But, Cutler has never won anything, College or NFL. I don't believe he will.
He was playing for Vandy. Nobody is going to win the SEC QB'ing Vandy.

He had a qb dream scenario with Shanahan and the Broncos, and went 8-8. Yeah some of it was on the D, a lot actually, but 8-8 in the AFC W.
You figured that one out yourself. It was their defense that kept them out of the playoffs.

He won the SEC because of the same reason he looked like a decent QB early last year... he had a teriffic running game and the coaches didn't ask Jason to take *any* risks at all. In the early part of '08 it was almost comical how little Jason even looked downfield. Zorn didn't trust him at all to read the defense and make the proper throws... and he didn't need to. Teams had no idea what Zorn was going to do and Portis was on fire. Zorn had a handful of plays that Jason did well with and that's what he was using (along with Portis' running game) to eek out some wins.
Once defenses figured out the few plays Campbell actually did well with, they took those away and shut down Portis, giving Jason the opportunity to beat them with the passing game. And he couldn't do it. Not even close, which is why the Commanders lost almost every game the second half of the season. Take away the simple plays that Jason could perform well with and stop Portis... and there is literally not much the Commanders can do on offense.
Campbell's release is glacier-like, he reads defenses like a pre-schooler, his decision making is atrocious when he doesn't have a 3 yard dumpoff staring at him, and he throws about 1 TD per month.
The book is out on Campbell, and he isn't going to cut it as a starter.

now he plays in the NFCE and has progressed each year(baby steps). And he is a solid starter who is not going to cost you many games.
See above. Again, the only reason he did decent at the beginning of last year is because teams didn't know the few simple plays that he could perform reasonably well with... and once they figured that out, Jason struggled to pass the ball *at all*.
Not cost you games? He throws few INT's, you mean. He costs plenty of games by being unable to create much of any passing game. Some QB's have as many TD's in one game as Jason will throw in half a season.
He cost you guys PLENTY of games.

Give him a 2nd year with a stable o-line and the same coach/wr's and let's look at him next February. If his play doesn't go up a ratchet, cut him, and give colt :ralph: a go.
You might as well go ahead and grab your vomit bag and get ready for some Colt Brennan.

but the only way i would do this trade is straight up, and the Broncos are not doing that.
I don't think many teams would give you very much at all for Campbell and nothing else.
