I mean I understand why Jay is pissed......but now he's just making himself look bad.

I'm pissed at McDipShit for trying to get stupid Matt Cassel, and I'm also pissed at Jay for not letting it go.

"We don't want to trade Jay," McDaniels said. "We never did. He's our quarterback. We're excited about this season. And excited about what we're doing here in free agency to improve our team."

Can he really be that upset that teams inquired? I'd be humbled.

"They want me to come in and talk to 'em but I'm not doing it right now; I'm going to lay low," said Cutler. "The [Broncos] deny everything. That's a problem. We know for a fact they tried to trade me."



When I lay low, I shut up.

The media and Jay are making way too much of this.

Other teams came to Denver wanting Jay. The admin has to consider what they can get for Jay and draft picks if they are offered these things. Jay should grow up, and be happy that other teams thought enough of him to even ask.

Couldn't agree with you more, I beginning to feel they should have traded his sorry little crybaby self!! Hey memo to Jay, trying winning 10 games and getting to the playoffs until you start worrying about being appreciated. He's been nothing but a .500 quarterback since being the named the starter 2 1/2 years ago.

All he's proven to me is that he's a .500 quarterback at best. Then he whines and pouts and crys when anything adversary comes his way.

Ok

1. Peyton was in his 7th or 8th year as a Pro. Cutler is just in his third.

2. The reason they were able to win is because the defense stopped being retarded and actually played. In fact Manning had some what of a miserable post season that year. So he wasn't exactly carrying his team

The Broncos management cut off contact with the Cutler camp first, so maybe the Cutler camp wants to wait and see how things turn out when the dust settles before they meet with Doogie and Xanahan.......if being traded is still a real possibility, it makes perfect sense that Cutler does not want to meet with people that are probably just going to lie about everything anyway.

If Cutler has been immature in this mess, than he has a lot of company, and this mess was not his creation, it's Doogie's.

Doogie is a World Class Idiot for considering the trade in the first place, combine that with the pathetic class of 09 free agents and I have zero confidence that the control of the Denver Broncos Franchise is in competent hands.......

The McDaniels ripple effect…

The pebble seemed small to some but to others it was a 2 ton bolder.
The size of the stone really isn’t as important as the lake in which it was thrown. Depending on that lake, the stone could have either caused little disruption or forced waves crashing upon the banks. For those sitting on the shoreline, the natural response is to blame the water for getting them wet, those with a little more insight look at the stone as the reason for ruining their peaceful plans. Others look even farther into the matter to find the real culprit of the disruption. They conclude, “Who else could be to blame except the person who threw the stone?”

The person who took it upon himself to throw the bolder should have considered what would happen once the granite broke the calm surface of the pond. If they are going to appoint themselves the authority to do such things, they must also be held accountable for the repercussion their actions has cause. Blaming anything but the person who threw the stone will not stop it from happening again. One must go back to the starting point if they want to trace the origin of occurrences

The point is simple, even if some of this is getting blown out of proportion by Cutlers maturity level. That should have been a consideration by those that pushed this ball in motion! They should have done whatever was needed to prevent this. That is of course giving them the benefit of doubt and assuming they didn’t in fact want to trade Cutler.

If Cutler and everyone else who has had anything to say about this are right, and McDaniels did want to trade Cutler, then he has every right to be upset by this. Think about it, if they didn’t want him but are now stuck because they lost out on Cassel, the guy they wanted, that isn’t fair to Cutler. What makes them think he now wants to play for them? Why do some give McDaniels the right to decide rather he wants Cutler to play but they don’t give Cutler the right to decide rather or not he now wants to play for McDaniels?

Normally when there is deceit involved, the party with the most to gain from the situation is lying. I don’t see what Cutler has to gain from making this up? The FO on the other hand has everything to gain by trying to cover their actions.

Besides, I am glad Cutler wants to clear his head before he talks with the FO. With all those emotions involved, the outcome couldn’t be a good one. Perhaps once he settles down he will be able to sit down with them and clear the air?

Right now, almost everyone believes McDaniels tried to trade Cutler. Unless everyone involved is simply wrong, the FO is lying and in doing so, they are making Cutler look bad. That is pissing him off even more. Who can blame him for that? Some are calling him names for overreacting, well if everything he believes to be true is in fact true, he isn’t overreacting.

I hope Pat steps in before this goes past the point of no return.

Cutler is a contracted employee. I'm betting there is a clause which permits the Broncos FO to talk about trading him without prior consultation.

I believe that other teams tried to get Cutler in a trade situation, and were denied by McDaniels and the FO. Just because Cassel was a Patsy with McD, doesn't mean that McD wanted to work with him.

Hell, for all anyone knows he laughed off the idea and told folks to piss off. But Jay gets it into his head, without actually having spoken to anyone except the press, that he is on the chopping block.

Hello? This is a business, and the business is all about winning. Jay ain't winning, so he can't expect his job to be safe as houses.

Until Jay has the balls to front up to the FO and talk like a man to them, rather than getting miffed to the media, then I'm firmly on McD's side.

