Antrel Rolle questions Jay Cutler’s leadership

Jay Cutler

A month into free agency, Jay Cutler is still available, and there are even questions about whether he will continue playing football.

Cutler was once viewed as a franchise quarterback, but that luster has been lost over the years as the QB has battled injuries, inconsistent play, and an inability to consistently win.

Now one of his former teammates is questioning his leadership.

During an appearance on “Good Morning Football” Thursday, Antrel Rolle was asked to compare his former quarterbacks, Eli Manning and Cutler.

“He was a little bit more laid back. He wasn’t a front-row leader,” Rolle said of Cutler. “Neither was Eli Manning, but Eli has a way about himself to lead every guy. I just felt like, honestly, if Jay involved himself more with the team, more with his receivers, I think he’d get more better results on the playing field.

“Like I said I just honestly feel like he would get much better results if he involved himself more in the team collectively, with all individuals. It doesn’t have to be offense, defense, special teams, but just everyone as a collective unit, I think he would get more out of his game for himself.”

Rolle, who played with Cutler on the Bears in 2015, also said he wasn’t surprised that Cutler is still available.

Whether it’s his toughness, leadership, or body language, Cutler’s qualities as a quarterback and traits as a person have long been in question. It’s stories like these that probably contribute to him considering retiring. Why continue to deal with it all given the money he’s made and the family he has at home?
