So, after having his new bosses go behind his back, Jay Cutler is demanding a trade? While there’s a lot of reasons why the Jets should trade for Cutler (performance, cannon arm, etc.) just know that he’s not well respected by his peers.

“He’s a great quarterback, don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying anything to disrespect him. I think he’s a hell of a player. But Jeff George was a hell of a player. There’s a lot of guys who have been great players.” — Jake Plummer on Cutler, comparing him to one of the cockiest & best athletes who never got it together

“He is a punk. I’m just not a huge fan of his … he and Tony Gonzalez are the biggest crybabies in the league ” — Matt Wilhelm Chargers LB

“Cutler is the one who was grabbing his crotch [last season] and saying stuff to Philip [Rivers] in the first place. He started the whole thing.” — Unnamed Chargers Player on 2007 feud between Rivers and Cutler

“Word out of Denver is that he’s largely disliked by his own team, due to a terminal bout of arrogance.” – Pete Kotz, Nashville Scene (Cutler went to Vandy)

“I don’t like him, I don’t want to talk about him.” — Kerry Rhodes, Jets S

I recently heard Curt Schilling in an interview say that he thought some of the best athletes he’s ever seen are the ones who are the most insecure. It makes sense in a way, because it’s what drives them. All I’m saying is that the Jets would have to weigh how he’d get along in New York against how he’ll perform.

The kid can sling it, but he’s just not liked. Although it was couched as a “joke,” his AFC teammates threw him in the pool at the Pro Bowl. I don’t rememeber them doing that to other players in the past, but maybe I just missed it. Cutler is a great Quarterback, but he’s a prima donna and there’s not many players in the league who respect or really like him.
