Thread: Cutler-McDaniels Poll

Denver Post Poll - Cutler-McDaniels

Settle it once and for all, Broncos Nation. Which side of the QB-coach spat do you fall on? Are you with Jay Cutler or Josh McDaniels?
Total Votes = 338

Jay Cutler: The star. He'll lead the Broncos back to glory. No coach can do that. 75.44 %

Josh McDaniels: The boss. What he says, goes. Anything else is anarchy. 24.55 %


This was as of midnight.

It says it all.

In his career, in regular-season games in which the opposing team scored 30 points or more, his record is 6-22.
His name? Peyton Manning.
Not even Manning, a three-time MVP, could save the Colts when his defense was atrocious.

In his career, in regular-season games in which the opposing teams scored 30 points or more, his record was 6-31.
John Elway.

Not even Elway, who finished as the greatest comeback quarterback in NFL history, could save the Broncos when his defense was awful. In two separate seasons, the Broncos allowed 30 points or more five times when Elway played. They lost all 10 games.

Trade Jay? No way.

Give him a defense, and Jay Cutler will be one of the premier quarterbacks for a long time in the NFL. Any coach, columnist, commentator or football cynic who suggests otherwise doesn't get it.

In his career, in regular-season games in which opposing teams have scored 30 points or more, Cutler's record, when playing two full quarters or more, is 3-12.

In the past two seasons, no quarterback could have saved the Broncos with the defense they put on the field. Not Manning, not Elway, not Cutler.
When he has played more than a half, and the Broncos have permitted fewer than 30 points, Cutler's record is 14-7.
Attacked by a bunch of clowns, Cutler has gone for the juggler.

I don't blame him.

Nobody contemplated trading Manning, Elway, Tom Brady, Troy Aikman or Joe Montana early in their careers, and look what happened to them. The Atlanta Falcons traded Brett Favre after his first year, and look what happened. The Tampa Bay Bucs traded Steve Young after his second NFL season, and look what happened.

Don't let it happen. Trade Jay, and the deal will bite the Broncos in the business end for years to come.

Elway didn't win a playoff game until his fourth season, Manning his sixth. Cutler will be in his fourth season in 2009. Just imagine if the Broncos had an average defense, not the worst in the league, last season and a healthy, 1,500-yard-type starting running back, instead of eight different (and indifferent) running backs.

The Broncos would have been in the playoffs, and Cutler would have been heralded as an emerging star.

As it is, he still made the Pro Bowl and, despite the Broncos' failures, must be considered one of the top 10 quarterbacks in the league.

Who would you rather have? The two Mannings, Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Philip Rivers, Drew Brees, Matt Ryan, Kurt Warner and Donovan McNabb? Maybe most on that list, but not all.

Matt Cassel?

The Patriots won 11 games, but they didn't make the playoffs, either. The Patriots beat two playoff teams: Miami (a split) and Arizona, (which didn't show up in the next- to-last game). The Broncos beat two playoff teams: San Diego (a split), and Atlanta on the road.

Cassel had a better quarterback rating (89.4-86.0), fewer interceptions (11-18), a higher completion percentage (.634-.623) and more rushing yards (270-200), but Cutler had more completions (384-327), more passing yards (4,526-3,693), a higher yards-per-attempt average (7.3-7.2) and more touchdown passes (25-21).

Cutler is a year younger.

Cassel was not a trade (up) for the Broncos. No quarterback available among the free-agent rejects, backups and aging veterans is worthy of signing.

Nobody available among the starting quarterbacks is worthy of a trade. Nobody available among the college quarterbacks who will be on the board at No. 12 in April is worthy of drafting, and Matthew Stafford and Mark Sanchez are not worthy of trading up to get, because of the risk and the salary cap obligations.

And Chris Simms, who is available as the Broncos' new QB, is not worthy of starting.

Cutler is the quarterback of the past three seasons, and should be the quarterback of the future 10 seasons.

If Josh McDaniels improves the rest of the team, Cutler is not the problem. He is the solution. Jay's the way.

Nice posts!

And I couldn't agree more.

I think both sides have some issues but I hope things get worked out and Cutler stays. I think McKid has a lot of things to learn at this point and it's clear he isn't ready for a head coach spot but I hope somehow the coaches and players rise up and move this team forward. It's hard to have faith in McKid at this point.

I love Cutler to bits but in my opinion he is acting like a five year old.

With all that has gone on in the past weeks, I can't help but think Cutler has been angling for a trade all along.

Grow up Jay and get on with your job.

He hasnt done or said anything wrong. All the Baby talk is nonesense. McDaniels is acting like a frightened woman by not squashing this better.

Jay all the way.

Gay for Jay.

Queer for Cutler.

Dicks for six.

I think most of us wanted a defensive guy to come in and fix the defense. What we got was a inexperienced offensive coordinator. Three years under Bellichick in not what I deem experienced. Thats it--thats all McD has, and the fact that he wants to be a Bellichick clone doesn't impress me, I don't even like Bellichick and I don't like McD either. Jay isn't perfect but I''m sticking with Jay.

Fiery attitudes are welcome from Jay and the McLovins. Just hug and send the fire in the same direction........on the opposition.

I'm not liking McDaniels too much at this point. He lacks experience

BOTH of them have hurt our team - NEITHER is a Broncos veteran - if I were Bowlen I'd be telling BOTH of them to fix this NOW or they are BOTH gone

In the end there is only ONE thing that matters - WINNING - and two of the most important people in the equation are f'ng this whole thing up

We are supposed to be taking steps forward to building a playoff bound/SB TEAM - we are not here to make someone a franchise QB or a phenom HC
