Meeting Goes Wrong, Cutler Officially asks to be Traded

[celtsxpatsxsox]

If thats true I don't blame cutler at all. The coach comes in says hey you're our guy lets do this thing, and then tries to get rid of him and furthermore denies it? I'd be mad too, coulda at least been honest and upfront with the guy.

What would you expect McD to say? "Hey chances are you are going to get traded this offseason". Of course he was going to say Cutler is our guy. It was pretty much a lose lose situation for McD.If he announces this as soon as the offseason starts then this whole situation lasts the whole offseason and could of affected some of the guys that they signed. If Cutler did have a problem with it then he should of talked to McDaniels Privately and not go running to the media and ignoring every effort the Broncos are doing to contact him. Cutler is seriously reminding me of a little kid that gets all mad when his parents dont let him get what he wants. Now the Broncos need to get him out of Denver and they need to do it fast before he becomes a poison in the locker and starts to destroy the team from the inside.

Last year Brett Favre, this year Jay Cutler. Common thread between the two, agent Bus Cook. Coincidence, I think not.

That's the first thing I thought of. Bus, the new Drew.

 

[celtsxpatsxsox]

If he didn't want Cutler as his QB, maybe he should have gone to someplace where he didn't have to worry about a franchise QB already being in place? What's the fucking point in joining a team that's loaded with offensive talent, only to get rid of the leader and put himself back at square one? It's not like all Brady did in 07 was dink and dunk, I'm sure he threw plenty of deep stuff to Moss. Sub in Cutler and Marshall and off we go.

Maybe because Denver probably offered him the most money and benefits.

The more this goes on, the more it seems like this is all Cook's shitty ass way of getting a new contract for Cutler.

Jay needs to get rid of this fuck tard of an agent.

Let's add the Jets to that, too. Shame that it won't happen. I'm assuming Cutler has 0 ability to decide his fate, besides not playing?

 

[steeljake]

i wonder if belicheat is laughing his ass off after dangling cassel to McD, then giving him away to the chiefs... What are the odds that the unmaned source about the trade in the first place was the hooded sweatshirt wearing genius?

jeff garcia is looking for a job

 

[GoChargers]

lmao... Rivers is a whiner??
Thanks for shutting the Donk fans up, Jay.

I don't see him going to the Vikings as has been mentioned, but stranger shit has happened.

Why couldn't it happen? If the relationship between the Bronco's and Cutler is as bad it sounds and there is no way to fix it, Cutler is going to be had for cheap, and that would put the Vikings the mix as well.

 

[Palooza]

I like Cutler.
I like the Broncos.
Fix this shit.

 

[dope]

What are they going to give up? I love how people are just throwing teams like Minnesota, Miami and the Jets out there when none of those teams have anything to give Denver in return.

Like I said, if this is beyond all repair and Cutler wants out so bad he's willing to just quit on the team (hasn't been said or indicated but who knows) his value isn't going to be that high. Look at how cheap certain players have been had for in the past years. It could come down to a 2nd or 3rd rounder is all it takes for Cutler.

The Bronco's are in between a rock and hard place on this one, and I doubt they get full value for Cutler. The Bronco's will end up on the short end of the stick no matter where Cutler ends up

Yeah, in my opinion, the only teams that have a chance to get Cutler if he's placed on the block would be

Detroit - 2 1st round picks, 2nd round and 2 3rd rounders if i'm not mistaken
Cleveland - Brady Quinn, Derek Anderson
Arizona - Matt Leinart

So yeah, if he's going anywhere, i think it's safe to say it'd be to one of those teams, unless Minnesota, Miami, Tampa Bay give up most of their draft picks and some next year for him.

Don't make me puke. We've been perfect all off-season with our moves, the last thing we need to do now is give up 5 players for a drama queen at QB.

I think he meant that's what they have to offer, not what they'd give up.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

LOL Of course BB is laughing, I would be if I was him. The best part is he knows Cassell aint nearly as great as hes being made out to be and he probably could've gotten even more for him than he did.

