Former Bears quarterback Jim McMahon says that Jay Cutler relies too much on his arm strength. Speaking to the Denver Post recently, McMahon was critical of Cutler's decision-making. "The little bit that I saw when I'd watch replays of his interceptions, I'd think, 'Where is he throwing the ball?' " McMahon said. "The guy has a great arm, but I think he relies on that too much." McMahon is the last Chicago quarterback to make the Pro Bowl. "You don't have to throw it through the wall to be a good quarterback in this league," McMahon said. "You need timing and instincts. You can't teach instincts. You either got 'em or you don't."
