good read, noticed a few grammatical mistakes but i wont be nitpicky and point each one out.

 

[SHOGUN]

You've misspelled Leinart's name several times in the piece.

Not bad all in all.

 

[Rush]

Talent wise, Leinart and VY shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as this guy...

:cutler:

 

[USCChifan]

if VY had the weapons that cutler had in denver, he'd be on his way to a hall of fame career right about now. BTW how's cutler doing now???

No....

LMFAO. But it was a good read. Try making your wording more creative and flowing so it keeps the reader there. I had to kinda force myself to continue to read.

you seemed to break it up too much, and show an incredible amount of homerism towards Cutler. He is in no way shape or form clearly better, or had the better career for that matter.

Flat out, Vince is a winner, his stats will never be great, nobody ever said they would be, but he's won consistently he's I believe 23-13.

Vince Throws an INT on 3.8% of his passes, Cutler 3.5%. Not a big difference at all, and seeing Vince has a much better W/L I'd give him the edge. They both are ugly to watch the majority of the time, but VY does get it done.

Vince Taking over an 0-6 team, finishing 8-2 and almost bringing them back to the playoffs is greater then anything Cutler will ever do. Sorry Chicago fans.

Giving Vince the credit for turning that team around is unfair. He had a 2,000 yard rusher who teams keyed on more

That 2,000 yard rusher didn't explode onto the scene like he did until Vince took over.

So really what you're saying is Jay Cutler will never be a playoff QB? Cause as soon as he enters the post season that is > almost making it. Hell.. Vince going TO the playoffs and losing to SD to me is a greater accomplishment then almost making it.

As a passer Vince Young has been horrible until last season.

 

[Buzzman]

Cutler will obviously have good stats when the coach lets him throw the ball 40 times every game. But I will always remember Cutler for the back to back seasons where Denver collapsed and missed the playoffs because they lost there last game of both seasons. Talk about choke.

That is a HUGE stretch IMO.

I'm not sure Cutler can be the one to blame for that defense giving up almost 40PPG over the last three games of 2008.

In the last month of 2007 he threw 7td-4Int's and didn't play all thet badly.

Bottom line is the guy is still only 26/27 years old. So saying something VY did last year will be bigger than anythign Cutler will ever do is a pretty large stretch....Especially with Martz in town now.

CJ was doing well when they were losing six straight games. He could be Barry Sanders to that team if he wants, put up great stats every year but never win anything because of a lack of support.

Vince took over and they won. That's not debatable, that's fact. Whether he was just lucky to be in the position to look like he did something or whether he was actually the key cog in the machine is up for debate... by some.

I think Vince is why they finished 8-8 instead of 0-6.

And, ya, in the article there was a tad bias toward Cutler. It wasn't quite as critical of him. Statistically, he's basically better than the other two, but his general bitch-assness and reputation as a baby weren't even addressed...

Though I also can't recall if you addressed Leinart's devil-may-care partyboy attitude.

You did, however, mention Vince's faults to some extent, so now I'm conflicted...


ANYWAY, I still think it was well-written for the most part.

O Those Days, I remember I was so pumped for Martz to come to Detroit. Then you realize hes actually a shitty coach. Dont worry, when Cutler falls apart, you can just blame Martz.
