Former Colts coach and new football analyst for NBC Tony Dungy has said the Bears took a huge risk trading for the immature Jay Cutler.

“[The Bears] took a risk [trading for Cutler]. I think they took that risk specifically with beating the Green Bay Packers in mind,” Dungy said. “I really think Chicago gave up a lot to get a quarterback who they believe is going to be the final piece of the puzzle. But I am not sure he has won enough to merit that yet.”

Dungy went on to say it doesn’t matter how strong his arm is, quarterbacking in the NFL is all about leadership.

“He is a very talented guy who can throw the ball very well. But quarterbacking is so much about leadership and so much about doing things under pressure. There is going to be a lot of pressure on him,” Dungy said. “We’ll see about his maturity level. That’s what I would question. And some of the things that happened leading to him leaving Denver … that would concern me as a head coach.”

I’m in the minority but I think Kyle Orton is actually a better quarterback than Cutler with all things considered. Sure Cutler can throw the ball further, but he’s not as accurate and he doesn’t get the respect of his teammates.
