Cutler wants out?

[Rayman]

I guess I gave too much credit to a fucking NFL coach. I expected him to have half a brain. Excuse me for expecting too much.

People defending this seem to be missing the big picture here. Its Matt fucking Cassell. The fact that people actually believe this guy is anything beyond a glorified injury fill-in on a great team is beyond me..

Stop making sense.

I never said it was smart or defendble . I said it wasnt suprising to me .

Its surprising to me that he could be so stupid. That isnt surprising to you? Maybe im missing something about Josh McDaniels..

He had Cassel last year , noted on how quick of a learner Cassel was and even said Cassel has "all the weapons to be good" . Hes already molded Cassel into the kind of offense he likes to run and clearly beleives in the guy.

Is it dumb that he wanted Cassel? Maybe , Was it suprising to me? No

I want to know how much control Mcdaniels has in the organization. If he doesnt have the much control then the fault is with the front office. If he does have a lot of control then why would the broncos give a rookie head coach full control?

He has a lot of control over who the Broncos sign in free agency, and who they draft. The Broncos have a brand new rookie GM who is more of a salary cap guru.

From rotoworld:

NFL Network's Adam Schefter confirmed that Jay Cutler will not be on the trading block whatsoever moving forward.

This seems obvious enough, but it's good to hear it confirmed. It seems clear that Josh McDaniels preferred Matt Cassel to Cutler, but it's not like there are other "franchise quarterbacks" available. Far greater coach/player conflicts have blown over, and this one will too in time. It's March.

People are reading to deep into this. This will be blown over by mini camp and you will have Cutler saying how he likes to play for Mcdaniel, how he loves Denver and Mcdaniels will say how much he likes Cutler.

Exactly. Its obvious nothing would have happend. Mcdaniels isnt dumb.

Can we really be sure of this?

It doesn't help that ESPN is everdoing the story.

Julius Peppers, Jake Delhomme to Denver for Cutler and Crowder or moss or Dumerveil...that would be sick i think the Panthers would make the Super Bowl with Cutler

[Hasselbeck]

Seems as though Denver wasn't just "listening" to this trade.. but they would have pulled the trigger on it had Tampa not missed the boat on the offer.

DID BUCS’ OFFER FOR CASSEL COME TOO LATE?
Posted by Mike Florio on March 1, 2009, 1:30 p.m.

ESPN’s Chris Mortensen has reported, with excellent elaboration via ESPN.com’s Tim Graham, that the Buccaneers offered a first-round and a third-round pick for quarterback Matt Cassel as part of the menage-a-trade that would have sent quarterback Matt Cassel to the Broncos and quarterback Jay Cutler to Tampa. So why did the Pats pass?

A reader has shared with us this nugget from Michael Felger of WEEI: Put simply, the Bucs arrived at the party too late (and possibly with a cinnamon bobka).

If that’s the case, then it all makes sense.

But Mort says (via Graham) that the Broncos were willing to give up their own first-round pick — No. 12 overall in the draft — for Cassel. Under those circumstances, why didn’t Belichick bite?

We agree with Mortensen’s suggestion that Belichick would be less willing to help a former assistant coach than to help the front-office guy who helped set the table for those three Super Bowl victories in four years.

Mort also suggests that the Pats leaked word of the Broncos’ effort to trade Cutler to the Boston Globe as a way to mess with the Broncos.

Um, wow.

We only wish that the Broncos and Pats played each other twice per year. As a consolation, the Broncos and Chiefs still do.