Jay didn't get this from the press. He said he could tell something was up the last couple of weeks by the way people were acting, he also said he "knows" for a fact they were trying to trade him.

Why would he pull that out of thin air? Also, someone told him there were trade talks, how would he have even known someone called about a trade? He is getting info from someone, that info has caused him to believe without a doubt the trade talks were serious. He obviously trusts his sources more then the FO.

If it was known as fact McDaniels really was trying to trade him, who's side would you be on?

Cutler’s agent: No meeting yet between QB, Broncos

Posted: Adam Schefter | Adam Schefter | Tags: Denver Broncos, Jay Cutler, Josh McDaniels

The Internet is abuzz with speculation that Broncos QB Jay Cutler is in Denver and ready to have a sit-down meeting with team officials, possibly even including new head coach Josh McDaniels.

But Cutler’s agent, James “Bus” Cook, called Sunday night to say that his client isn’t in Denver, has no immediate plans to be in Denver and doesn’t know the next time he’ll be in Denver.

On top of that, there was and is no meeting scheduled between Cutler and the Broncos.

“At some point in the future, I’d imagine there probably will be a meeting,” Cook said. “But right now, there’s absolutely nothing scheduled. There’s nothing to (the speculation).”

Meanwhile, Broncos sources have maintained just as adamantly that Cutler isn’t on the trading block and will not be dealt.

So there is plenty to talk about it regarding Cutler and the Broncos. But for the time being, those talks aren’t occurring between the two sides.

Kind of hard to miss a meeting when there wasn't one scheduled..

So if the deal was good for the Broncos Cutler wouldn't have a right to be upset? LOL

I think you might have missed the point of my question. Kap is on Mckids side, she also doesn't appear to believe they tried to trade Cutler.

I was trying to figure out if the 2 were linked or if she was just another Plummer supporter that automatically sides against everything that has anything to do with Cutler..

My bad.....I did misunderstand :lol:

I was a Jake supporter, and still think he got the short end of the stick, but I was a Jake supporter because he was the quarterback of the Denver Broncos, which now means I'm a Jay fan until he completely screws up.

On to this matter, I think that both sides are in the wrong to be honest..................if McDaniels believes that Cassel or any other QB is a better fit for what he wants to do, then it is his responsibility to try and get the best value he can for Cutler........I don't like it, but that's the way it is...................where he (and/or Xanders) have gone wrong is in not speaking to Jay and letting him find out through the press.

Jay is also in the wrong for replying through the press before talking to the FO and finding out what's going on................plenty of blame to go around for everyone here, IMO..............

The problem here is there are 6 sides to this story and sadly...most people are aytomatically going to believe the worst. What if the organization listened to an offer and turned it down? Big deal. Where is the factual evidence that McDaniels and Xanders ACTIVELY tried to trade him?

Are you serious?

First...McDaniels and Xanders really dont have to justify their actions to ANYONE other than Bowlen.

Second...if another team contacted them, how the hell did they get caught with their hands in the jar?

Third...McDaniels explained the scenario and Cutler continued to cry about it and refused to go talk about it. If Jay would have acted like a man and just went and spoke with them in the first place, NONE of this drama ever would have happened.

Jay didnt start this, It isnt his job to fix it. The new **** head regime did this....... They need to fix it instead of denying shit.

Maybe not quite true...


I believe if Denver offered Belichick its first-round pick last Thursday instead of, apparently, on Saturday, that Cassel would be a Bronco today and current Denver QB Jay Cutler a Buc or Lion. Cutler, by the way, will make peace with McDaniels, who's now coaching Denver. He has no choice, and he's a reasonable kid. I don't blame him for being ticked off at the Broncos for trying to deal for Cassel, but he's going to have to get over it and realize he's got a heck of a chance to win with McDaniels running his offense.

I heard one other interesting thing Sunday: Cutler asked for a trade shortly after the Broncos lost offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates -- Cutler's confidant -- to USC after the season. So maybe both sides need to go into marriage counseling here.

But it was true, they did entertain offers of a trade and didnt let Jay know up front that he could be dealt. You keep playing it off like they didnt entertain the idea of trading him which is silly. The whole deal got nixed because Xanders didnt follow through with it. When Jay talked to them initially they said the just took some calls but never denied that they werent entertaining the idea UNTIL later in the media. That is what Jay is pissed about. If the guy in question calls up and you dont reassure him that he is your guy but then go to the media later on makes you look like your being deceitful.

I was trying to figure out if the 2 were linked or if she was just another Plummer supporter that automatically sides against everything that has anything to do with Cutler..

Whoa now. I'm not neccessarily on McDaniels side, but I'm not so eager to jump the gun and say this is DEFINITELY what happened.

This is all specualtion, and I, like everyone else, am just presenting my opinion. And from what I have read, Jay is the one making a big deal whereas the FO are the ones being cool.

Yes I did support Plummer, but I believe that Cutler was brought in to improve the Broncos, and I have hoped that he would. I personally don't think he is that good of a leader on field and off, but he's done better than the other QB's in his draft (Leinart, Young).



