The Chicago Bears are considering using the read-option with Jay Cutler.

Cutler has the seventh-most rushing yards at quarterback since 2006.

"Jay has the skill set to do just about everything, anything," Marc Trestman said. "We are trying to give him the things he has had the most success with first.

"Whether we'll do it, I don't know. We've studied it."

The Beras have used elements of the read-option in practice, but Cutler has not begun studying it.

"There is no question Jay is athletic enough," McCown said. "All three of us could get it done if we needed to. It's going to have to be a part of (the offense) a little bit because we are going to have to give our defense looks on it because it's so successful in our league. We're all waiting to see if the defenses can stop it."
