I'm a pretty big Cutler fan. Like Ron Jaworski, I put Cutler solidly in the top 10 of NFL quarterbacks. It's hard to come up with many categories in which Cutler is better than Aaron Rodgers.
We'd give arm strength to Cutler. And ... that's about it.
Cutler, 29, remains squarely in his football prime. He has more weapons around him this season. He's one great playoff run away from crashing the top-five quarterback conversation, and he has the skills to pull it off. He just won't ever have the skills to pass Rodgers.