Push comes to shove, I believe in and support the Broncos first, and individual players second. IF that makes me a Jay hater, or McDaniels lover in some peoples eyes, then so be it.

I am not seeing what you are obviously. Below are his comments refrence the trade. As for not meeting them in Denver.... Why should he? And with that, all he said was he didnt plan to be back in Denver until March 16th.

The only questionable comment made was the last one. And I dont blame him.

Not only is Cutler a kid, so is Marshall, Sheffler, Royal, and Clady.... They are all freinds, and any team in the NFL would love to have them minus Marshall's shit. Barring that Comment, he handled it as good as anyone could have.

The only other thing he could have said was no comment. Just like the Broncos could have said "Trading Jay Cutler is not an Option".

Cutler on this whole thing........

"My understanding at this point is they're trying to trade me," Cutler said Saturday. "We'll see where I end up at. I liked it here, I liked playing with these guys, but obviously they're not going to let me have that opportunity."


"What bothers me about this is I've been dropping in there regularly the last 2 1/2 weeks, dealing with these guys, talking to Mr. Bowlen, talking to Josh, talking to (offensive coordinator) Mike McCoy," Cutler said. "Day to day . . . and they didn't reach this point yesterday, you know what I mean? It's been in motion for a while."


"I'm upset. I mean I'm really shocked at this point," he said. "I could see why they want Cassel. I don't know if they think I can't run the system or I don't have the skills for it. I just don't get it. Or if they don't think they can sign me with my next contract. I just don't know what it is. I've heard I'm still on the trading block."



"Anything can be mended," he said. "I'll always play with the guys we've got. I love playing for those guys. Obviously, Josh and I's relationship has taken a few steps backward. I don't play for the coaches anyway; I play for teammates. As long as we keep the guys we've got, I'll go out there and play. I love those guys."



"I know they love playing for me, and I love playing for them," Cutler said. "There's going to be a lot of problems if they try to trade me. Well, they've already tried to trade me, but if they trade me for sure."

It has been in progress for a while, NTL. We didn't fire Shanahan pretty much outta the blue just yesterday. That was the first big shocker for Jay, blindsiding him right as the offseason started, and it hasn't gotten better.

Jay's response after:
- Bowlen fired the coach who drafted him (Shanahan)
- hired an offensive-coach who then fired his best friend on staff (Bates)
- that coach didn't talk to him for a while after he arrived (remember that flap?)
- has talked about moving his best friend on the team (Scheffler, who was in the proposed Lions deal WITH Cutler in some versions, but is also on the market by himself)
- either "listened to" or "initiated" trade talks to get an old buddy QB in here
- lied to Cutler's agent about it
- stopped talking to Cutler's agent once the story broke on the internet and let Jay make up his own mind about what was really going on in Dove Valley:

"Hey, if this is how you want to treat me, you must want me to go, so let my agent find me a deal and I'll get the hell outta your hair. I didn't understand firing Shanahan, you're ditching everyone I like and now apparently I'm up for sale before you even see me throw a football once in your system, so kissa my assa. I don't need you clowns anyway - me and my stuffed bear Cuddles will be fine without you."

The FO response: "No. But come in to talk to all of us, in private, so we can gang up on you and browbeat you into submission. We're not gonna take anything back publicly other than a terse statement to the newspaper no one reads, or back you with a press conference or anything, because for some reason we think this will go away if we "don't give it legs" (even though it has a millipede's worth of legs already) but quietly we'd like to tell you to shut up and pretend it didn't happen."

Cutler's response: "*$$()(@#@##!! #U$(#)##_-#*!!@...No."

This is wonderful. A masterpiece on all sides. :tsk:

He's made additional comments since then that were on 104.3 the fan this morning talking about how the team is lying if they say they weren't shopping him, and how you don't see teams trying to trade eli or payton etc... Dude just needs to swallow his pride and quit talking to the media.

The only ones that can fix it are Bowlen, McDaniels, and Xanders. Telling him that they werent serious isnt good enough. Why should he trust them?

I agree he needs to let it go. But he is probably being swarmed by the media. Bus Cook needs to call him, formulate a statement, release it and let it go.

take out the names for a minute...if you were in the same situation in a job you like and they broke a promise, lied and then they wanna sit down to "patch things up" would you go in there still hotheaded

Here's what we know for sure:

Other teams approached Denver looking to arrange a trade that included Cutler and Cassel.

"Someone inside" (I love that 'someone') told Jay he was being traded.

The FO have admitted being contacted.

Jay has decided that this means he is on the trade block.

Jay is upset that there has being a change in the coaching staff.

Scheffler is also being considered (as is probably half the halfway decent players throughout the NFL during FA time).

Xanders and McD have reached out in an attempt to smooth things over and Cutler rejected that... Then he told Chris Mortensen why he rejected it. That's my main problem--Bus Cook and Jay Cutler are taking this to the court of public opinion and telling anyone who will listen about why Jay has been wronged.

