This would be a very risky move. Cutler is not a sure thing. Cutler and the Broncos went 8-8 last year just like we did and they play in the shitty AFC West. Four very win-able game against the Raiders and Chiefs, it is not a surprise Cutler threw for a ton of yards, those defense suck.....and they still went 8-8? How is this guy an improvement
I think it really comes down to what we would have to give up to get him. The #13 pick in this draft? HELL NO! We don't have a 2nd rounder this year and the Broncos will want something right away. Our 1st rounder next year? NO!
From reading the articles in all the reliable papers today it appears Daniel Snyder has the fever for Cutler. When Snyder gets that fever he sometime does regrettable things.
It is like when I get the fever to buy a great car or house. Sometimes you have to step away from the negotiating table and come to your senses before pulling the trigger on a big deal.
I hear you man and this really could sink the Skins for years if he is wrong about Cutler!

Absolutely.

I agree the pro bowl is garbage...I just think he's shown a lot of promise at a young age. You can't play with the stats all you want to make Campbell look just as promising but when you watch the games you see that he's just not. If Cutler were not available I would want to see what Campbell could do this year but Cutler being available changes that in my mind.

I'm glad the Jets are now considered to be "aggressively" pursuing this baby too. Hopefully they can beat us out for him. Tampa Bay could get him too, as they almost did in the original trade that started this drama.
Jets "prepared to enter a bidding war". :)
Jets show they are Mile High about Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/2009/04/01/2009-04-01_jets_show_they_are_mile_high_about_bronc.html)
J - E - T - S J - E - T - S JETS JETS JETS !!!!!!!!!!
God let's hope they save us from ourselves. The asking price is WAAAAYYYYY to high for what isn't a major upgrade at QB. Cutler isn't Peyton Manning or Tom Brady.
The Jets make sense for Cutler, the Skins don't.

Now that Denver apparently just want picks (http://www2.tbo.com/content/2009/apr/02/report-broncos-want-least-2-1st-round-picks-cutler/), and not necessarily another starting QB, puts other teams like the Jets, Browns, or Bucs ahead of the game I think. If McDaniels doesn't want another QB, why doesn't he get Peppers and a 2nd rounder from Carolina for Cutler? After the dismal performance by Delhomme, Carolina should want to replace him.

The alcohol thing is a sports tabloid-generated thing and he's kept his diabetes under control....they're non-issues.
However, his crybaby attitude and selfishness are major obstacles to overcome and I do not want a whiny non-team player like him on the Redskins.
If he was a "franchise" QB, the Broncos would not have been tempted to trade him for a QB who had one partial season with a Super Bowl team who failed to even make the playoffs under his leadership and who had not previously started a game since HIGH SCHOOL.
that had nothing to do with a new coach who groomed a guy that came in and had a convincing showing or anything

I think this is exactly the reason why the team needs to give Campbell another year. Gibbs should've thrown Campbell to the fire right away, instead he went with old a$$ Brunell up until the time Brunell was non-functional. Had Gibbs gone with Campbell right away, we would be pass his development time and either would have sent JC packing if things had not worked out or if things would have worked out, he'd be a establish QB.
agreed.. we let a 1st round qb sit for far too long and we would've known his value by now

The Jets make sense for Cutler, the Skins don't.
Also true: Cutler makes sense for the Jets, and doesn't make sense for the Skins.
Seriously, are they hoping Kellen Clemens or Brad Ratliff can make them winners?
The Lions and the Eagles are the two teams with multiple 1st-round picks. They can release or trade McNabb if they give the Broncos a pick.
I wouldn't be crazy about Philly getting him, but if it prevents us from making this boneheaded deal, I'm all for it.
