[QUOTE="ravage, post: 44530, member: 177"] Here is a quick skill evaluation of Cutler from NFL Draft Showcase. Analysis STRENGTHS: Size, Escapability, Toughness WEAKNESSES: Mechanics, Decision Making NFL COMPARISON: Marc Bulger, Rams Cutler and Bulger have similar builds. They both also have good arms, but their gunslinger's mentality leads them to make their share of throws they shouldn't. Neither are outstanding runners, but show good presence and manuverability in the pocket. SCOUTING REPORT: Cutler has the tools to play at the next level. [b]His college production and track record are more difficult to evaluate than that of other top QB prospects because he did not have a great supporting cast. [/b]His physical skills however, speak for themselves. He has great size and is a strong player. He has a good muscle base and an tall frame. Mechanically, he has to work on a couple things. He holds the ball low on his drop back (chest-level) and his release needs to be rasied as well. Cutler has had more passes batted down than he should and that can be attributed to his release. Holding the ball low on dropbacks as well as dropping it to his hip when rushed exposes it to rushers and also causes wasted motion in his throws. He has good natural arm strength and can throw the ball from many different angles. His passes have good zip and he can fit the ball into tough spots. He has the arm to drive the ball downfield, but his deep balls tend to hang and flutter too much. In general, he must do a better job of setting his feet and really driving the ball on all his passes. His footwork in the pocket though, is very good.
