Jay Cutler: I’m Stronger Than Brett Favre

They come along all the time, these young guns eager to face the legendary Brett Favre. Matt Cassel. Trent Edwards. JaMarcus Russell. To them, it’s a “grandchildren” game, as in: One day, I can tell my grandchildren I played Brett Favre. In that respect, the Broncos’ Jay Cutler is no different. Leading up to Sunday, he showed the obligatory reverence toward the most prolific passer in NFL history. But, unlike the others, he actually threw himself into the Favre conversation, claiming he has a stronger arm than the Jets’ quarterback. “Yeah, I think so,” Cutler told the Denver media, laughing. “He’s 39, soon to be 40. I think he may have given me a run back in his 20s, but I think I got him now.” In Colorado, they call it necessary brashness. In New York, where Favre’s stature is approaching Namath-esque proportions, it’s known as Chutzpah.