I disagree with the premise that he has been wronged, but even if I didn't, and I were to agree that he had been mistreated-- there is still a right way and a wrong way to handle things in the NFL... He's basically saying, "oh well they screwed me so I'm gonna screw them harder." Which is one thing if he had legitimitely been screwed over-- but he hasn't... So he needs to realize that and get over his primadonna self.

I don't quite agree with your first statement. All we do know for sure is that Denver was talking at least two other teams about moving Cutler who initiated the talks is unknown. Even if McDaniels has been straight with us about the Lions and Buccaneers coming to him, it raises the question why would they come initiate talks unless about another team's franchise quarterback unless somehow you've been give the strong impression he can dealt? More times than not franchise quarterbacks are deemed untouchable.

If this is true:

The Broncos screwed this pooch. Jay Cutler is just reacting to the bad situation they put him in.

The Broncos are not commenting on things either, which complicates matters more.

If anyone is being a bitch, its Mcdaniels for not man'ing up and doing a real presser, or flying someone out to see Jay Cutler on the organizations behalf.

Instead of blaming Jay, why dont you throw some hate where it belongs, at the front office. They started it, mishandled it, tried to cover it up, then fell silent.

Jay didn't get this from the press. He said he could tell something was up the last couple of weeks by the way people were acting, he also said he "knows" for a fact they were trying to trade him.

Why would he pull that out of thin air? Also, someone told him there were trade talks, how would he have even known someone called about a trade? He is getting info from someone, that info has caused him to believe without a doubt the trade talks were serious. He obviously trusts his sources more then the FO.

If it was known as fact McDaniels really was trying to trade him, who's side would you be on?



sounds more like PMS than ESP

If he is so perceptive than way can't he see those open WR instead of forcing the ball into Marshall..

Who's side am I on? Jay may be good, but until he is put in charge. I go for Mc Kid, Xander and Pat..

Maybe not quite true...


I believe if Denver offered Belichick its first-round pick last Thursday instead of, apparently, on Saturday, that Cassel would be a Bronco today and current Denver QB Jay Cutler a Buc or Lion. Cutler, by the way, will make peace with McDaniels, who's now coaching Denver. He has no choice, and he's a reasonable kid. I don't blame him for being ticked off at the Broncos for trying to deal for Cassel, but he's going to have to get over it and realize he's got a heck of a chance to win with McDaniels running his offense.

I heard one other interesting thing Sunday: Cutler asked for a trade shortly after the Broncos lost offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates -- Cutler's confidant -- to USC after the season. So maybe both sides need to go into marriage counseling here.


From Peter King who has as good of inside info as Adam, IMO.

If this turns out to be true it changes everything, if Cutler wanted out first there is nothing wrong with seeking a trade for him... Who wants a QB who doesn't want to play for you?

That being said, It's a big if. I read through the king article and couldn't find this statement. Did he have it removed?

The only questionable comment made was the last one. And I dont blame him.

Not only is Cutler a kid, so is Marshall, Sheffler, Royal, and Clady.... They are all freinds, and any team in the NFL would love to have them minus Marshall's shit. Barring that Comment, he handled it as good as anyone could have.

The only other thing he could have said was no comment. Just like the Broncos could have said "Trading Jay Cutler is not an Option".

Cutler's act is wearing thin -- quickly
By Gene Wojciechowski
ESPN.com

Will someone please give Jay Cutler his pacifier, hand him his favorite blankie and put him back in his crib for his afternoon nap? Because if he cries anymore about a trade that didn't happen, we'll have to check his Pampers.

Cutler is the quarterback of the Denver Broncos. At least for now he is.

Turns out the Broncos are/were shopping him. The three-way trade between the Broncos, New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn't reach critical mass, but names (Cutler to the Bucs, Matt Cassel to the Broncos) and numbers (first- and fourth-round draft picks to the Patriots) were discussed.

But it didn't happen. Repeat: didn't happen.

Instead, the Patriots traded Cassel and his franchise-tag salary to the Kansas City Chiefs. And Cutler is still a Bronco.

But the mere thought of a possible trade upset Cutler so much that he went into full waaaa-waaaa-waaaa mode, wailing like an infant. Why are they being so mean to me?

That sort of thing.

"I'm upset," he told The Denver Post. "I mean, I'm really shocked at this point."

And this from Cutler's agent, James "Bus" Cook, who told The Associated Press,

"Nobody's going to call the [New York] Giants and ask for Eli [Manning]. Nobody's calling the Colts asking about Peyton [Manning]. [Tom] Brady? Come on.
So, why call Denver and ask about Jay? And if they do call, why not say, 'That's not for discussion. What else do you want?'"

Why call Denver and ask about Cutler? Because the Broncos haven't reached the playoffs since the 2005 season. Because Cutler's record as a starter is 17-20. Because new Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels just happened to coach Cassel last season. And Cassel's team finished 11-5, including a 41-7 victory against Cutler's Broncos in October.

Nobody is calling the Giants and the Colts about the Manning brothers because the Manning brothers actually reach the postseason and have won Super Bowls. And here's guessing somebody called the Patriots asking whether Brady might be available.

