Jay Cutler- Football's Most Overrated Quarterback

For the past few years, when Tony Romo struggled down the stretch in December, many fans would call him the most overrated quarterback in football for, when the weather gets colder, turns the ball over and can't win big games.

Well, I think there's a quarterback that is far more overrated than anyone would think of Romo.

Jay Cutler.

For all the grief Romo has gotten, let's compare him with Cutler:

Romo's career high in interceptions is 19 (but he balanced it out with 36 touchdown passes that year); Cutler has 25 already this season with two games to spare.

Romo's bad games are not as bad as Cutler's bad games.

Romo had three picks in a Week 2 loss to the Giants; Cutler has done that 4 times THIS YEAR.

Other than that week 2 game, Romo has only thrown 4 picks to date; by contrast, has had only three games without an interception

At this point in their careers, Cutler has 40 more interceptions than Romo.

"But what about the postseason?"

Romo has at least gotten the Cowboys TO the playoffs; Cutler has yet to even make the playoffs.

Tony Romo has yet to have a losing season in Dallas; Cutler has yet to have a winning season.

When they face adversity, they have different ways to counter it

Romo had a 5-interception game against Buffalo in 2007, but he still drove his team to a win on the last drive; Cutler had a chance to attone for bad picks against San Francisco, Green Bay, and Philly; on his last drive, he threw an interception.

Romo made a positive about a negative; Cutler made a negative on top of a negative

For all the negatives I hear about Romo, I would still have him as my QB over Cutler.

I'm not saying the Bears should dump Cutler; it's only his first season.

But as of right now, I do think he's highly overrated- far more than anyone thinks Romo is.
