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 [Indianapolis] 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. 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.

that's a bad article. cutler is being such a baby, listen to this riduculous pouty crybaby thing he said,
"I'm upset," he told The Denver Post. "I mean, I'm really shocked at this point."

holy ******* shit! no way that baby hasn't filled his diaper yet... :guy'sanidiot:

he also misunderstands the quote about a trade causing problems... cutler is great friends with many of the offensive weapons, it definitely WOULD cause problems to trade cutler.

he compares cutler's crybaby shock to the reaction of derrick brooks, a 14 year vet who had to have seen his release coming like he is comparing apples to apples. ******* hack.

cutler's reaction is legit. did he have to do it to media? no, but they called before coach did. did he really cancel a meeting? bus cook said there never was a meeting. the people calling jay a crybaby for canceling the meeting are speculating just as much as the people who think McD was shopping jay.

any one-sided argument in this situation is stupid, but the ability to fix the situation is in McXanderPat's hands.

I hope Cutler's next move isn't to get the bone-headed idea of not reporting to camp/holding out or something stupid like that.

If it's true that he won't even accept McDaniels phone-calls then we are all in deep shit.

And yes, not accepting phone calls from the HC calls for the "big baby throwing tantrums" treatment.

I don't care if he likes the Broncos or not. He is spot on with this article IMO. I understood that Jay was angry at first, but not talking to the Broncos' brass when they try to bring you in to talk things out definitely qualifies as acting like a baby.

Yeah, I know they hurt your feeling Jay, but at least go in and tell them that and that you don't appreciate being lied to...or whatever his story is. Right now he is basically saying "you guys hurt my feelings and I don't want to talk to you anymore".

The same thing happened in Boston when the Red Sox wanted to trade Mike Lowell to fee up 3b to get Mark Texiera. Lowell took it in stride, said he was not happy but at least talked to management about it.

That is the difference between a seasoned veteran and a young player with unlimited potential but has not made good on it yet.

Yes baseball is not football but it is the same type of situation.

Jay time to grow up. come one more "flames" :target: for me

cutler was a part of why Shanny got fired as well and for those who did not see that must be watching a different game than I was against Car, Buffalo and SD. The defense sucked as well but the offense could have scored more vs Buffalo. 23 pts was not enough in a must win game

Why idiots?

Its not who has a better arm
its about who is a better QB and so far from what we have seen one has a career 11-5 record and the other is 17-20

Also Cassel looked pathetic in last seasons preseason and was able to do quite well for himself while Cutler helped choke away a 3 game lead
by playing 3 pathetic games down the stretch highlighed by the loss vs a bad buffalo team at home. Yes the defense sucked but if our "great" offense was so great, then they score the pts needed vs a Buffalo team that they moved it for 450 plus yards

raw talent Cutler is better
brains Cassel is better

which would you rather have leading you, brains or Brawn?

I am ready to be thrown off the bridge as well now for this post :lol:

thowing the ball into coverage? reading a defense
Cutler latches on to Marshall a lot and throws lots of picks doing so.

some is yes the defense sucked and if the team is better he should be better.

I am just basing this on what my eyes tell me.

Sorry I am not a Koolaid Cutler drinker. He needs to worry more about getting better than about his feelings or relationship with Rivers and not letting stuff die when it should.

I support him as a bronco but if we wants out and becomes a malcontent, I would do what is needed to move on.

So, if Cassel is a "system QB", is Cutler, considering he played in the same system that made Brian Griese and jake PLummer Pro Bowlers?

32 teams in the NFl would LOVE to have a system QB. Their system.

Considering we are now running MCDaniels system, maybe Cassel would be the better QB.

And yes, this is an "act" by Cutler that is troublesome. If you just look at each individual time Cutler has said something controversial to the press, none of them look that bad on their own, but when you look at his whole body of work in talking to the media, then yes, it is an "act" that is starting to wear thin.

I don't see how you don't see that he can't just keep undermining the team in public when they do something that he disagrees with.

Ryan Leaf also had better physical tools than Peyton Manning but he had a brain the size of a pea. Now I'm not putting Cutler in the same level of stupidity of Ryan Leaf but if he doesn't start maturing soon then he won't get that much better any time soon. Cassel is currently lightyears ahead of Cutler in the maturity department as far as I'm concerned.

