Saw this article on yahoo(sorry if it's been posted)
As you probably noticed, I haven't been terribly critical of Jay Cutler during this whole fiasco with the Broncos, but here's a new little twist that makes me think Cutler is indeed being a silly goose: He now says he never wanted to be traded.
Jay Glazer, bless his heart, ran into Cutler last night at UFC's Fight Night 18, and took a break from watching the sweaty men pummel each other to talk to Cutler.
"I was surprised they decided to trade me this soon," Cutler told Glazer in his first comments since the statement was released. "I didn't want to get traded. This wasn't me. (The Broncos) had been going back and forth saying things, wanting me to be their quarterback and then they didn't."
"I really didn't want this. I love Denver. I really like my teammates. I didn't want it to get this far."
And that just has to be nonsense.
I gave Cutler the benefit of the doubt at first, because it seemed odd that he'd been a nearly-model citizen for three years under Mike Shanahan. Then comes in a daisy-fresh head coach, and all the sudden, Cutler's a problem child? I didn't buy it.
And if Cutler was a problem, it would've probably behooved the new coach to smooth things out, as opposed to what he did do, which was take a stand, fold his arms across his chest and let everyone know that he's the tough guy in the room.
I don't suppose any of that matters anymore, as the decision's already been made to trade him. But it irks me that Cutler takes the high road now.
You wanted out, fine. You got it. Let that be enough. Don't come back now with the "I still want to be the good guy!" routine. The need to have your every whim catered to, and to also be the public's darling reminds of another quarterback who went through some turmoil last season, who also happened to have the same agent.Comment

Having a Quarterback that isn't Kyle Orton or Rex Grossman is worthy of giving up all 7 of our picks Mike Ditka style.
We finally have a QB who is competent. The Bears have had decent WR's who show promise but nobody to ever get them the ball.You guys saying "that is too much" don't realize how awful our QB struggles have been over the years. It's physically frustrating at times to have such retards at QB.
The Bears got hosed.Comment

Originally posted by glenwillettHA ha Jay! Just went from throwing to two pro bowl wideouts and a great slot guy and your best friend on the team in Tony Scheffler. To Devin Hester, Greg Olsen, and who the fuck knows!
Can't wait to see you flame out 6. Jason Street is the only 6 to me now you son of a bitch!
Cutler will be fine. Hester and Olsen will both benefit greatly from having a guy with a big arm on the team. Furthermore, Olsen > Scheffler, in life and in football. Cutler will make a new best friend.Comment
