Broncos to trade Cutler

I think Skins fans are so used to Campbell developing at a snail's pace that they forget some QBs can come in and play right away.

I see what you're saying, but Favre couldn't really get comfortable with the Jets last year. McNair had issues (while he was very effective) with the Ravens playbook after not being around for the offseason programs. Two veterans had issues with picking up a new O, it can't be that easy.

I think that it is less "JC developing at a snail's pace" and more the West Coast Offense throwing off the way a QB plays; it takes away playmaking instincts which, I believe, Jay relies on.

Steve Young says that it takes 3 years to get a QB used to the WCO and we want to give up on Campbell after 1 and change QB's, I guess that's okay if you think you're getting significantly better (I don't believe you are) or you're committed to your HC (I don't believe you are) and he's committed to the new QB.
