Even if you said, ''I don't expect Cutler to take us to the Super Bowl this season, I just expect him to be an upgrade over Kyle Orton and show some signs of progress as he gets acclimated to this offense and these new players,'' he still has failed.

"Yeah, we don't have a choice," Cutler said. "Chris is going to be the guy. I'm confident in him. He's still learning out there. He's young, he's still picking up things. He's going to go out there and battle, a...

"He didn't have to apologize to me," Cutler said. "I talked to him, I understand what he's talking about. It's frustrating for everybody in that locker room. I know where he is coming from. You can't take anything personal in this game, especially when we're losing. I'm ...

Sports, but was clear that Urlacher didn't owe him an apology for anything.

What possessed you to say those things about Jay Cutler? Don't tell me that we're going to have to add ''bad teammate'' to your resume. As if the Bears didn't have enough problems already, the last thing they needed was for their injured middle linebacker and supposed team leader to go on record with his negative feelings about their quarterback.

Observe: Did Cutler try and cover up the mic slap with a quick hand to the brow? Did he just have one of those mind lapses where we act on an impulse we shouldn’t and then awkwardly try and do something else?

Johnny Knox returned a kickoff 77 yards to the Minnesota Vikings' 8-yard line. Should be an easy touchdown, right? Unlucky Seven Jay Cutler struggled when the Vikings dropped seven into pass coverage. This has been a recurring theme in 2009 - 15 of Cutler's now 20 Int have come against four pass rushers or less.

"It's a tough one," Cutler said of the team's 36-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. "We didn't expect this, [we] thought we had a good week. We didn't play up to our standards." In fact, the Bears did play up to the careless ...

They’ve already taken a step in that direction, tacking on two years to his contract to keep him in place through 2013. Thank goodness because it’s going to take some time to build the franchise around the franchise quarterback.
