I don't think there are quite enough statistics available yet to be definitive, however is anyone surprised that Jay Cutler is struggling with Chicago and Kyle Orton is flourishing in Denver?
Orton moved to Mile High and got to air it out to some legit receivers while Cutler came back down to Earth and was given left overs and rookies, as well as a general lack of separation speed. Cutler was also welcomed to the City of Broad Shoulders with 35 sacks last season after only having to endure 11 the prior season in Denver. This season, he's already been sacked 17 times through 4 games. It's only 4 games because the Giants hit him so hard he received a concussion and was knocked out of this week's contest with Carolina, another team struggling to find anyone who can play QB.
My contention would be that the offensive line is the biggest Chicago problem. With a good line, Cutler could get back to his Denver numbers, and Forte would look much better as well.
