David Letterman's Top Ten: Ways To piss Jay Cutler off

by PearlJamBroncoGFunk on Jul 5, 2009 2:25 AM MDT Comment 30 comments

(disclaimer: This is purely intended for entertainment, I do not represent and am not David Letterman, I didn't really know if I should spell his name wrong on purpose to avoid any issue, or use the phrase 'piss off' for that matter... but there I went... And I respect Jay Cutler as a player, and would have loved to have seen what him and Our new coach could have accomplished together)

That being said and assuming that we all have a sense of humor (which is the emphasis for this, in case you aren't familiar with Letterman's top ten) and know a little history of Jay, Dave and recent ongoings.....

David Letterman's Top Ten: Ways To piss Jay Cutler off

10. - Have a referee make a bad call.

9. - Push him into the pool at the Pro-Bowl.

8. - After pushing him into the pool at the Pro-Bowl, have him come into the game, trying to make up for a defecit.

7. - Have him and John Elway actually have a strong-arm competition.

6. - Watch his reaction when he throws an interception.

5. - Throw Bus Cook in jail.

4. - Start calling him Neckbeard.

3. - No one buys his houses in Denver... Ever.

2. - Pretend there's a hint of a chance to have his favorite target be traded to the same team he was.

(Drumroll)

1. - Pat Bowlen and Josh McDaniels agree to hire Mike Shannahan as Quarteback Coach for the Denver Broncos.

I had thought of number one, debating on what they would hire Mike to do, and what he would realistically be cool with... Then realized, it doesn't really matter, and of all things, how ironic.... Then #2 came to mind, and naturally, # 6 and #10.... But then when I thought of #7 I had to post it. I really bare no ill-will toward Jay just because of the situation, but this certainly seems to show a lot of what my subconcious, presumably, has gone through....

Anyway, I hope I wasn't the only one who got a kick out of it, and was excited to find out that the Bears and the Broncos don't have the same Bye-week, so at least we'll be able to have a game we can all fully enjoy and relate to in some degree during Our Bye.

I will be posting a hypothetical 53 man roster, this week and one thing I keep coming back to is only keeping two QB's, in order to allow another position's depth... Thoughts on that, and of course any cleverness you might amend/ add to the aforementioned list here?

Brandstater was actually a 6th round pick, not 5th.

thanks for the smiles

In this slow part of the off-season, humor is always welcome.

Pray for the best, prepare for the worst, and know you will come down somewhere between the two.

It was tough not to move that one up (down?) the list to #2....

But I knew there was a classic one, like the one Rocko came up with below about having KO get paid more than him… Thanks bradley!

No. 1 could have been

Pat Bowlen and the Broncos agree to a new contract with Kyle Orton. He now makes $2 mil per year more than Jay Cutler.

by rocko1 on Jul 5, 2009 11:37 AM MDT reply actions 0 recs

good call Rocko.

Say, you’re a Bears fan right?

How do you think Angelo will do when Cutler wants a new deal? No prodding or sarcasm intended. Do you really think he’ll make him the highest paid quarterback in the game? That’s imminently what Cutler and his agent want. How do you see that playing out?

If I had to guess

Cook is already greasing the wheels at Halas Hall for a new deal. Over the years, the Bears have been pretty tight with the buck and now might be the time to try for a discount. While Cutler does have potential, he really hasn’t accomplished anything in the NFL. The highest paid QB is Roethelsberger and the Steelers have two SB trophies with Ben behind center. I believe the Bears will try to make Cutler happy, but will not give him top $$ until he leads the Bears to at least a NFC championship game. The Bears are currently about $17 mil under the cap for the 2009 season.

I knew Chicago was being more conscious with money

I just thought I’d get your input since your a part of the (other) orange and blue. Haha. Don’t get me wrong, if Cutler performs and does things for your team, I hope he gets the deal he deserves. No doubt about it, if he puts up another Pro Bowl type year and gets Chicago to the NFC title game, he certainly would deserve a pay day. I guess all I can do is speculate the “what-if” scenarios at this point.

A fan of both orange and blue teams

Imo, out of the two, KO deserves the new contract.

Post at Por Football Weekly today

Cutler will have a new contract by the start of training camp (or shortly thereafter)

By the way, do you realize that we get to suit up Brandstater each weekend for the game but that he doesn’t count against our player’s totals. I understand that your Q was about the 53 player total, but seriously – the Broncos are not going to drop Simms. Quality experienced backups, especially those that were recently hand-picked by the new HC are in short supply. You don’t go into the season with your only backup being a recent 6th round draft pick. I like Brandstater, but he’s not ready to play this year in the NFL and he shouldn’t have to be.

