Cutler to Matt Schaub?? And even worse, he found a way to bring Brett Favre into the equation?!?

As Ted says, Cutler didn’t check the ball down 12 times. He made every throw, short, long, intermediate and was on time and on the mark with all of them. Yes, there are things about the Broncos I have a “wait and see” approach about, but Jay Cutler is not one of them.

I have had the longest running beef with PK. Last year, I blogged elsewhere about the Broncos and one week, I decided to rant on PK, I realized by week 10 or 11 that his lead story and photo were about The Pats or a Pats player 8 or 9 of the 11 weeks or something.

Moreover, he is the essence of why people don’t like sportswriters. He writes for New England. His work belongs in the Boston Herald. In regards to actual football talk, he pumps up newsworthy players (Favre, VY, anyone on the Pats) and doesn’t shed light on anyone who his readers either don’t know much about or don’t care much about (anyone who plays for Denver).

The thing that really sickens me about guys like this is his propensity to fawn over EVERYTHING Pats-related. John Lynch signs with the Pats, PK’s take is that its a great marriage of class adding even more class. Pete, just FYI, the Pat’s aren’t the “class” of anything, nor do they have “class”, their new Safety will be out"classed" all season. Lynch was a favorite of mine until I realized 2 years ago that he always made the big hit because he was always two steps late on every pass completion. When’s the last time you saw #47 break up a pass? 2005?

He basically writes an “US Weekly” or “People” magazine article about the NFL. Popular and local stuff. That’s it.

We need to realize (self very much included) that the national media will absolutely NOT give the Broncos, Cutler, or Shanny much love until they prove that they more than deserve it this year. Think about it, maybe the writers are peeved that they have been on the Broncos bandwagon for a few years and all Denver’s done is made them look bad.
Whatever the reason, I’m just keeping it dialed in right here at MHR.com seeing as how not even the Denver Post could muster up a story about anything more than Brett Kern this Monday morning. Yikes!

still try to give a number to intangibles?

While I have no idea what Brett Farve has to do with what Peter King was talking about, I don’t think the Cutler/Schaub comparison is as ridiculous as it may seem. In fact, the two young QB were #12 and #13 respectively in the QB rating leaderboard. We must also take into consideration that Matt was in his first season as a starter and with a new organization, that he dealt with injuries and was without his top WR in 6 of his 11 appearances. I have Cutler as the #5 QB in the league (behind Brady, Manning, Roethlisberger and Romo), so he’s without a doubt in my mind better than Schaub, but Matt’s also probably in the Top Ten at the position. Just my two cents.

P.S.: Cutler has seemingly avoid the Denver media blackout, because last season I recall some people in the media predicting a Pro Bowl season and this year ESPN thinks he’ll be a Top Ten fantasy QB.

He would somehow HAVE to get that mediawhore Favre into any conversation. I quit reading that clown last year havent read him since. I dont mind he never gives Denver any love or hate, but crap, all he does is gush over NE, Favre, Romo. I dont care about his friggin coffee, crappy NJ, some stupid travel problem. He is about as useless as a one legged man in a butt kicking contest

I hate what King writes, but I can’t stop reading his colums. What I like best about the above mentioned paragraph, is that he earlier in the article writes something to the effect, that Titans fans should be worried, because VY completed so few passes. Still the rest of us should not get excited when Cutler completes so many. Go figure.

I like Z slightly better.

My favorite national sports writer by far is foxsports Adam Schein – video style (make hand gesture). It might be because he tries to stay up beat about most teams, and that he in general seems to be a positive and likeable person.

figuring out ways to take up space on a page without saying much.

I submitted my vote before I read the question. Let’s call it a preseason mistake.
But yeah, Peter King sucks.

He did it despite a slew of injuries to those around him, and despite an untreated illness. He continues to prove himself now, and pundits with little knowledge of the game will continue to make excuses for their ignorance.
