The ex-Bronco

The disgruntled Jay Cutler has left Denver.

I'll use Cutler's own words

“I’m just not that big of a fan of the guy. I don’t like how he carries himself. I don’t like some of the stuff he does on the field.”


He was referring to San Diego QB Phillip Rivers, but his comments apply as to my opinion of Cutler. I also don't like some of the stuff he does off the field.

Jay Cutler seemed to get a chip on his shoulder when Jeremy Bates (the QB coach) left for USC in January. He was apparently assured by Broncos owner Pat Bowlen that Bates would not be let go. The Matt Cassel trade was just something he used to manifest his immaturity about the matter.

Granted the Broncos haven't done themselves any favors in playing it out in the press either (thank goodness there's only one newspaper left in Denver to hype all the crap over the past month.)

All you have to look at is the phone calls that Jay didn't return, to show you how immature he is (or is he just being used by his own agent?)

McDaniels won't last here very long--I say max 3 years, but I've never been impressed with Cutler--sure he gets the yards, but he makes way too many mistakes still. Remember the San Diego game? No, not the fumble/non-fumble but the interception on the drive before that where he fell down after throwing it.

Then look at the 3 straight games that the Broncos lost at the end, needing only 1 win. Cutler passed for 850 yards but only had 2 TD's and 4 INT's. Maybe he will mature, but right now, he's not anywhere near a franchise QB. That's not to say that he won't turn out to be a good to great QB, it's just that he's not there yet. And until he actually proves it on the field, he needs to quit the Prima Donna Act.

Good luck and good riddance! Maybe the local newspapers--er newspaper can start following the Rockies now!
