Per Vinny Cerrato, JC is our QB this season!

These rumors are getting stupid from all these "sources"! I would have to think there is zero merit to Cutler coming to DC.

CERRATO: “JASON CAMPBELL IS GOING TO BE OUR QUARTERBACK”

Posted by Mike Florio on March 17, 2009, 9:07 p.m.
The rumors of the Washington Redskins possibly trading for Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler, fueled by a bleacherreport.com story setting forth a far-fetched three-team trade scenario that might or might not have been labeled ambiguously as “satire” before the predicted 5:00 p.m. EDT announcement of the deal, have already created a sufficient stir to require the Redskins to address them.
In an item posted at 6:41 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, executive V.P. of football operations Vinny Cerrato told David Elfin of the Washington Times that the Redskins “haven’t talked to anyone” about Cutler, and that “Jason is going to be our quarterback this season.”
We don’t want to pick nits here, but Cerrato didn’t say that the Redskins aren’t interested in Cutler, only that they “haven’t talked to anyone” about him. And when Cerrato says that “Jason is going to be our quarterback,” Cerrato omits the key words “starting” or “backup.”
We’re kidding. Sort of.
Here’s the deal — the Cutler fiasco has confirmed that teams need to handle their starting quarterbacks like a college football coach handles his current job. Neither can afford to allow word to get out that a change might be coming. If change is going to happen, it needs to come swiftly and without advance rumor or speculation.
It’s the “I’m not going to be the Alabama coach” phenomenon; the Redskins would end up with the next disgruntled starting quarterback if credible word were to get out that the Redskins are thinking about making a change at the most important position on the roster.

Just watched the NFL Network and they all unanimously agree that if the phone rings to trade JC they answer it.

Per your thread subject, I wasn't sure whether you were talking about Jason Campbell or Jay Cutler ;-)

[Ruhskins]

Glad to hear this from VC. Besides, I don't want that crybaby Cutler here anyway.

Unfortunately Vinny saying this doesn't mean a damn thing. Vinny said we weren't interested in Haynesworth, too. GM's lie all the time. It's part of their job.

Campbell hasn't been give much credit in my opinion. I still think he'll be a Pro Bowler. Let's see what happens after this year now that he'll have a second year to get comfortable in Zorn's system.
I don't want Cutler either. We'd probably overpay anyway like we did for CP. I thought Champ for CP was more than fair. Why'd we have to throw in a 2nd round pick?

I think as of now we still got the better part of that trade with Denver.

Campbell is on such a short leash though

Sure I guess they do stretch the truth but that's a case by case situation!

But I disagree. I think Vinny is telling the truth and we will stick with JC.

Are far as AH that was a smart move on Vinny's behalf, what do you expect him to show his hand and let all the league know we where gonna make a run at the guy, of course not. It was darn near common knowledge to begin with.

Do you think JC will be traded for Cutler if the option presents itself?

Well what are you gonna, make it public that your trying to trade your starting QB. I mean what kind of stupid GM would let that hit the press.(cough..cough... Denver)

[Ruhskins]

I think it'd be ridiculous if Cutler is brought here. I think it'd be a heck of a gamble on VCs part. Basically if Cutler doesn't work out, VC would be gone. I just don't think any QB could come in and integrate himself into Zorn system's right away. This might be crazy but if we were to get Cutler and Denver's 2nd rounder for JC and next year's 2nd rounder or something like that this may work, although I don't know how much this would make sense.

How is this any different? If it was public knowledge that Skins were actively going after Cutler, it could a) create a bidding war with other teams who are interested and drive the price higher, and b) create dissension in our locker room.

I agree with all points.. We don't have the money to pay Cutler, or VC would be chomping at the bit to get him.. Cutler may appear to be a crybaby now but he would be open with open arms if we could bring him in..

If we traded Campbell to the Broncos, it wouldn't be a straight up trade.
