Jay Cutler isn’t exactly known for being an entertaining character with a whole lot of charisma. He doesn’t exactly “win the press conference” all that often. It explains why he doesn’t have a ton of endorsements and likely doesn’t have a future in broadcasting once his playing days are done. However, with his new contract, neither nor his kids and grand kids will ever have to work.
Jay put in a great effort in the second half Sunday night in the win at the San Francisco 49ers. He was dominant on the field. Off the field, well you can evaluate his performance there Friday night.
Cutler is a very big part of “Brandon Marshall: A Football Life” which premieres Friday, September 19 at 8:00 PM CST (Here’s more details, as well some clips, excerpts and quotes from the show)
Among the topics discussed in the documentary are:
Marshall’s relationship with Bears quarterback Jay Cutler in Chicago and Denver
His off-field issues in Denver and Miami
His time at McLean Hospital in May of 2011, being diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and the work he is doing in the mental health field
Reuniting with Jay Cutler in Chicago

#CuttyDoesIt is one of the main interview subjects in the documentary. Some sound bites from him:
“I think he is definitely headed in the right direction, but unfortunately there are still people out there who remember Brandon Marshall years 1-4, and that is tough to overcome. But I think if anybody can do it, he can do it.” – Jay Cutler
“For as great a guy as he could be and as charming as he could be, and as intelligent as he was, there were certain times where a switch would just flip and you were like, ‘I don’t know this guy.’” – Jay Cutler on Brandon Marshall in Denver
– “I defended him a long time, and then at one point I came out in the media and I said, ‘He’s got to figure it out, he has to grow up. Enough is enough.’” – Jay Cutler on his time with Brandon Marshall in Denver
