The Facts:
The giddy reaction in Chicago over the Bears' acquisition of Cutler is not shared by former Colts HC Tony Dungy. "[The Bears] took a risk [trading for Cutler]. I think they took that risk specifically with beating the Green Bay Packers in mind," Dungy said Wednesday. "I really think Chicago gave up a lot to get a QB who they believe is going to be the final piece of the puzzle. But I am not sure he has won enough to merit that yet."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Dungy was introduced Wednesday as a member of the NBC studio show "Football Night in America." His first regular-season Sunday night game will be Sept. 13 when the Bears travel to Green Bay. Dungy questioned the leadership skills and maturity of the 26-year-old Cutler. Asked if Cutler is even the best quarterback in the NFC North, Dungy said: "That remains to be seen. He is a very talented guy who can throw the ball very well. But quarterbacking is so much about leadership and so much about doing things under pressure. There is going to be a lot of pressure on him. ... We'll see about his maturity level. That's what I would question. ..." Apparently, Dungy won't be pulling any punches in his new role as analyst.