Cook, more than anyone, should know that anything is possible in the NFL. Just ask Brett Favre, one of Cook's longtime clients.

Don't get me wrong -- Cutler is a talent, possibly a major talent. His numbers keep tracking upward (4,526 passing yards, 25 touchdowns in '08), but so do his turnovers (18 interceptions, including four in Denver's last three games -- all losses) and hissy fits.

None of this Cutler trade talk likely would have happened if Mike Shanahan were still the Broncos' head coach. Shanahan is the guy who drafted Cutler with the 11th pick of the 2006 draft. They were attached at the hip pads.

But Shanahan is Broncos history. It happens. Last week it happened to 11-time Pro Bowl linebacker Derrick Brooks of the Bucs. He was cut after 14 years.

Brooks didn't pout like Cutler. And his agent didn't issue any angry criticisms of the Bucs' decision. Instead, Brooks articulated the essential truth of the NFL: It's business, not personal.

"Everybody has a picture that they want painted their own particular way, but when the picture's not painted your way, you don't kick and scream," Brooks told reporters. "You be a man about it."

Cutler is kicking and screaming. Poor baby. He stiffed the Broncos when they requested a kiss-and-make-up session. [I]Word is he won't even talk to McDaniels on the phone.

So what if the Broncos considered proposals from the Bucs? Who cares whether they listened to an offer from the Detroit Lions? When you haven't reached the playoffs since '05, when you gag away a three-game division lead with three games left, you listen to everybody about anybody.

Come to think about it, what's so bad about the Bucs? New coach -- Raheem Morris. New tight end -- Kellen Winslow. Newly re-upped wide receivers -- Antonio Bryant (franchise-tagged) and Michael Clayton. And did we mention that Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall was arrested again?

"If they were in fact trying to trade Jay Cutler, then I think that's a situation that's going to cause a very serious problem for the organization," Cook huffed and puffed.

Why? Because Cutler's precious feelings were hurt? Please.

The nontrade causes serious problems only if Cutler wants it that way. To whine about the Broncos' kicking the tires on a trade accomplishes nothing. Especially from a guy with zero playoff appearances and a grand total of 37 NFL games.

Cutler has accomplished nothing in this league. He has pretty passing numbers, but so what? It's time for him do a Brooks and grow up. It's time for him to spit out the pacifier.

Has the "boss" said anything to the media other than denying the trade talk happened? Has McDaniels refused to talk about the scenario because he just wanted to "lay low" (while whining to the media at the same time)?

Cutler's act is wearing thin -- quickly
By Gene Wojciechowski
ESPN.com

Will someone please give Jay Cutler his pacifier, hand him his favorite blankie and put him back in his crib for his afternoon nap? Because if he cries anymore about a trade that didn't happen, we'll have to check his Pampers.

Cutler is the quarterback of the Denver Broncos. At least for now he is.

Turns out the Broncos are/were shopping him. The three-way trade between the Broncos, New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn't reach critical mass, but names (Cutler to the Bucs, Matt Cassel to the Broncos) and numbers (first- and fourth-round draft picks to the Patriots) were discussed.

But it didn't happen. Repeat: didn't happen.

Instead, the Patriots traded Cassel and his franchise-tag salary to the Kansas City Chiefs. And Cutler is still a Bronco.

But the mere thought of a possible trade upset Cutler so much that he went into full waaaa-waaaa-waaaa mode, wailing like an infant. Why are they being so mean to me?

OK...let's try Carmelo Anthony...

Melo to Jay: Bottom line, it's a business
By Benjamin Hochman
The Denver Post

INDIANAPOLIS — Recently, a Denver sports star in his mid-20s, who is devoted to the team that drafted him, discovered that his team was talking trade. Oh, come to think of it, this also happened to Jay Cutler.

Yes, one might recall last summer when NBA teams, notably Detroit, inquired about acquiring Carmelo Anthony.

"At first, it was like, 'What the (expletive) is going on,' " the Nuggets' Anthony said Sunday. "But you don't really know what's going on."

Nuggets executives will never send an opposing exec to voice mail, so when teams asked about trading for Anthony, it was their job to at least listen. But when word got out that Denver even considered a Melo trade, he wasn't pleased.

And so, Anthony could relate to the emotions involving the Broncos' quarterback, who learned Friday he was part of a proposed three-team deal with Tampa Bay and New England, although it never materialized.

"You got to learn that it is a business, especially with him," said Anthony, who last summer was ultimately reassured by Nuggets exec Rex Chapman that Denver wouldn't trade him. "(Cutler) has been the guy who they've been saying could be the next (John) Elway perhaps. (Trade rumors) are always a tough situation because you don't know where it's coming from, who's saying it, if it's true, if it's false. That was my big thing this summer. Just let me know, so I can get my mind off thinking about where it's coming from and who's saying it and who's not saying it."

With players, understandably, there is a respect factor involved. The fact that their team would consider a trade can be insulting and humbling. But, as Nuggets coach George Karl said: "Jay's got to understand there have been a lot greater players than him that have been talked about in trades. When the contracts are so big, every player is probably discussed."

