Via PFT/Florio from the Chicago Sun-Times about KC Joyner chat: (http://blogs.suntimes.com/bears/2009/07/21_days_to_camp_cutlers_risk_t.html)
"You know what really bothers me about Cutler? The idea that fans can't comment on him in a non-emotional manner. Every Bears fan thinks he is the next coming of Jim McMahon. When I point out that he has performance issues and that Grossman had those same issues, they just go overboard instead of saying, `Hey, that's a good point, can he improve in that area?'
"I'm basing my Cutler comments on three seasons of Denver tape breakdowns. He's a huge risk-taker and that equates to about 1 in 20 of his passes being an [interception] or near [interception] because of a mistake on his part. He'll win games in the Windy City and when he does, I'll hear it from Bears fans. I just want to hear from those same fans when his risk-taking costs the team a big game and I'll all but guarantee that will happen.''
Sounds like they are describing someone else. Joyner's chat transcript is here (http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/chat/_/id/27363).
And if the Gunslinger's shoe being on the other foot is not unsettling enough for you, here is a quote pulled by the Sun-Times from Joyner's chat discussing Matt Forte:
"Forte will be this generation's Brian Westbrook,'' Joyner said. "He'll have a great year no matter who is behind center for Chicago."