That's right

I forget about the emergency back-ups, that don’t count against the roster, so easily…. Thanks for the reminder Bear!

Is that even in the regular season bear? I didn't vote my category wasn't there.

Most teams work with 3 QB’s, right? I would of voted for: are you crazy, but…just saying.

by bfree2bronc on Jul 5, 2009 6:49 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

Complete agreement on Simms

I wish the Bears would see the light and get an experienced no.2 with playoff experience. Imo, Cutler could really benefit from a veteran QB who has been through it all.

BB: Do you mean

By the way, do you realize that we get to suit up Brandstater each weekend for the game but that he doesn’t count against our player’s totals.

…that Brandstater can suit up on sunday as the emergency QB and not count as one of the active 45 players for that game? But he would still count as one of the 53?

Yes on the EMR QB, and I'm not sure on the 53

But someone around here knows. Folks?

by Emmett Smith on Jul 6, 2009 3:06 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

he doesn't count against the 53

since he would likely be on the practice squad. But if he isn’t on the PS, he will count against the 53-man limit.

There is no army so powerful as an idea whose time has come.

by Jeremy Bolander on Jul 6, 2009 7:46 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

I'm still confused

My unsure understanding (which is why I asked) is that if Brandstater is on the practice squad, he cannot play in a real game. To do so, he would have to first be signed to an active contract, at which point he would count as one of the 53. Then, on Sunday, each team designates 45 players as active for the game. If they have a third QB on the 53 man roster, he can suit up and go into the game as an emergency QB only if the other two are both hurt. If that happens, he’s in for the rest of the game – neither of the first two QB’s can re-enter the game after the third guy goes in, unless the third guy gets injured and has to come out. In this situation, the thrid QB does not count as one of the 45.
Let’s hope the Broncos don’t have to deal with it. But I wouldn’t mind seeing another team (Bears/Chargers e.g.) have to deal with it. Just so I could gain an understanding of the rule, you know.

Best I could come up with

NFL’S “third-quarterback” rule
Taken from nfl.com

Seventeen years ago (1991) the third-quarterback rule was instituted to enable teams to have an emergency quarterback available who was not on the 45-man game-day active roster, since many teams, for strategic purposes, only carried two quarterbacks on their game-day roster.
   The 3rd QB can not play before the 4th qtr. unless the other two QBs are injured. (Injured is defined as going out and not coming back.)
   The rule states that if a third quarterback is inserted before the fourth quarter, a team’s first two quarterbacks cannot be used in the game at any position.
  Another aspect of the rule is sometimes misunderstood. It is a coach’s decision as to whether a third quarterback will be used.

The active quarterbacks do not have to be injured for a team to use its third quarterback.

Thanks

I thought there was something about the 4th quarter in the rule. Still not clear in all its aspects – will hope the Bears or Chargers clear it up for me this season.

Thanks weazel = )

yeah, if I’d have devoted more time to thinkin’ about ‘em, a few could have been much more specific and such, but I agree, Rocko’s #1 is fitting. I’m glad I had somewhere where others had the chance to appreciate it (especially in the slowest stretch of the off-season) and add to it. I did expect a few more original ideas contributed, but it’s hard to beat #5, #7 was too classic to me, and Rocko’s #1. Nonetheless,
Thanks everyone who contributed and appreciated!

My number one reason for pissing Jay Cutler off:……………………………………..Keep saying that he’s not any good and watch him prove alot of people wrong!
Honestly guys look: The more people want him to fail, the more he will use that to make himself better. For all of us who used it as motivation to go further…the criticism was worth it because it made us stronger and we fought harder for what we wanted.

That's how a lot of us feel about

what people feel/say about the Broncos this season… Just keep underestimating, fine by me = )
Kind of an exemplary example here……

Yeah, just in case you were not catching the whole of this post was an attempt at humor.

I dig (especially ‘used to dig’) Jay and am aware that he is highly talented. It is just natural to be negative about a good player leaving your team.
It’s funny how people see this and go, ‘oh someone else ripping on Jay Cutler’ and completely neglect the disclaimer’s intentions of clearing up that inaccuracy, but oh well.
