Broncos to trade Cutler

That said, I'm not a fan of Campbell and a couple weeks ago I was adamant in my desire to acquire Cutler at all costs.... but that all ended for me the second it was reported that Cutler - a diabetic - has an alcohol problem. Not to be insensitive, but I dont want to trade anything for a guy who is likely to be unable to play football - if not dead - in a couple years. I still dont like Campbell as our QB of the future, but the risk in acquiring Cutler is just too high now. The potential rewards for such a move have greatly diminished. If he were a free agent, the story would be different, but I wouldnt give up what is likely going to be required to acquire Cutler. He's simply not worth the risk.

I guess I missed the reports that Cutler has a drinking problem.

It was hidden with the reports that the writers at PFT.com also have drinking problems.

Some blog with a Fox station in Denver reported that some unnamed source suggested that Cutler might drink too much on occassion for a diabetic...or something like that

Unnamed source in Denver said he does it occasionally?

Probably Coach McDaniels.

My man, thank you for saying it. Jason is nice, but he is going to be a career backup good one too but not a starter especially for a west coast offense. It would serve him better to be on a team with a dominant defense that only need a quarterback just to go in and not make mistakes or just man the ship. Jason didn’t make many mistakes last year however I heard critics say he missed a lot of big plays by checking down to other receives and I trend to agree with that. True our defense has been pretty good and will be better but our defense doesn't score many point like B-more or Pittsburgh so that formula would not work for us. Get Cutler and the keep Cult and groom him either for the future if the need my araise because of injury or something or use him as trade bait. Just my thoughts

[Monkeydad]

How can he be a career backup when he's a starter now?

nevermind...

Why not trade him to Tennessee for Vince Young and their #1 and #3.

He could go home, and the Titans would be able to get Old man Collins out of football.

Broncos could still trade up and get Sanchez as insurance if Young didn't work out.

What him drinking a Coors Light. There are a couple of me doing that too, guess I got a drinking problem, geez. Well at least I am past stage one, denial.

The whole drinking thing with Culter sounds a bit like someone trying to stir up a smear campaign. There's a pic of him at a wedding or something doing a shot, big deal.

I dunno, I'm coming around to the idea of bringing in Cutler. Hey why not, trade JC and toss in a pick for next year and we're SB bound.

One of the funny things about this whole deal is if it happens we will still have a QB that a segment of our fan base would hate! We're a miserable bunch, lol!

[Monksdown]

He's not going to be my beer pong partner. I would however like him to consider throwing touchdowns for us.

[hooskins]

This is really killing me. I don't know much about the drinking claim, and there really isn't a way to prove it. The picture doesn't show him doing a keg stand right, so that is all that really matters.

Again as some have been saying, Cutler IMO is not that good. Our schedule seemed much harder than the Broncos. NFC East in general is much more competitive, and I feel if Campbell was in the AFC West he would dominate. His numbers as others pointed out weren't amazing either, but yes he threw TDs.

Winning a SB is really the only cure. It isn't exclusive to the Skins, any team that has a QB that hasn't won the SB has fans that don't like the guy. Only person I think really didn't fit that mold was Peyton before his ring.