We'll see what Josh McDaniels damage control is like with his situation. If it calms down a bit and Cutler comes to training camp.. and they win a couple games in-season, everything will be fine. Winning heals all. But an uninspired kid with type A Diabetes and seemingly a pretty inflated head might not be totally dedicated to giving everything he has to a coach he doesnt even like. Its all about damage control.. which McDaniels has shown isnt exactly his strong suit.

I agree with Silkmilk tho.. Cutler has had it nice in Denver so far. Shit aint gonna be so nice without Shanny around. This is a change of the franchise.. a huge change IMO. Me think inevitably Cutler might be part of the changes.. because altho I support him on-field, he seems to be making enough rumblings that he'll make it hard for his team to co-exist while something like this looms.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Id trade our #1 draft pick for Cutler, no question. With other draft picks thrown in. Id even be willing to part with....... Neckbeard.

Champions are made when they can pull through in the face of adversity.

Cutler's reputation has taken a huge hit with all of this.

I learned in high school that I don't play for the coaches - I play for my teammates and for myself. Football, moreso than any other sport in the world, is about your personal pride and counting on your teammates. Seriously, how many of us here have played for a coach that we absolutely despised while growing up as teenagers? I played for a few coaches that I hated. They were assholes. They didn't give a shit about me and I didn't give a shit about them but I played the sport because I loved the sport and I loved my teammates.

I don't think McDaniels has handled this situation in the best way possible, but if I'm Cutler I don't give a shit about McDaniels. I play for the Denver Broncos, not the Josh McDaniels. Cutler is letting his entire team down by doing this shit. Even if he ends up coming back, how can his teammates respect him after this? He's let McDaniels get in his head. There is no doubt in my mind that his teammates have to be thinking that he is a big pussy.

Football is a not a child's game. You have to be a man to succeed in the league. From Cutler's body gestures during games to this off the field whining and bitching, he has shown that he is anything but a man. He is an all world talent but a big mouth will always swallow a big arm.

He will be in the league for a long, long time and I expect him to mature some day and become the QB that everyone knows he can be. Maybe this is what he needs to experience to help him get there. Somebody has to show this kid that he isn't Peyton Manning or Tom Brady and that he is indeed expendable.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

What the fuck does Type A Diabetes have to do with anything? lol

It tied in with him not being inspired to bust his ass for someone he doesnt like. If I had health issues I certainly wouldnt want to risk anything for something I dont believe in or someone I dont trust.

Diabetes isn't that serious anymore. I played with kids in highschool that suffered from diabetes. Cutler probably has a staff of guys monitoring his blood levels before, during, and after every single practice. People with Type 1 Diabetes are able to do triathlons and 100 mile bike rides these days, he isn't in any danger.

That didn’t stop him from competing in bike races around the world. In 2005, Mr. Southerland, of Atlanta, founded Team Type 1, a cycling team of eight Type 1 diabetics who are bent on proving that people can live — and exercise — well with diabetes, no matter the type. They have competed twice in Race Across America, a 3,053-mile bike event from Oceanside, Calif., to Atlantic City. This year they came in first, and broke their own record (down 21 minutes from 2006, to 5 days, 15 hours and 43 minutes).

Their ultimate goal? To have an entire team of Type 1’s compete in the Tour de France in five to seven years.

His team-mates are hoping that this shit gets worked out and they can have a Pro-Bowl caliber QB stay on their roster and grow with the team. Especially those 2 young receivers. Cutler is coming off like a Pre-Madonna and like a sensitive mofo, but in a league with 1000 players theres going to be all kinds of different personalities. If they view him as a pussy or not, as I said before, winning heals all wounds. And I dont even think its fair to say the dude has a big-mouth.. hes probably just an emotional guy. To think you're the face of a Franchise and then some new Coach comes into town and hes looking to replace you? Yeah football is for men, but its also a business and thats bad business. As I said before, the damage-control has been poor here. Cutler may have let his team-mates down in a sense, but in the NFL you gotta look after yourself. Its easily the most cut-throat sports league in the world.
