Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has been a hot and cold quarterback his entire career. His inconsistent play has always impacted his team, and it’s been more negative than positive.

Week 1 was basically the same Cutler we have all came accustomed to seeing. One play he makes a great throw and the next he make you scratch your head. Cutler took on the Houston Texans on Sunday and was clearly out-played by the opposing quarterback.

In his defense, he was sacked a total of five times, which was the second most of Week 1. His team looked flat for most of the game and a 23-14 loss actually wasn’t bad for the way he played.

He only completed 55.2 percent of his passes while throwing for 216 yards. The 216 yards puts him at 22nd on the year for passing yards, while his one touchdown has him cited at 15th with 11 other quarterbacks.

You always want to see more from Cutler and 2016 will be no different. He has one of the most talented arms in the league, he just needs to be more consistent while showing it.

Next: No. 23