Karl was critical of Cutler's comments to The Denver Post, when the quarterback said: "I don't play for the coaches anyway; I play for teammates."

Said Karl: "That comment is way out of control. . . . I don't think that sits with the team concept."

Sometimes, as Anthony can relate to, there is a temporary feeling of betrayal. But, again, this is the business they chose.

Xanders and Mcdaniels have done nothing but alienate players, and bring in shit free agents. That doesnt take maturity.

Just which players are you talking about with this tidbit " done nothing but alienate players" Mike leach? is about the only situation I did not agree with.. Jay well he is a drama queen that can't keep his mouth shut..

That is the agents job to settle his QB down and tell him to keep his yap shut..

They asked for a meeting and he declined to come to it.. I'll even bet they would have sent Pats Jet for him..

The extended their hand to talk he just decided to whine some more..

Who is the boss who is the employee?

If some moron did that to me I'd fire his ass so fast it take a week for the paperwork to catch up to him..


As for bringing in "and bring in shit free agents. "

perhaps there is more to this than you can comprehend.. the defense was in total shambles and the O needed work.. they have a limited budget..

Maybe they have a plan that will become apparent in the next few months..

Until he does something really stupid like trying to fire Pat he has my backing..


I'm guessing that many folks who have never supervised employees and have never owned a business and had to work within budgets will never get it..

Jay is just like any other player. If they field an offer and say no, they aren't going to immediately call the player and tell them that they fielded an offer for him. They have no requirement to do so, nor should they.

Jay found out about it through a leak from, we're now assuming, the Patriots, and flew off the handle, most likely before even considering calling the front office.

How to handle this better:
Adam Schefter: Hey, Jay, how's it going man? How are you?
Jay: Adam, why you calling me man, it's March. I like the Dawkins signing.

Depends on the value you place on the employee. Cutler has potential and talent, but he also has his baggage. If you feel you can be just as successful or even more successful with an employee with a different set of skills, then maybe you discuss the idea of making a switch and leave it at that.

I'm not a coach and I cant sit here and say I know jay will be more successful in McD's offense than Cassel was, but as a boss, if I feel someone will be better in a position than another person, I will definately entertain a proposal for something that is best for my work team

Adam: No, no, although, I do too, but I guess you might have been part of a trade.
Jay: Really. I can't comment yet. Let me call Pat, and I'll call you right back.

Great logical post, it is what most adults would do.

Wow do you really expect a cry baby to be adult enough not to be baited into a firestorm..

It was his Agents job to ut this shitstorm out fast and all he did was feed teh fires.. Afterall it is not new to him he was also Bretts agent..

NO he has an agenda "Show me the money".. if jay gets traded then he gets a % of it.. jay most likely gets a raise.. Follow the money trail here folks.. seems open and shut to me..

I think it is very possible McDaniels really did want to bring Cassel to Denver.

Why should he not think about it..

He would not have to teach a whiny spoiled brat a new system....

He knows what Cassell can do..

Cassell becomes another coach in the field..

Maybe he does not have the arm that Jay does but it did not seem to matter all that much in NE last year..11-5 without any experience..

Would he be able to do that in DEN maybe not this year.. but once the Defense is better absolutely..

Depends on the value you place on the employee. Cutler has potential and talent, but he also has his baggage. If you feel you can be just as successful or even more successful with an employee with a different set of skills, then maybe you discuss the idea of making a switch and leave it at that.

I'm not a coach and I cant sit here and say I know jay will be more successful in McD's offense than Cassel was, but as a boss, if I feel someone will be better in a position than another person, I will definately entertain a proposal for something that is best for my work team

What baggage does he have? That he is immature?

Do you cover your rear end so that the employee doesn't ever find out about the consideration? Are you up front with him about it?

I have no issues with the HC or FO considering moves that will make the Broncos better. But I also feel that as the HC you need to exercise good judgment and some serious CYA in order to not reek havoc in the lockerroom and alienate your QB.

Yeah, I think his immaturity and whining is baggage.

If I did something similar with an employee of mine, it would be confidential until a decision was made. However, if it leaked out, I would expect that employee to ask me about it.

if he went on a mini-tirade, I would understand a little bit, but would offer to talk with him. if, after that, he refused to talk and ranted publicly about the ordeal, his ass would be in my office whether he liked it or not and if he felt his ego wasnt being stroked enopugh, he could very well find a new job.

He didn't go 11-5 all by himself.

Cutler threw for over 4000 yards last year and made the Pro Bowl. What else does he have to prove to McKid?

The reason we DIDN'T go 11-5 last year is because our defense sucked so bad.
Now, as a new coach comming in and knowing that, wouldn't you try to fix the "D" instead of tearing apart the offense?

The offense was not the problem.

Yeah Josh, go ahead and put your stamp on the team.

Bring in your own system. Bring in some defensive help. Bring in your own coach's. Bring in a RB. But, at least try to fix the things that need to be fixed.
Cutler and offense wasn't broken until BOZO McKid came to town.

Now both sides of the ball are a mess.

