Joe Theismann Strikes Again...

I do not deny that he knows football. What bothers me is that he just does not know when he has said enough about something and then goes on and on about it.

Here is yet one more example...

Joe was adamantly defending Jay Cutler along Radio/TV row in Dallas earlier this week. Joe was saying that Cutler was indeed hurt in the Packers game and that people had been unfairly piling on him for missing the second half of the game. Theismann's point was that Cutler is a "different kind of guy" and that because he isn't like the typical player, he is being judged differently than someone else who missed part of a game due to injury.

Good. Joe has an opinion and made his case and offered his analysis.

Then he went on to compare Jay Cutler to - - - wait for it - - - Jeff George in terms of skill and personality.

If you were Jay Cutler, you had to like the first part of Joe's comments but then he just had to keep on talking...

Sorry to let you know but JT's opinion of Cutler is pretty accurate. Cutler doesn't seem to be as big of a dick as Jeff George, but he's pretty damn close. I mean he basically bitched, moaned and cried his way out of Denver. And as far as skill goes they're almost identical.

Joe has been one of my favs since the glory days.
He's always good for some controversy.
And Cutler is a whiney twerp anyways.

There will never be another Pat Summerall and John Madden. <-

I have blind loyalty for Joe Theismann. He can do no wrong in my eyes. I can see how one might not like his analysis..i'm ok w/ him though.

[Bigreds77]

Two things how can any Redskin fan hate Joe T and how can any true Redskin fan like to hear Moose or Troy whine when the Skins do win a game? Joe was tuff QB and I would take him any day.

At least he didn't call him Jay Cockler

(Danny Woodhead reference)

Love Joey T. for everything he did for the Redskins, especially being part of the 1st SB. Who gives a shit about what he does on TV, he's a football player.

Hope not. Summerall is a suck Cowboys fan. Sits in Jerruhs box for home games.

You've never heard him mock Jerry, have you?

I like him on NFL Playbook but he has the same problem a lot of former players have in the booth: he talks way to much and walks all over the play by play guy.
I like Aikman as an announcer (though it pains me to say) but Moose is one of the worst on National TV. I understand that he loves Jerry Jones and Emmit Smith, but does he have to bring it up every game? He consistently gets players names wrong and the occasional misunderstanding of rules is really annoying.

Jay Cutler is very similar to Jeff George. A miraculous arm with questionable judgement. I thought the analogy was spot on.

[SkinzzFan]

No disrespect to the person who posted this OR to the topic but this is EXACTLY why the Redskins need to start making the playoffs on a regular basis. As fans, our off-season is so long we constantly find ourselves reaching for stuff to talk about other than actual football games. I'm sure Steelers fans don't talk about the BS Terry Bradshaw has said on Fox...nope they're completely focused on their team beating Green Bay and winning another championship.

Again, I mean no disprespect to the person who posted this at all. Just sayin I'd rather be focused on actual Redskins football games.

[SmootSmack]

I got the feeling SC wasn't surprised that JT compared Cutler to Jeff George, but that he thought it was a positive thing

[SirClintonPortis]

At least some of Cutler's teammates got his back. No one gave a shit about George.
