I'm pitching a tent too, lol. I kept asking myself what I was seeing, a real QB, moving around in the pocket, rolling out, throwing on the move (and not just out of bounds). He had a couple of missed opportunities, but also had some throws that were placed only where the receiver could catch it. Also, you have to hand it to Cutler. That had to be the most stressful preseason game for any player, ever. The fans booed him more than they cheered for their own team. Once he got comfortable, you could tell he was in the zone. It was only a preseason game, but the results were promising.

I almost spit my coffee out a couple of times at the hilarious comments. General consensus is they hate McDaniels, and don't like Orton. http://forums.denverbroncos.com/forumdisplay.php?f=5 I could go on and on. Every thread is filled with comments like those.

Yeah, Rideau looks like the odd man out. Davis and Knox both get in due to Special Teams.

Yeah, horrible call.

Best comment from booth: "Olsen, his wife, and Cutler make a good Threesome"

Yes, why do you ask?

Yeah, I absolutely hate when they try to compare the Cutler situation to the Marshall situation. Denver tried to trade Cutler to get Cassel, and then supposedly lied about it. Cutler didn't want to be in that environment anymore and Denver agreed. The video of him punting the ball away from the ball boy, then batting down a pass just shows how immature he is. The Bears do not need that headache.

Well deserved. I love his motor. He compliments Urlacher and Briggs. Nice trio.

Kinda like this: from People Magazine, 1986: http://www.people.com/people/archive/artic...0092688,00.html

Thats freakin awesome! more from the article: So a rookie is hot-dogging it and Cutler sets him straight. I love it. Cutler is the leader of the offense and needs to keep the offense accountable for their actions. I love the attitude.

Yes please.

http://sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/blog/roto_...=fantasy,185004 Wow, if Bennett does that we are going to be looking really good this year.

The best part will be when he struggles early. So I am hoping for another couple of good games by Jackson during the preseason to make the change even worse. The coaches and front office now have to sleep in the bed they made, and it doesn't look like everyone agrees with that direction. Now you know ever beat writer is going to be asking questions to players each week about the situation, and it will eventually blow up.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp...tory?id=4424660 Not really surprising, but any drama for them is better for us.

Another interesting note is YAC for Cutler's receivers. You would think his receivers would be somewhat padding his yardage numbers with YAC. However, that is not the case. 2008 YAC Marshall - 4.2 Royal - 3.9 Scheffler - 5.2 Now compare that to: Hester - 4.2 Davis - 4.4 Olsen - 5.0 Our defense was the opposite of vertical last year, and our guys still had similar YAC to the Denver receivers. So I believe that his averages will be the same if not slightly better, but his gross numbers will be down this year.

Those are apples to oranges comparisons. You really can't compare guys like Manning, Brady, Brees with just stats. Same goes for Cutler. Cutler's numbers actually show a couple of things on their own. Last year, 12 of his 18 INTs were thrown when Denver was behind. 8 INTs were thrown when Denver was 3rd and 6 or more. Now if he was throwing the most INTs on 1st Down, I would think that would be more alarming. That leads me to believe that some of his INT's were more situational and not necessarily his fault (trying to do too much, defense always postured against the pass). He is still going to try to fit balls in when he is late, but a lot of times, those are risk and reward type plays. If he doesn't do that, the defense won't honor anything. That has been our problem for so long. Now we actually have a dangerous QB who is going to take risks. Will they always pay off? Nope, but the defense better be ready for them or they will get burned. Grossman actually had this going on for a couple of games, but eventually his skill caught up with him. Cutler's ceiling is so much higher. Just think if Cutler was our QB for the SB. I think we win easily. That is what we have to look forward to.

That is how I feel too. I understand if you are trying to be positive, but if an 80-something QB rating in a preseason game is the best you've ever felt, Denver should be nervous.

Orton: Now you can take this a number of ways, but it sure does seem like a shot at the Bears since that is the only "talent" he has ever been around.

I believe it will be on NFL Network tomorrow night. Cutler highlights: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlig...tler-highlights Forte highlights: http://www.nfl.com/videos/chicago-bears/09...orte-highlights Game highlights: http://www.nfl.com/videos/chicago-bears/09...ars-17-Giants-3

Hilarious, Favre 1-4 for 4yds. Jackson 200+ yards with 2 TD's and counting with a QB Rating (158.3). So if this trend continues, this is going to create huge problems for Minnesota, and I love it.

http://blogs.suntimes.com/bears/2009/08/du...n_harrison.html Would he be worth it?

6 is a TD baby! They should've said, are you ready for some Favre-beans.
