It's Over: Cutler Going to Chicago

Man we need something new to talk about.

Man, what's with f'ing Mike Florio??? Is he pissed off b/c his rumor didn't become a reality? I swear, we should flood his f'ing website.

Yeah that's pretty lame. He brings up a game that took place 69 years ago? Wow.

I'm sure if we landed Cutler he'd be all over us for once again mortgaging the future for a big name.

It's one thing to be aggressive with personnel moves like the Patriots, but it's another thing to be taking too many risks and risking too much with one player (several times)like the redskins have done. That's not calculated risk-taking, that's gambling. It's almost like Snyder and Cerrato are the ultimate gambling addicts.

Chicago took alot of risk in trading those picks for Cutler, but at least there haven't been several risks that they have taken like this over the last few years like the redskins have done.

Everyone loves to bag our team, and everyone likes to read/hear what those who bag us have to say. Sadly it's just the cool thing to do.

JC is showing class. I think he still is too passive and holds the ball too long, but I respect him a lot right now.

I think someone needs to sit McDaniels down and tell him the following:

- Bill Bellichick has three Superbowl rings and that allows him to do whatever the hell he wants in his team. You can't do whatever the hell you want when you're a rookie coach.

- You're supposed be a genius with QBs, why couldn't you work with Cutler?

- Unlike in Boston, in Denver football is the #1 sport. There are no Red Sox or Celtics to deflect attention. Don't piss off the fans anymore.

I have a few questions?

1. Was our 6-2 start last year a product of Jason Campbell's ability to win games with his arm or our defense shutting opponents down and Clinton Portis running wild?

2. Teams dared Campbell to beat them. When teams decided to take Portis away with 8 and 9 man fronts, how many games did Jason put this team on his back and win?

3. Look at any footage of Campbell and Cutler...tell me who is a better quarterback and who you, as a defensive coordinator, would dread playing against?

4. Do you think teams in our division are happy or sad that we didn't get Cutler?

Now that this Cutler madness is over, let me sya, that Campbell is a man of character and class from the way he has handled this situation. However, unlike many of you on this board, I was hoping like hell that we pulled off this deal. The only thing about the deal that made me uneasy was the amount of picks that we would have given up. However, if you break the bank, you dont break it for a Defensive Tackle, you break it for a QB with unlimited potential, like Cutler. With that said, I hope JC shuts up all of the doubters but we all need to be reminded that he has given doubters reason to doubt his ability to be our franchise QB. I would love to see JC succeed because that means we as fans will have something to cheer for other than free agency signings. But what bothers me about what I am reading on this board is the refusal to acknowledge that Cutler is light years better than Campbell. We couldnt get a second round pick for him if we tried. Im all about optimism and will support the hell out of JC this year, however, I am not blinded by my own optimism that I am a little bummed that we could not get a 25 year old Pro Bowl QB. Cutler is definitely a little girl, but a talented little girl at that. Imagine Cutler with our defense and Portis. Wow. As for now...reality is JC is our starter and we should all support him as Skins fans.

don't know if this has already been posted? but apparently Redskins have a problem....

You may be right, but we don't know who for sure was the one who wanted Cutler.. It may be just our Danny boy, while everybody wants to keep Campbell.. It may be other way, but the only thing we won't know is who tried to pull the trigger.. From what Campbell have said, it appears as if Zorn was on his side..

I am glad this is over. I think we should have this same Campbell vs Cutler thread a year from now and see what's up. I am so looking forward to seeing JC play this year. I think with the various problems the Redskins have had in the past we have yet to see how good JC can be. No one else could do much here since DS became owner and it's not all on the QB. We shall see.
