Jay Cutler has been
lured out of his short retirement by the Miami Dolphins and a one
year contract that could pay him $13 million with incentives. Cutler
gets $10 million guaranteed to play for his former offensive
coordinator Adam Gase under whom he had one of his best seasons.
I give the Dolphins
credit for getting the best quarterback available when it became
clear that Tannehill would miss most or all of the season with a knee
injury. Kaepernick was no real option in Miami due to his pro Castro
stance, and Castro is hated by the Cuban population of South Florida.
The problem with
Cutler is that he has always shown lots of potential but then never
lives up to it. Cutler reminds me of Jeff George, in showing lots of
talent at times but never doing anything with it. Cutler has the
reputation of not caring much about football but still was the best
option for the Dolphins.
Cutler has a good
offensive line and running game with the Dolphins and a good running
game. The division other than the Patriots won't cause the Dolphins
much concern. Cutler is accurate but makes bad decisions sometimes
which leads to turnovers. Still he is head and shoulders better than
Dolphins backup Matt Moore who really struggled with the pressure on
being a stater while with the Panthers.