Maturity can be taught and learned with time.

Personally I'm not willing to give up one of the most exciting QB's in the NFL for a guy who is more mature than Cutler.

Cutler has the bigger arm, the better mobility, the better overall skillset....that stuff can not be taught.

Cutler will learn......hopefully it's sooner rather than later :salute:

Cutler had more than enough of a run game to take pressure off him. Perhaps if he wasn't trying to force the ball into Brandon Marshall early and often, we would have beat teams like KC and Miami, and not even having this debate.

Cutler had more than enough of a run game to take pressure off him. Perhaps if he wasn't trying to force the ball into Brandon Marshall early and often, we would have beat teams like KC and Miami, and not even having this debate.

When the play caller defers from running the ball when its effective (vs. Oakland is a perfect example) then Jay Cutler is forced to throw the ball 40-50 times per game...and if you throw that many times, there's bound to be Interceptions.

His defense never helped him out...he's had to play from behind or without a significant lead most of his career...

Jay Cutler is not the man to blame for our 7-9 and 8-8 season. Yes he carries a little burden........but most of it falls on the defense.

You will see....Matt Cassel is going to fail in Kansas City because he doesnt have a consistant running game or middle-of-the-pack defense like he had in New England.

A consistant running game and a good defense makes a Quarterback look that much better.

With all due respect Tops, anyone that's been involved in sports for any length of time knows that you don't behave by lashing out through the media.

That's a great start to getting everybody pi$$ed off at you. I'm sure his defense didn't appreciate the cheap shot he took at them after the SD game, Even though he was right, you never approach the situation like that.

Fail.

Against KC, when the offense was in prime position by turning the ball over and going 3 and out, the defense gave up 3 points in the first half. The other 10 points? A FG after Denver gave up the ball at KC's 48, and a TD after Denver gave up the ball at the 2.

Denver's offense was responsible for more points than KC's defense through the first 3 quarters.

You obviously didn't watch that game.

Against Miami, Denver was down 16-6 at halftime. 6 points came from Denver TO's at midfield, and another 7 came from Cutler throwing an int returned for TD(Doh!! Somebody tell Cutler you wanna throw TD's for your team, Not the other team!!). Denver's only TD came from a 79 yard punt return to Miami's 13.

You like people telling it like it is even if it's at the expense of a teammate or an employer?

Maybe McDaniels should have told it like it is, and said "hey, I just want someone who isn't going to keep turning the ball over..."

Yes I watched the game. Why are you ignoring the fact that Larry Johnson rushed for 198 yards? Or that Dewayne Bowe had 85 yards receiving?

Now vs. Miami.....Cutler carries a lot of the burden with his 3 Interceptions...but where was our running game? Our leading rusher was Andre Hall with 7 yards rushing...I repeat......7 YARDS RUSHING!! On the defensive side, they let Greg Camarillo have 111 receiving yards and Ronnie Brown had 60 yards rushing.

But.........

How about when the Broncos do the calling and initiating?

Even if they did they didn't find anything out there that made the deal happen.

GMs are on the phone, every day of the year, 24-7, 365, fielding trade calls, or proposing them, and players just shouldn't get their panties in a bunch over it. Period.

I can tell you one thing. I'm not alone in thinking that we'll be pissed off if McBozo did really initiate calls to replace Cutler with Cassell.

And we may not.

The bottom line is, whether he likes it or not, Jay Cutler needs to learn who's his boss.

If he gets some random phone call from a reporter, he needs to "no comment," call the organization, fly to Denver, whatever the hell he needs to do, and find out the story behind closed doors.

And you know what, if that means they were open to trade talks, he needs to man up and deal with it.

Simple logic. McDaniels led the kid last year and he's taking over a team with a stud quarterback, let's contact him and see if we could finagle a deal where we get Cutler...

If this was somehow out of the blue, then I might understand, but this is McDaniels and what is perceived to be "his guy."

The problem here seems to be one of communication. McD doesn't seem willing to call and Jay's cell doesn't ever seem to be working. Something's gotta give and, it should be Cutler.

McD. is, after all, the HC. Jay is secretred away in someplace far, far, from Denver and should really be right here while this BS plays out.

