Ian Rapoport is reporting that the Chicago Bears are having buyers remorse when it comes to Jay Cutler.
After signing Cutler to a to a seven-year, $126.7 million contract this offseason, including $54 million guaranteed, Bears brass are now sick over it.
According to Rapoport, there is serious doubt within the organization that Cutler can lead them where it wants to go — namely, the Super Bowl. Rapoport added that one big problem for Cutler comes in the run game, in which he too often does not check out of bad plays — a reason for ground issues in Chicago.
There is a serious “frustration” with the way Cutler has played this season, and, according to Rapoport, the team considered benching him during his dismal showing versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers three weeks ago. However, the Bears didn’t, mainly because Jimmy Clausen is the backup.
