Am i the only one that finds it really really REALLY suspicious that all these rumors (pertaining to the skins and Cutler) are heating up on April Fools day? Im not dismissing the notion that Cutler is on the trading block, but so far, no reputable sources are legitimately saying the skins are interested in a manner that cant be passed off later as just an april fools joke.
That said, I'm not a fan of Campbell and a couple weeks ago I was adamant in my desire to acquire Cutler at all costs.... but that all ended for me the second it was reported that Cutler - a diabetic - has an alcohol problem. Not to be insensitive, but I dont want to trade anything for a guy who is likely to be unable to play football - if not dead - in a couple years. I still dont like Campbell as our QB of the future, but the risk in acquiring Cutler is just too high now. The potential rewards for such a move have greatly diminished. If he were a free agent, the story would be different, but I wouldnt give up what is likely going to be required to acquire Cutler. He's simply not worth the risk.
I guess I missed the reports that Cutler has a drinking problem.
