I remember a couple of years ago all the critics were talking about Vince Young like he was going to be the next Joe Montana or whatever. I guess they have pretty much abandoned that ship by now. He has the skills but, something has made him gunshy. Reminds me of Trent Green after he took that nasty hit vs Cincinatti.

I’ve been reading a bit about this whole situation and listening to some analysis on it, and while I really don’t like Cutler, two things come to mind.

1) He’s a a good QB. Plain and simple. The new regime had no QB issues to speak of entering its tenure in Denver.

2) McDaniel’s has yet to acknowledge that Cutler is “his guy.” He goes on record with ESPN and insinuates that Cassell was “his guy” right after he met with Cutler and did the same thing.

The longer I follow this situation, the less of a bitch I think Cutler is being and the more of a douche I think McDaniels is proving to be. I think he walked into a stable franchise and fucked up royally. This has the potential to set them back for years.

And get a nice bidding war going with all the interested parties, there’s no reason to think they can’t get a player and 2 #1’s. I’m serious.

Cutler is under contract, at a dirt cheap rate for a top-10 (let’s be fair…he is) QB. The team that acquires him won’t owe him bonuses…granted, he will probably want to renegotiate, but they won’t be able to force them, thats for sure.

If you’re Detroit, why wouldn’t you trade #20, next years 1st and a player? I think they’d trade #1 and #20, but unless McDaniels is sold on Stafford he may prefer next years #1 and a chance to go after a better crop of QB’s.

I love that Denver is self-distructing, but still concerned about what they may get back in trade.
