Judging Jay Cutler? Keep Your Eye on the Ball June 8, 2012, 6:25 am 1) Greg Cosell, at the NFL Films blog, asks you to put aside your perceptions of Bears quarterback Jay Cutler - his body language, his facial expressions, his interviews. Cutler is better than you think. Based on my extensive experience, I can say with certainty Cutler is not acknowledged as a top-10 NFL quarterback entering the 2012 season. That assessment is wrong. Cutler is one of the best pure throwers in the NFL. His elite arm strength gives an offense every dimension in the pass game. 2) No active N.F.L. player has ever publicly come out as being gay. A recent series of interviews by OutSports.com suggests that acceptance in the locker room may not be far off. The former N.F.L. cornerback Wade Davis recently told his story: "Your biggest fear is that you'll lose that camaraderie and family." 3) The Jets are hoping that receiver Santonio Holmes can maintain harmony with Mark Sanchez, his other teammates and his coaches. A practice on Thursday was a reminder that he'll never be shy about lodging a complaint: Connor Orr, The Star-Ledger: Holmes - who plans to attend Jets West - seemed to be visibly frustrated with the workload, discussing the situation with various members of the staff.
