I don't know if there is a worse case of character assassination in sports than Cutler.
I remember when they had a poll of most disliked players. Cutler was #1 beating out convicted dog torturer/murder Michael Vick. What. In. The. ****. Ridiculous. The guy never deserved a 10th of the crap people wrote about him. The guy has every right to be bitter about it and yet he's good-natured and usually just laughs it off now. Hats off to the guy for not turning into a big ball of resentment.

Unfortunately, it's really typical of how many Bears fans react to players. Before Trubisky had played his first game here... or even taken 1 snap under center here - he was booed when introduced at a Bulls game. Can you imagine that? Whether you like or don't like the pick, it's not his fault he got drafted by Chicago. He was just a young kid excited to play for his new team at that point. And the "fans" boo him when first introduced to the city. No class.
I enjoyed that, I like Cutler. I had my moments being angry with him, as ya do with most players. But he had some abilities that were rare, some solid skills. I think our team and coaches erally did him a disservice. When they talked about him maybe going to the 'skins and re-uniting w/ Shanahan, I can only imagine how differently his career trajectory would have been. Someone who knows what the hell an offense is, how to run it and call it...

Yeah, never really got that. What was that? Ohh, imagine if we took Mahomes at that time, with that pick, somebody wpuld shoot Pace.

I agree that people boo'ing him before he'd even played a game was classless and clueless. I think people were just pissed at Ryan Pace for the trade-up and maybe the player he chose and took it out on the kid. Unfair I agree.
However, I was at SF a number of games this past season (before I got so pissed that I sold the rest of my tickets) and the boo-birds came out in force a bunch of times. That WAS fair. Both Trubisky and the offense in general fully earned getting boo'ed off the field over and over like they were. To open your "Super Bowl season run" at home on national TV against your leading divisional rival and not even score a single TD against a middling defense was absolutely disgraceful. The Bears defense was dominantly good that opening game giving up only 10 points against Aaron Rodgers and the offense couldn't score more than a single FG.
