nfoligno Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Among the most often pointed out issues involving ANY team now trying to make a play for Cuter, it is pointed out that no one has Cassel to offer Denver, which was the key in this. It is less about the new staff disliking Cuter, and more about their simply really wanting Cassel. However, Cuter wants out now, and we have all seen what can happen to a team when one of its star players begins going to the media and saying he wants nothing to do w/ that team. Well, as it has been pointed out, we have no Cassel to offer. Further, Denver, if they trade Cutler, has nothing in depth to replace him. Further still, Denver is not assured of getting one of the top QBs in the draft (assuming they even like them) at 12, much less 18. Well, here is a thought. Nothing happens until draft day. After the 11th pick, if one of the top 2 QBs are available, we make a phone call to Denver offering them the 18th pick (and whatever else to clinch the deal) in exchange for Cutler. Denver can then use their #12 pick on a QB to replace Cutler, while also now having another pick a few spots down to further improve their team. We don't have a 1st round pick, but can think of it this way. No other QB in the draft who would be available for us at 18 comes close to Cutler. We finally get a franchise caliber QB, and Angelo can be seen as true to his word (We are fixated on the QB position). I realize some are not sold on Cutler, but come on. He is a pro bowl, still young QB. Does he have flaws. Sure. What QB out there does not? If we do even consider this, I truly have to wonder what it will take for us to EVER prioritize the QB position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownman Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I whole heartily agree with you on this Nfoligno. If Angelo wants to be a man of his word and do something, then he needs to do what ever it may take to obtain a legitimate franchise QB and I believe that we would with Cutler behind center than Orton, Hanie or anyone else at this point. Your thought process makes a lot of sense and Denver would be foolish not to jump at the possibility especially if we dangle Orton with the #18 pick as well. They would have a future star QB picked at 12, obtain a veteran for the rookie to learn from for a year or two and have another pick at 18 to help shore up some of their needs and desires to improve their team. Time will tell what will happen however, it sounds good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBearSox Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Well living in the middle of this let me chime in. I don't see this happening with any team. This story was way overblown and some facts didnt get straight. Denver fans finally like what they have going on behind the center and are adamant about keeping him here. They don't want to go through all the griese/plummer crap again... Most are not entirely happy with the McDaniels signing and are siding with Jay over the new coaching staff...If they traded cutler Denver fans would be livid... I was wearing my bears jacket a few days ago and someone came up to me and said "You know what, if the broncs trade Cutler I will be rooting for that team from now on..."

Connorbear Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Cutler is an all pro QB going into his 4th yr. He is not going anywhere. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfoligno Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I totally agree it is very unlikely. McDaniels might feel Cutler isn't the perfect QB for his system. He wanted Cassel, a QB who he had the previous year and was great. But if you take Cassel out of the equation, the situation changes entirely. At the same time, I don't think you can ever write off a situation where a player wants out and asks to be traded. Is it likely we could get Cutler. Nope. Angelo aside, we just do not have much to offer by way of QBs for Denver. At the same time, I just feel we should be making phone calls and trying anything possible to make something happen. In the end, it is unlikely we could make anything happen, but it sure would be nice to read we tried, rather than sit back and just assume nothing is possible. Cutler is an all pro QB going into his 4th yr. He is not going anywhere. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
