Which QB Fits Best?

And yet the rationale a lot of people have here for Cutler is his experience in Mike's offense. Do you assume then that if Cutler were here Kyle wouldn't be the OC?

this is a good point... I think the distinction is between the fundamentals of the offense and the actual game day play calling. KS clearly is a pass first OC, but when they do run, it's stretch and zone blocking. In the pass there is an emphasis on getting the ball down the field and moving the pocket. Those are both characteristics of MS' offense. You could probably say they're looking for the same archetype at QB, with KS not placing quite as high of a premium on mobility.

Given that the QBs of choice would be playing behind this OL, the best choice is probably Usain Bolt - - but since he is not on the list, my pick would be Cutler.

Tough decision between Bradford and Cutler...I'll take Cutler. Rocket arm(for real) and can throw it long or short. Comfortable in and out of the pocket. His mobility helps his OL. Also knows how to sell that play action since Mike coached him. Maybe just a tad overaggressive, but who knows, maybe he's matured a bit.

Does Cutler fit best or is he just the one on the list currently having the best season? A year ago at this time, I think Bradford would be leading the polls on this question.
And here's why I wouldn't go with Cutler: he has had trouble handling adversity. And there's a LOT of adversity to handle here in Washington. Sure, Shanahan liked Cutler and drafted him, and perhaps as a player he would fit better than Bradford, but DC is not a city to play in for players with fragile psyches.

Bradford for sure, as he is the only one that shows real promise, just build a team around him ala Peyton Manning and the Rams will be very good. I do like Cutler, but to me he is sort of like Grossman in he can be inconsistent at times. He is head and shoulders above Rex, but still can have crappy games once or twice a month during football season.

I think Bradford is the best overall QB of the group. But I think Locker would have been very intriguing with his ability to run

locker and cutler are the best fits for our system.

None of these QB's fits us because we wont be getting any of them. Lets draft our very on Rookie QB and build the offense around him for once.

RGIII,RGIII...................He would be the QB I would target ..we dont have a good o line...well with RGIII it doesnt matter..he can scramble around..till we get a better o line..HE WILL BE A GREAT NFL QB!

Cutler has run this offense successfully. And don't cite his mediocre record as a starter in Denver - that was a function of Shanahan's weak defense during that period.

Jay Cutler. He already knows the offense having been drafted by Mike Shanahan and playing in his system in Denver. He would be best suited to run a Mike Shanahan style offense.

This isn't really Mike's system though, it's Kyle's. While I imagine there are similarities, it's not the same offense.

Personally, I would have liked us to have gotten Jake Locker.
