Jay Culter = Sybil..."I Didn't Want to Get Traded"... Broncos want two 1st rd picks

[AbeBeta]

they can ask. but they'll likely take a high 2nd and a conditional pick that could say become a 1.

 

[PullMyFinger]

Bull ****.

I don't believe Cutler AT ALL on this one. You're telling me that a team tells its young, pro-bowl QB straight up "we don't want you, we're going to trade you"?

I'm starting really dislike both Cutler and his agent.

Ya his agent really sounds like a weasel, I hope none of the boys have him as an agent.

 

[PullMyFinger]

This line from the Aerosmith song Don't get mad get even comes to mind when I hear the lines from both Denver and Cutler...

I'll tell ya little secret
make you wanna jump and shout
When you talk to me in circles
Take your foot out of your mouth

Hehe...

Good one BP

 

[PullMyFinger]

Speaking of which...how did that class reunion go?

LOL


Ouch!

Don't be surprised if they get two #1's. In the NFL POTENTIAL is HIGHLY valued. And if you are looking strictly at potential, Cutler has everything you can ask for.... Plus has has shown he can put up good numbers.....

 

[ceebro01]

theres a difference between not wanting to get traded and not wanting to get traded to detroit i think he knows thats where he'll most likely end up

A new Jeff George?

Dan Daly
The Washington Times

The more I hear about Jay Cutler, the more I wonder if he isn't the Jeff George of the new millennium. By that I mean: a young quarterback with a million-dollar arm and a two-cent head, a high-maintenance type destined to break your heart... and break the bank along with it.

Consider: When the Colts traded George, a former first overall pick in the draft, to Atlanta in 1994, he was 26, the same age Cutler will be in a few weeks. He had also exhibited, while in Indianapolis, much of the me-me-me attitude Cutler has shown in Denver. But the foolish Falcons were still willing to give up two No. 1s and a No. 3 for him, convinced the kid's talent would eventually trump all.

George was last seen in Atlanta jawing on the sideline with coach June Jones - as another Falcons season spiraled out of control. From there it was on to Oakland, Minnesota, Washington, Seattle, Chicago, the Raiders again... and an endless series of what-might-have-been stories in the local papers.

Here's hoping Dan Snyder and the rest of the Commanders brain trust remember their regrettable infatuation with George a decade ago and just say no to Cutler, no matter how appealing he might be. But that's the thing about talent; it can blind you to a player's faults, to the risks he poses. And let's not forget, a quarterback isn't just any old player. He's the Voice in the Huddle, if not the Face of the Franchise. You make a mistake at that position, you pay for it for years.

Fortunately, the Commanders might not be able to put together the package required to win the Cutler Sweepstakes. For starters, their first-round pick is only the 13th; other teams (Lions, Browns, 49ers), teams hungrier for a quarterback, have higher selections they could dangle. There's also the issue of cap space, though Snyder always seems able to create more - no matter what the cost.

Then there's this to mull over: Do the Commanders really want to replace a quarterback who had the lowest interception percentage of any starter last season (.012) with one who was second in the league in interceptions (18)? Is the club really ready to scrap the Jason Campbell Experiment and sign on for the Jay Cutler Adventure?

And don't kid yourself, it would be quite a ride. It certainly was in Denver, where last year Cutler helped turn a 4-1 start into an 8-8 finish with some spotty play down the stretch. The fold-up cost coach Mike Shanahan - Jay's Dr. Frankenstein - his job, and then the real fun began.

First Josh McDaniel, Shanahan's 32-year-old successor, explored the possibility of trading Jay and bringing in Matt Cassel, the quarterback he had in New England. When he learned of this, Jay freaked out and put his house on the market, saying the team had lost his trust. About the only way it could have been more of a soap opera is if Jessica Simpson had been involved.

But here's the thing: Why the babe-in-the-woods act? Cutler knew as well as anybody that this was how the NFL worked. The Broncos, after all, had traded up to draft him just months after Jake Plummer had taken them to the AFC title game and been voted to the Pro Bowl. Plummer was 34-14 as the Broncos' starter at that point (including the playoffs). He was also, at 31, still in his prime.

But it wasn't enough for Shanahan. He wanted somebody better. What should that have told Cutler about the franchise?

Anyway, after attempts at a reconciliation, the Broncos have decided to part ways with their young passer. There figure to be plenty of bidders for his services, with the Jets, Bucs, Panthers and others possibly also in the picture. Let's face it, it isn't often a 20-something quarterback coming off a Pro Bowl season becomes available (though it's a bit confounding how he beat out Philip Rivers and Chad Pennington in the balloting).

The most recent similar cases are Drew Brees and Daunte Culpepper, both of whom were "in play" three years ago. Brees has proven to be a fabulous free agent pickup for New Orleans; he's made two Pro Bowls with the Saints and got them within a game of the Super Bowl in his first season. Culpepper, on the other hand, is at the other end of the spectrum. He was injured and ineffective in Miami, and his career has never gotten back on track.

So those are the two extremes, the risk-reward aspect of pursuing Cutler. Granted, he has a nice arm, good feet and much potential - just like Brees. But he has also battled with his bosses and raised questions about his maturity - much like Culpepper.

My advice to the Commanders: For once, avoid the temptation and go with the guy you've got. Besides, you already have one diva on offense - your running back. It could get crowded in the huddle with two.

They'll send him to the NFC.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

it does kind of make you ask yourself why McDaniels comes in and immediately tries to replace Cutler, or at the most, tries to bring in some expensive competition for him (Cassell)

 

[mmillman]

Cutler is a head case prima donna that I wouldn't want on my team.

Broncos source: ‘We have the phone records’
Posted: April 1st, 2009 | NFL.com Staff | Tags: Jay Cutler, Pat Bowlen

In a statement released last night by the Broncos, team owner Pat Bowlen said that “numerous attempts to contact Jay Cutler in the last 10 days, both by head coach Josh McDaniels and myself, have been unsuccessful.”

Cutler’s camp says that’s just not so.

Sources close to Culter told NFL.com senior columnist Thomas George today that the quarterback contends he has not received any such calls from the Broncos.

Sources close to Bowlen responded to George in five words: “We have the phone records.”

George’s full column on the Cutler-Broncos situation will appear on NFL.com this afternoon. NFL.com senior columnist Vic Carucci’s breakdown of the most likely suitors for Cutler can be found here.

If he plays well in Chicago, all of this is just a footnote.

Well, I'm an idiot....

Unbelievable . . . .

Well, Hos, I guess we know who gits the crybaby award for this season.
