As the Bears' QB for eight seasons, Jay Cutler knows a thing or two about the highs and lows of playing in Chicago. Cutler recently appeared on the podcast “Pardon My Take” to offer his advice for Mitch Trubisky on how to handle the media this offseason.

Cutler seems to be echoing Matt Nagy’s previous statements this season, where he advised his players to drown out the media by donning “horse blinders and earmuffs.”

Of course, this plan of action is always easier said than done, as the Pardon My Take hosts acknowledged on the pod by reminding Cutler, “but he’s reading this right now.”

Cutler elaborates on this by explaining that while you will always be aware of what people are saying about you, the more Trubisky can distance himself from it the better his head space will be going forward.

“A young guy like him, being in Chicago, it’s a tough town, the expectations were huge,” Cutler says. “You watch some of his press conferences and could tell it really bothered him.”

Cutler explains that while you will need to know what people are saying about you to do press conferences, Trubisky shouldn’t seek out the media beyond that.

“I wouldn’t go online and find this stuff out, but go to their PR guy before a press conference and be like, 'Alright, what do I need to know?'”
