Jay Cutler Beast Mode

Howard Smith-USA TODAY Sports

Rocky Balboa, a hornet’s nest, and Jay Cutler. Three things you should just leave alone. I’ll explain.

Rocky was probably the worst fighter in (film) history. That is, until he took a barrage of shots to the face. His reaction was that of a raging bull (apologies to De Niro). Assaulting Rocky unleashed a bloodied, beaten and angry beast that was out for blood.

The hornet’s nest, when left alone, is harmless. Mess with it and a horde of flying killers are out to get you.

Finally, Jay Cutler. On any given game day Jay is your middle-of-the-pack NFL quarterback. He has good days and bad. But he is never going to be in the elite group with Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Peyton Manning. But we’ve witnessed recently that if you mess with him – if you come after him and knock him around – you just might unleash focused and furious Jay. Chicago beast mode. With the weapons at his disposal, opponents may want to heed the warning and call off the dogs. To beat Cutler, allow him to go about his business and be average. Rile him up and you may feel his wrath.

Two teams have awoken beast mode from within Jay Cutler this season. Down 17-0 on the road to the San Francisco 49ers, the game was all but over in the first half. That was, until Cutler was drilled in the chest with a wicked helmet to sternum shot. The force knocked Cutler back and took his breath away. The fact he got back up for the next play was impressive enough. The performance that followed included a trio of touchdown passes to Brandon Marshall, and marked Cutler’s signature game as a member of the Chicago Bears.  It was an epic comeback win on the road.

Most recently, the Atlanta Falcons kicked the hornet’s nest with a shot to Cutler that awoke beast mode. In return, Cutler picked apart the Falcons for nearly 400 passing yards and two touchdowns (with no turnovers).

Jay Cutler may never be all that Chicago wants him to be, but he is tough. He’s shown that without any doubt in the past. Now fans can add Chicago’s version of beast mode to the mix of good and bad descriptions available to describe the much-maligned quarterback.

Dare I say, hit him hard and hit him early so Chicago fans can enjoy more games in beast mode.