Whoa now. I'm not neccessarily on McDaniels side, but I'm not so eager to jump the gun and say this is DEFINITELY what happened.

This is all specualtion, and I, like everyone else, am just presenting my opinion. And from what I have read, Jay is the one making a big deal whereas the FO are the ones being cool.

Yes I did support Plummer, but I believe that Cutler was brought in to improve the Broncos, and I have hoped that he would. I personally don't think he is that good of a leader on field and off, but he's done better than the other QB's in his draft (Leinart, Young).



Push comes to shove, I believe in and support the Broncos first, and individual players second. IF that makes me a Jay hater, or McDaniels lover in some peoples eyes, then so be it.

You said you were on McDaniels side, I was just wondering if that was because don't believe they tried to trade him or if you felt it didn't matter if they did, Cutler shouldn't be upset about it..

Here's what we know for sure:

Other teams approached Denver looking to arrange a trade that included Cutler and Cassel.

"Someone inside" (I love that 'someone') told Jay he was being traded.

The FO have admitted being contacted.

Jay has decided that this means he is on the trade block.

Jay is upset that there has being a change in the coaching staff.

Scheffler is also being considered (as is probably half the halfway decent players throughout the NFL during FA time).

You can't know that for sure! Some reports are saying Denver was trying to trade Cutler, that means they could have been calling other teams..

It has been in progress for a while, NTL. We didn't fire Shanahan pretty much outta the blue just yesterday. That was the first big shocker for Jay, blindsiding him right as the offseason started, and it hasn't gotten better.

Jay's response after:
- Bowlen fired the coach who drafted him (Shanahan)
- hired an offensive-coach who then fired his best friend on staff (Bates)
- that coach didn't talk to him for a while after he arrived (remember that flap?)
- has talked about moving his best friend on the team (Scheffler, who was in the proposed Lions deal WITH Cutler in some versions, but is also on the market by himself)
- either "listened to" or "initiated" trade talks to get an old buddy QB in here
- lied to Cutler's agent about it
- stopped talking to Cutler's agent once the story broke on the internet and let Jay make up his own mind about what was really going on in Dove Valley:

"Hey, if this is how you want to treat me, you must want me to go, so let my agent find me a deal and I'll get the hell outta your hair. I didn't understand firing Shanahan, you're ditching everyone I like and now apparently I'm up for sale before you even see me throw a football once in your system, so kissa my assa. I don't need you clowns anyway - me and my stuffed bear Cuddles will be fine without you."

The FO response: "No. But come in to talk to all of us, in private, so we can gang up on you and browbeat you into submission. We're not gonna take anything back publicly other than a terse statement to the newspaper no one reads, or back you with a press conference or anything, because for some reason we think this will go away if we "don't give it legs" (even though it has a millipede's worth of legs already) but quietly we'd like to tell you to shut up and pretend it didn't happen."

Cutler's response: "*$$()(@#@##!! #U$(#)##_-#*!!@...No."

This is wonderful. A masterpiece on all sides. :tsk:

The Broncos screwed this pooch. Jay Cutler is just reacting to the bad situation they put him in.

The Broncos are not commenting on things either, which complicates matters more.

If anyone is being a bitch, its Mcdaniels for not man'ing up and doing a real presser, or flying someone out to see Jay Cutler on the organizations behalf.

Instead of blaming Jay, why dont you throw some hate where it belongs, at the front office. They started it, mishandled it, tried to cover it up, then fell silent.

Right on!

If they really want Cutler and this is all a big misunderstanding they should be doing everything in their power to make him happy! Why wouldn't they?

They are about to lose the guy they claim the really want to QB this team because he feels betrayed. If they didn't betray him they should be doing everything they possibly can to clear this mess up..

They are choosing to take another side, which is proving there are 2 sides here..

If he is so perceptive than way can't he see those open WR instead of forcing the ball into Marshall..

Who's side am I on? Jay may be good, but until he is put in charge. I go for Mc Kid, Xander and Pat..

The three of them have exhibited more maturity than Mc Pantywaist

How have they exhibited more Maturity? They are about to lose the guy they claim they really want.. If they do really want him they will do whatever they can to fix this.. Saying nothing and wanting it to go away isn't going to get the job done..

If this is a misunderstanding they have absolutely no reason to be upset at Cutler, they should simply be saying, That is completely untrue! We would never trade you! If they want Cutler they will clear this up, if they let it go to shit it proves they didn't really want him... And Cutler will have been right all along.

Jay is just like any other player. If they field an offer and say no, they aren't going to immediately call the player and tell them that they fielded an offer for him. They have no requirement to do so, nor should they.

Jay found out about it through a leak from, we're now assuming, the Patriots, and flew off the handle, most likely before even considering calling the front office.

How to handle this better:
Adam Schefter: Hey, Jay, how's it going man? How are you?
Jay: Adam, why you calling me man, it's March. I like the Dawkins signing.
Adam: No, no, although, I do too, but I guess you might have been part of a trade.
Jay: Really. I can't comment yet. Let me call Pat, and I'll call you right back.

