Most people will agree that Josh McDaniels was a terrible head coach. However, Jay Cutler was in the wrong for demanding a trade from the Denver Broncos all because McDaniels tried to acquire former New England Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel through trade. The Broncos failed in their pursuit of Cassel, leading to hard feelings from Cutler, which led to his departure from Denver.

A lot of times, Jay Cutler has good reason to be upset. For a large portion of his career, he has had sloppy offensive lines combined with bad receiving groups. However, Cutler can get a bit hot-tempered a lot of the time. It is a frequent occurrence for TV cameras to catch Cutler chewing out his teammates during the course of games. Though it is a good sign of Cutler's competitiveness, he needs to learn to tone it down.

Cutler is one of the most skilled quarterbacks in the NFL. And because of that, good often comes with the bad. While Cutler has a rocket arm and excellent mobility, he has a penchant for throwing interceptions due to overconfidence in the abilities of his arm. Cutler has ranked in the top 10 in three different seasons for interceptions, including 2009, when he led the league with 26 interceptions.

For Chicago Bears fans, this has to be the No. 1 reason to hate Cutler. There is no doubt that No. 6 is one of the toughest quarterbacks in the league and he has often played while injured versus the Green Bay Packers. However, you can't ignore the fact that he is 1-8 versus the Bears' biggest rivals. Key losses include last season's finale for the NFC North title and the 2011 NFC Championship Game.

As talented of a quarterback as Cutler is, he has never had consistent winning success throughout his collegiate and pro careers. At Vanderbilt, Cutler led terrible teams to losing records. In the NFL, he has established a 56-48 record while leading a team to the playoffs just one time in his eight seasons as a starting quarterback. The veteran QB is just not a winner.
