Did I miss something, or is jay culter a franchise quarterback? It really isn’t a question, it’s a fact. The only reason I state it in the form of a question, is that it seems the overall sentiment is that cutler is being a whiny bitch; that he should just shut up and play football for the millions he’s being paid. That he hasn’t accomplished anything so he has no right to be doing this. That football is a business, so he should learn to deal with it. This is why the broncos organization, and its fans, suck.
I know it’s a generalization, stereotypical dissenting bronco fan and cutler supporter, but it’s the same as saying black people are more athletic than white people, that men are stronger than women. Some white people are more athletic than some black people… and then there’s the nba. Some women are stronger than some men… and then there’s the wnba. ‘nuff said. The most of you, and the organization, aren’t defending your only good player without a criminal record, which makes you either a) dumb or b) arrogant, and both are sucky attributes.
So I, a man who dislikes the broncos and would enjoy nothing more than to bathe in the tears of their failures, would like to rebut on behalf of jay cutler.
It really all comes back to pat bowlen and the organization’s misunderstanding of their situation. Whether anyone wants to admit it, the broncos weren’t a good team last year, they were a rebuilding project, no one expected them to make the playoffs, so stop it. At one point, the starting running back was white. (I don’t want to hear how good peyton hillis is, he doesn’t play a down at tailback on any other team in the league. Believe that. If you don’t, kindly remove yourself from the gene pool by trying to hug the next oncoming bus, we need more common sense in this world.) The point is, Cutler was sent out week after week with a relatively new offensive line, a white runningback, a t-mobile phone salesman, a defense about as tough as paper mache, and a pretty good receiver who enjoys getting suspended so he has more time to play “smack the bitch;” and still ended up as the number 2 ranked offense in the nfl.
And people call this guy overrated? People ask what he’s done? How bout going to the pro-bowl with the trash that surrounds him. How bout obliterating the lord and savior john elway’s franchise single season passing record. Yes, the donkeys hilariously choked a 3 game cushion to miss the playoffs, and this is where the arrogance of the organization comes in; it’s not like the broncs were the Dallas Cowboys. The hands down most talented football team on paper. That’s a team you need to blow up, that’s a team that underachieved, that’s a team where you can point to the quarterback and say, “we lost because of you.”
But apparently broncos nation doesn’t see it that way. I honestly don’t get it. The defense was downright insulting, so bring in an offensive coordinator? And further, a patriot?!? I thought you stood for something! You’re supposed to hate the pats! When has it ever been a good idea to bring in a belichik assistant anyway? Last time I checked romeo crennel doesn’t have a job, Charlie “the fat man” weiss is driving notre dame into the ground (thought: funny how cutler has diabetes and Charlie weiss does not), and mangini got fired, am I missing anyone? Has anyone been successful? But the only question anyone asks is, what has cutler done? My question is, what has mcdaniels done?
I’ll tell you what he’s done, created a rift between his best and most important player and himself. It seems to me it’s an early look at a 32 year old coach with no experience who doesn’t know what he’s doing. Big mac (mcdaniels= mcdonalds = big mac… I think this works on multiple levels. Both are cheap, fill a void, leave you thinking “that probably wasn’t a good idea,” special sauce? I dunno ask belichik.) anyway, big mac was only willing to trade cutler for career backup matt cassel. I would like to repeat that. Big mac was only willing to trade cutler for career backup matt cassel. When asked if they would trade him for draft picks (something that would make sense if you’re rebuilding a team) he said no, it was only for cassel. Sounds like cronyism to me. And it says to cutler, I don’t think you’re good enough to build around. And yet, the criticism goes to cutler. Craziness.
Put yourself in cutler’s situation. From the moment you were drafted, the team around you has gotten steadily worse. Your owner fires a coach that you trust, and promises the offensive staff remains in tact, which it doesn’t. Now your new boss comes in and instead of getting that team around you better, he wants someone better than you. And after all you’ve had to put up with you’re cool with this? cutler’s competitiveness is being misunderstood as “whining.” The guy knows he’s good, and wants to win, and doesn’t see that happening in an organization that doesn’t have a clue. The fact is, how many jay cutlers are there in the nfl? That is, pro-bowl quarterbacks under the age of 26? Ummmm, matt ryan, aaaannnd, oh yeah jay cutler, aaaannd.. no one else.
Oh shut up, it’s a business!!
If it was a real business, employees (players) would get to chose where they play, nothing about a draft is business like. On the contrary, it is the broncos to which this phrase applies. Jay Cutler is proudly raising his middle finger at the broncs and saying, “sorry, you messed with me, now it’s a business.”
When it comes down to it, I just don’t see how cutler is being the “bitch” in this situation. Eli manning was a bitch when he refused to play for
We are coming to a transition period in the nfl. The Manning-Brady-Favre era will eventually come to an end. The next era is coming, so far it’s the Roethlisberger-(blank) era. Who comes out of the cutler-romo-manning the lesser-ryan-rivers group and becomes big time. My vote goes to cutler or ryan, crazy how one of the two is unwanted.
Somewhere, somehow, the broncos forgot what it takes to win a ship. Elway needed TD before he could win a couple. Great players need other great players to win. Now that I think about it, maybe they just got lucky those two times, I mean they never gave him a big time runningback before, and finally lucked out with TD. When its all said and done, the broncos will NOT get any better by getting rid of cutler. bring in mike vick or cassel or draft some clown if you want. have fun with it
All I can do now is pray; pray that jay lasts one more year in a broncos uniform, becomes the fall guy again, and reunites with shanahan in
