I have to preface this by saying I am a Cutler fan, but Jay Cutler is not a Top 5 QB. I personally don't consider Romo/Schaub to be better than Jay, but I do for Big Ben and Eli.
Not only because they have SB's (although that's important), but mostly because of how they perform under pressure. Ben's last minute drives can be hero-esque. Eli makes mistakes but right now, there's very FEW QB's playing better than him. I agree with the dude who said Cutler does the most with less, but even when he had an elite receiver in Denver, he folded under pressure.
The knock on him in Denver was if you pressure him, he'll get flustered and become horribly inaccurate. Yes, he has a strong arm, but he used to remind me of Favre type reckless gunslinging.
This year, Jay has played great when given time to throw. I'm sure most will agree with me when I sat he also had added motivation with the way last year's playoffs unfolded. I'd definitely have Jay in my Top 10 this year, but I can't put him higher than 7.
