I sure hope your right.

I have to say, I am not worried about the MVP accolades, those will come if he not only wins in the regular season, but what he does in the playoffs. The main thing I like is that he has listened to Shanahan, and that was something I questioned if he was mature enough or willing to do, I have been proven wrong. I hope that he continues in his consistency and using everyone on the field, that is the mark of a true great QB. When you understand where your greatest mismatches are and exploiting them, learning from the mistakes, and having a short memory as far as not celebrating too much or getting down too much, those are things great QBs all have.

and rec’d.

I think it will come down to Kurt Warner and Jay Cutler for MVP…the sad thing is, the media will give Kurt the nod because he brought the Cardinals out of the dark…at “37 years young!”. I can hear it all now…my pessimistic side of me says. That will only change if Cutler wins out…..12-4 baby!

Great job, Tommy. Great pics, too.
Of the heros of the last game, let’s not forget the O line. They are learning to run-block in as big a way as they have been pass blocking. I love Hillis’ passion and Pope’s speed, but two weeks ago the holes just weren’t there like they were yesterday.

Just watched the game for the third time. Big ol’ holes….Does Hillis ever go down on the first defender’s tackle? Haven’t seen a Bronco run over people like that much for quite a while. Wow.

My apologies – bold wouldn’t turn off…

Rec’d fo’ shizzo!

Tommy T you hit it out of the park with this one. Great job.

he has proven that a relative rookie can be a leader.
This is rubbing off on BM, Eddie, Hillis, WW and the Stormin’ Mormon.
They are maturing before our eyes….and we still have the steadying, actions spek louder than words in Champ and DJ.
TOTALLY RECOMMENDED my friend.
Did you hear the comments BM said about Larsen…pretty great statements.
This is a TRUE team that will turn into a CHAMPION TEAM fro years to come!

But I still think Jay is still in the “shows flashes of great ability” stage, more than a great QB just yet. He’s only in his 3rd year, and as everyone knows, quarterbacks develop at their own speed. He has shown the ability to move on from questionable decisions, but he still has trouble protecting the ball and looking off Marshall (although to his credit, he has done that much less recently). He has a great game and then he can go out and look completely boneheaded. I still have doubts about his in-game management and sometimes his mouth writes checks that his ass can’t cash, pardon my French. Hopefully he will soon discover that it’s better to show how he’s got a stronger arm than Elway, etc, then talking about it and then proceeding to look foolish.

It’s funny, the prevailing wisdom around here at MHR after a win is usually to praise Jay to high heaven, and after a loss, all start questioning if he’s “arrived” yet (which goes to show you how he’s basically the entire team right now). It’s growing pains. I personally think Jay will be consistently good, likely even great, but I disagree that he’s already there. And setbacks will be part of the journey. We just have to trust that his natural skill and affinity for football will shine through, or he’ll eventually hit a wall, and leave us all looking for Teh Answer again (although if anyone has that now for a) a defense and b) a tailback, please share).

/cold dose of reality

//loves Jay anyway

I think it’s honestly based on what person/player helps his team collect wins, so if Denver gets to 11-12 wins, then he has to be in serious consideration for MVP!

On MHR Radio, I remember hearing Guru say that he thinks that Jay will be a good QB on the road considering what he dealt with at Vanderbilt. I see what he is saying and the last two weeks were testiments to that.

It is so much fun watching Cutler go to work. I can’t say this enough, I am so stoked Shanny traded up to draft him.

appreciate it

Very entertaining and well done. We have something special there, Tommy.

I’ll have to admit you confused me with “PHillis.” That is so close to “Phyllis” that it stopped me for a moment. (heehee)

Don’t let this be your last contribution. :)

In the offseason i am very active on this

I usually attend every MHR radio but for some stinking reason i can’t get it to work

Now for the bone heads on ESPN today. They were interviewing the Vandy head coach today, and in the interview mentioned the fact that Vandy is going to a bowl game this year, the first one since 1986. Then they mentioned two players from vandy that went to the NFL and asked him if the fact that the NFL are picking some players from Vandy, if it helps his recruiting any! DUUUUGH? Dumb question to start with, but even dumber when Jay Cutler was not even one of the two players mentioned.

If its the sports casters who vote then JC will never get one. I hope that it is the players who do the voting, but I really don’t know how they come up with that decision.

A large part of any young QB’s development is based on getting complementary players that accentuate his strengths. The Broncos have been doing a good job of this since JC was drafted.
