Lance Briggs Couldn’t Resist Taking A Playful Shot at Jay Cutler

-

It was what he had to say regarding his personal feelings on Jay Cutler. Fast forward to the 3:00 to hear his words.

Seems Lance just couldn’t help himself. One thing that has been established over the past few years is that many of the old Bears guard weren’t Cutler fans. The core of Briggs, Brian Urlacher and Charles Tillman have each passed on their attempts to show vocal support for the embattled quarterback. This latest jab is merely another sign that they never really thought much of him, outside of that “golden arm” of course.

Urlacher even admitted he and others were skeptical from the beginning about the Cutler trade, feeling the team gave up too much.

“It was a tough situation with him coming in because we gave up two first-round picks to get him. We got rid of our quarterback at the time, Kyle Orton, who I didn’t think needed to be traded in the first place. I thought he was our guy. We won games with him. He did the things as a defensive player you needed: He didn’t turn the football over. He gave us a chance to play defense. So I was mad when they traded him in the first place. I didn’t understand it.”

Seems the five years they played together didn’t do much to help Briggs soften his stance on Cutler either. In the end there is a hint of resentment covered up by mild ribbing. Yet the indications are clear. He was never a believer in #6, and still isn’t.
