Cutler expects say in Bears' roster....

I think it’s like Bob Dole’s hand wave while speaking, Shanahan’s hair part, and Mr. T’s gold chains.
 
All so commonplace, your subconscious phases them out. They happen, but somehow the brain’s cortex doesn’t process them.

Or, maybe, his dad yelled at the writer to take them out.

since they are the play callers. There input of who they want out there should be at least looked at very closely. The msm is just pumping up the volume on Cutler to say; see,see, we told you so, look how stupid McDaniels was to let a projected franchise quarterback get away.

Dante Culpepper made Randy Moss.

assessment of JC, may I suggest that this may be the wrong place to look…..

I can’t speak for anyone else, but the Broncos’ first pre-season game is in one day, and I (we) need something to jizz-jazz about in the meantime.

That said, after the trade, things cooled down and people moved along, but Jay just has a habit of being too “honest” sometimes. This is one of those occasions.
The comment in itself isn’t a big deal, but prior to McD’s hiring, Cutler actually thought he could tell Mr Bowlen which coach he should hire. So the receiver remark reminds us of this fact.
Also, Broncos fans have to take offence when a quarterback claims he “made” our team’s two best receivers. Leader or not, Jay must have some sorta ego to think Mike Shanahan drafted Eddie Royal to be a kick returner and would have kept him as such had Jay not “discovered” him.
And, again, we have to take offence when someone (regardless of who) debases the Broncos’ fanbase.

Well, basically, it’s little things like this that can’t help but throw the tiniest grain of sand at your eye. Honestly, though, I think a lot of people are just taking the mickey now (i.e. having fun with it), even if it’s not the entire fanbase, if there’s an excuse for some comedy, then what the heck? You know?

Like when the eagles called McNabb before drafting Kolb…

You can’t use that TO example to prove your point. You think Kraft and his brainkids called Tom Brady before getting Moss and Welker on the roster? This is more about attitude than communication.

Hi Syndor, you bring up good points. Believe me, most of us (myself included) were strong Cutler supporters up to the point he decided he didn’t want to be a Bronco anymore. As was mentioned in a post above, Jay was likely involved in certain personnel decisions related to the offense on the field, specifically Eddie Royal. But honestly, isn’t it the QB’s job to identify who the best playmakers are on the field and put the offense in a position to succeed? I don’t think Jay should be given too much credit for Royal and B-Marsh’s success because I don’t recall seeing Cutler in the war room on draft day. His job was to get the ball to the receivers so they can utilize their skill sets which were identified by the Broncos front office.

Cutler was a fine teammate here with his offense as well and I’m sure he helped his young receivers along during preseason as well. It wasn’t until the season progressed that we started to see what kind of teammate and leader Jay was. Just wait ‘til that critical pass gets dropped with less than 2 minutes to go. See what kind of teammate Cutler is then. If he pulls the same crap he pulled here (calling out his receivers, moping aloofly on the far side of the bench, etc) you’ll find yourself trying to justify his antics much like we did.

A lot of the vitriol being displayed through this post is a byproduct of the fact that Jay no longer wanted to be a Bronco. I for one am not going to rehash that to you but I think you should take some caution in describing Cutler’s leadership skills right now before the first preseason game is even played.

Sure, everything’s rainbows and unicorns right now…..but when the trials of the season set in, coupled with the mounting expectations coming from the country’s 3rd largest city, then you’ll see what kind of leader you have. I hope I’m wrong because I’d like to see the Bears succeed, but I just don’t see Jay measuring up to what you’re expecting. Sorry….

Thanks for your post. Come by anytime….we’re good people here.

If they also asked the recievers who they thought should be the starting QB? I mean, they do have to catch what the guy throws and then take the hits when he stretches them out over the middle. They should have some say in who that person is right?

This is a humorous post, but it was the same Cutler who took credit for allegedly making the recievers what they are. If you listen to his prior interiviews, he could make any rookie into an Eddie Royal.

Of course, Royal’s ability to run routes and get seperation must have been due to Cutler too, right? The problem with Cutler “getting comfortable” with certain recievers, is that he then locks in on those recievers and starts forcing throws to them instead of looking for more open guys who he isn’t as “comfortable” with.

The coaches are the ones who design the offense and determine the routes. They are well aware of who is doing their job and who isn’t. If they are not, they need to be gone. They should be able to determine all by themselves who the best recievers on the team are for a given play or given situation. Cutler just needs to get the ball to whoever is out there instead of worrying about the personalities.

As to being a leader, what do you think the recievers are thinking now? Do any of them wonder now if they are pleasing the QB along with doing their jobs as the coaches have outlined it?

Hilarious. That just made work a little bit more bearable.

but from a fans standpoint, I really can’t say I expected any different from him. I am not an apologist by any means, especially with Cutler. But I understand why he said it. I think it was meant to appeal to Chicago’s fans more than anything. I think he was buttering up the fans just to make himself look better to them. I think there was a little ill will towards Denver in there, but not nearly as much as people made it out to be. I can’t expect him to be any more adult than that though. His well documented feuds with Rivers and his “poor me” attitude during games really speaks to his character—or lack thereof.

thanks for the laugh. see you around, man.

You got me there. Good Rickroll.

So much for that, lol. :p