Like I said before. I'm sure he knows a hell of a lot more about this than we and the reporters do.
I mean, he does work there. He does have more insight. I'm pretty sure if he felt they were just fielding calls and not initiating them he would feel different about this.
I'm giving Jay the benefit of the doubt before giving it to someone we barley know anything about.
Especially when your talking about a QB that was McBozo's man in NE. It's kind of being blind folded to not think this could not be happening.

I have no Doubt they received calls about the trade and frankly if I were him I'd have tired to make it.. Having a quality QB that knows the system along with a great OLINE and receiving set and IMO a great RB in Hillis and whoever else they bring on board this Offense could rock..

With Jay it is a, maybe IF he wants to do it.. What he has not figured out yet he is learning a new offense ONE Way or the other..

Hell I would not even care IF Mc Kid called a few other teams.. which I doubt since unless he could get Cassell who is custom made for his O why bother making the change.... Unless it was Mc Babies attitude that was picked up by the FO and at that point they indeed were, how did Jay put it "seemed funny to him about something"..

Look, just like not knowing who made the calls on draftees or who was totally in charge or what was or was not said to Jay/Jake in their sagas..

We may NEVER know the real truth.

Not that it, matters cause 50% of the members here hate Mc Kid because he took mikeys spot.. and he is changing the way they are used to a coach should be.. it will take 4 consecutive Superbowl wins to change some folks over.. and some will never like him..

You act like cutler carried us to something great an 8-8 record is not great. Other qb's have had to deal with shitty defenses cutler is not the first one. What has cutler done to be trated like a god? Throw for 4500 yards, big deal he is throwing the ball 40-50 times a game he better have some yards to show for it. I will start treating cutler like a god when he can actually hit a reciever in stride and not over throw them when they are wide open 30 yards down the field. As of now he is a unproven whiny bitch with potential.

The Buffalo game still pisses me off. The pick at the one yard line and not getting a TD when 1st and 10 from inside the 15

but the turnovers are okay with some here.

Excuses and more excuses for Cutler

I am so sick of hearing about his pro bowl season when
Rivers and Cassell clearly outplayed him. He sucked down the stretch

Too many excuses for him really.

Its time for him to man up and lead this team or
play elswhere.

We don't know that they did.

Again...if we "tried to trade him" that would mean the Belichick nixed a deal for a first round and accepted a deal for a second rounder.

Stop. Think. Ask yourself whether that's plausible.

Then get back to me.

Acctually it is because Bowlen or Xanders could have put their foot down. You do know there are more then 1 person in the FO that can make trades right?

I have a hard time believing McDaniels put together a trade package for the messiah quarterback on his own before discussing it with the owner and the GM.

Kaylore
03-03-2009, 10:09 AM
The front office and McDaniels made a rookie error on this one. They had to know there would be some fallout for discussing this, but they miscalculated severely and they have a small controversy on their hands.

Jay has a right to be upset, but he has no right to go to the media and throw tantrums. He asked for a trade when they fired Bates. He has no right to do that. He's under contract and the team owns his rights through the end of that. They have every right to discuss trading him. What's funny is if this was baseball it would be no big deal because those guys are traded like Pokemon characters and it's part of the business.

I think Jay and a lot of the team were coddled under Shanahan and under McDaniels there will be no one who is more special than anyone else on the team. That's the way it should be. If Jay doesn't want to buy into the concept that he isn't bigger than the team then we should trade him.

I've noticed the last couple of days that most fans negativity is now mostly directed towards Jay. Maybe he's noticed too and will quit this dumbass pouting and try to air things out with McD.

That said, I'd like to see how well someone with Cutler's physical gifts would do in a NE type offense. Brady is limited physically. Look what he accomplished.

Both sides are to blame in this. The problem is the team has reached out and he continues to say he won't be talking to them anytime soon. So it looks like one is trying to be mature and work it out and the other is being a baby.

So, yeah. It will be his fault.

Shut your mouth. Play by the rules, or hit the road.

What did he say that was detrimental to the team? They asked for his response and he gave it to them, it's that simple, how his response turned into to him being such a crybaby is confusing to me.......Cutler's only mistake was not saying "No comment".

The second Schefter went on NFLN and reported this, McDoogie/Xanahan/Somebody should have been on the phone with Cutler, if for no other reason that to prepare him for these questions.......but not only was there no phone call but they refused to return calls from the Cutler camp.
