We all know how an offensive coordinator with a great offense works out as a head coach, i.e. Norv Turner. I wish McDaniels the best, but it is not the smartest thing to alienate arguably your best player.

Or alienating the team's fanbase.

Orton had his best year last year, showed strong leadership, and played through a really tough ankle injury. I think McDaniels can get some get nice stats out of him in a bad division, their backfield will be healthy, and they can now use this new stockpile of draft picks to improve their defense.

Both Cutler and Denver are losers in this one, but I think Cutler is more of the loser.

Man, what's with f'ing Mike Florio??? Is he pissed off b/c his rumor didn't become a reality? I swear, we should flood his f'ing website.

Yeah that's pretty lame. He brings up a game that took place 69 years ago? Wow.

I'm sure if we landed Cutler he'd be all over us for once again mortgaging the future for a big name.

Everyone loves to bag our team, and everyone likes to read/hear what those who bag us have to say. Sadly it's just the cool thing to do.

I'm really happy right now and I'm even more happy in the way JC (the real one) handled this. I seriously see him reflecting on this whole ordeal someday on Americas Game

Man we need something new to talk about.

It's one thing to be aggressive with personnel moves like the Patriots, but it's another thing to be taking too many risks and risking too much with one player (several times)like the redskins have done. That's not calculated risk-taking, that's gambling. It's almost like Snyder and Cerrato are the ultimate gambling addicts.

Chicago took alot of risk in trading those picks for Cutler, but at least there haven't been several risks that they have taken like this over the last few years like the redskins have done.

I think someone needs to sit McDaniels down and tell him the following:

- Bill Bellichick has three Superbowl rings and that allows him to do whatever the hell he wants in his team. You can't do whatever the hell you want when you're a rookie coach.

- You're supposed be a genius with QBs, why couldn't you work with Cutler?

- Unlike in Boston, in Denver football is the #1 sport. There are no Red Sox or Celtics to deflect attention. Don't piss off the fans anymore.

JC is showing class. I think he still is too passive and holds the ball too long, but I respect him a lot right now.

You may be right, but we don't know who for sure was the one who wanted Cutler.. It may be just our Danny boy, while everybody wants to keep Campbell.. It may be other way, but the only thing we won't know is who tried to pull the trigger.. From what Campbell have said, it appears as if Zorn was on his side..

I tend to think Danny is the anti-JC force and everyone inside the franchise knows this to some extent. Players have supported JC in the past and would now if they weren't being mindful of Danny's potential wrath. I think Zorn, a character guy himself, likes Campbell a whole lot and knows he can turn the kid into a Pro-Bowler much as he did the similarly talented Hasselbeck. Again this is why i think Danny is so f'ing stupid for thinking we need to mortgage the future (at OL, LB, etc) to get the flashiest QB available this year. QB IS NOT OUR ISSUE LOOKING AT JC'S TREND OF IMPROVEMENT AND WHO WE HAVE COACHING HIM UP. Take the best OL or Rey @ 13 and laugh all the way home

Man, what's with all the CAPS today? LOL. By the way, anyone who wants to feel better about themselves as a football, go over to the Denver Post or any other Denver area newspaper/sport website and look at the comments left by people on this situation. People are going f'ing insane. The Denver Post had a whole bunch of fan rants in their website. McDaniels is not a popular guy right now in Denver.

Ugh. Between two threads almost 1000 posts about Jay Friggin Cutler. I'm done.

I am glad this is over. I think we should have this same Campbell vs Cutler thread a year from now and see what's up. I am so looking forward to seeing JC play this year. I think with the various problems the Redskins have had in the past we have yet to see how good JC can be. No one else could do much here since DS became owner and it's not all on the QB. We shall see.
