QUOTE OF THE DAY
Green Bay Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy on Jay Cutler:
“Very productive. Jay Cutler, the first two weeks, he looks like he is off to a great start. It’s a quarterback-friendly system and he’ll be given opportunities to make all of the throws, which he is fully capable of doing. I think really he is off to a very good start. I’m impressed with his first two games.”