He talked to his agent, his agent told him they were getting calls about trading him.. He herd more rumors, his agent tried to call again and they wouldn't talk to him, His agent then told Cutler, they are blocking me out and wont address the situation...

Couple that with everything else he heard/seen that made him think they wanted to trade him and it's easy to understand where he is coming from.

fcspikeit
03-02-2009, 06:00 PM
So do you all think that McD really wanted Cassel? And he did back out (maybe that's not the right term to use) before or after Cassel was signed by the Chiefs?

Yes I think he at least considered trading for Cassel.. Everyone including Shefter is saying Mckid wanted to trade Cutler for Cassel..

Maybe he did decide against it at the last minute? If that is the case he will do what ever is needed to prove that to Cutler so he can have the QB he chose..

If Cutler gets traded, it will be because Mckid didn't do what was needed to fix this situation and that will prove he didn't really want Cutler to begin with.

I agree. No business should ever be held captive by their own employees. As great as Cutler is, his is only a part of the TEAM.. . a team that includes the Front Office and ownership.

I agree with this,

I also feel that beings they are a team they should have included Cutler/his agent that they were thinking of trading him.. Now he believes they are lieing when they say they weren't trying to trade him... Hell everyone who has talked to people inside the league believes they were trying to trade him, who do they think their fooling?

By lying they are making it look like cutler is making a big deal out of nothing.. That isn't right! If they want him on the team they should come clean and go out of their way to patch this up with Cutler.

Great points Mike :salute:

There is clearly disruption now, I'm sure Cutler will get labeled the TO type and blamed for all the division. But if Mckid really did try to trade Cutler, but got blocked by Xman or Pat, now he'e lying and trying to cover it all up. He is causing all the division and should be labeled as the locker room cancer..

The players on this team know whether Mckid wanted to trade Cutler or not.. They will not respect him if they know he is lying and treating cutler this way. How can you be a good coach if your players don't like and respect you? That is apart of the job description.

And there supposed to be the leaders.. It's pretty obvious they don't know how to handle the situation. Good leaders find a way to work with each player, and meet them on some common ground.. If they were good leaders, this would never have happened..

Who will be next? No elite player will except being treated like the team doesn't really need them. Lets face it, the stars get more respect then the scrubs.. If Cutler feels he is being treating like a scrub, I can see why we would want out..

i Wouldnt blame him for wanting to leave now, but i think he is smart enough to realize that there is a lot of great things that can come from patching this up. Jay knows he needs to mature and this is the perfect opportunity for him to show he is willing to. It would be nice to see a contract extension put in place to prove that Jay is the man and will be the face of the franchise. Either way, I think this is something that can be cleared up easily.

I suspect context would do wonders for those situations, JR.

I will agree, though, that it was more than the defense. But anybody expecting the kid to carry the whole team has set the bar a little too high. No RB, no defense, piss poor ST, suspect playcalling. Eh.

There has been a huge disparity between Denver to NE the last couple of years and to compare anything on the two teams is ridiculous. We will see how Cassel does in KC this year.

I have to hand it to RIvers...and he and Jay are actually a lot alike. ( in Maturity that is) or WERE a lot alike.

THis was Rivers maturity level a year or two ago. When he decided to grow up and move on from his immature ways, he played outstanding....pretty much putting the team on his back down the stretch and taking his team to the playoffs.

That is what Jay needs to do. Tools or not, if he doesn't have the mental capacity to lead and spark those around him and get over his little TIFF with RIvers and now the HC of his team, then he is not going to go anywhere...except maybe the Lions...:rofl:

If Denver was actively shopping this trade, why would New England turn down a first round pick for a second pick, AND losing a LB in the deal?

It just doesn't make sense. Why would New England take the worst of the two deals?

Belichick. :tsk:

they needed the cap space. They cleared up something like 18 mill under the cap. And with the second pick they dont have to pay the first round rate that would eat up that cap space. They have alot of defesive players contracts that are going to be FA next year. And i bet that they are going to save that space for them.

That was what it sound like to me. certainly not .. Wow I had not heard I can't comment on it it right now let me call and find out and I'll get back to you..

If is was anything less than that it was inexcusable to whine/comment about it till he had the FACTS.. IMHO

Maybe he does have the facts.

I suspect context would do wonders for those situations, JR.

I will agree, though, that it was more than the defense. But anybody expecting the kid to carry the whole team has set the bar a little too high. No RB, no defense, piss poor ST, suspect playcalling. Eh.

There has been a huge disparity between Denver to NE the last couple of years and to compare anything on the two teams is ridiculous. We will see how Cassel does in KC this year.

As I said there were other reason OTHER than just the defense as Turf alluded to..


I suspect Cassell will not do as well in KC as he would he have done in DEN with his old boss and all the firepower we have versus new system in KC and only a reluctant RB for the running game..

Maybe he does have the facts.

If he will not talk to the ones that were on the phone how can he possibly have the facts..

All Jay has are unsubstantiated rumors from reporters, in a rush to scoop a story, that is what he is going on ..

Why is that hard to understand..

Until he talks to the HC, GM or Pat it is all bovine excrement..
