I mentioned in another thread I heard the detroit tv stations talking about this on their 6pm sportscasts, now I have the link to prove it. Its interesting enough that I feel it deserves a thread of its own... so here we go...

Wow, what a move that could have been if the Lion's had pulled it off!

So the chances of Cutler landing in Detroit are?

If they trade Cutler to anyone, I'm going to break my monitor lol. I'm a fan of Denver and Cutler is my favorite Quarterback. To deal him just because he doesn't fit in your offense is stupid. Build your offense around his strengths ala Shanahan and go from there. You have a franchise Quarterback and you want to move him so you can get a guy from New England who had a very good slot option underneath and a Hall of Fame wide receiver. Keep Cutler and you'll be happy. You move him, you'll regret it.

I wonder if the Broncos would have taken that deal. I think Cutler is a bit overrated, but I also feel he is much better than Cassell. I cant believe McDaniels would give up on a chance to coach this kid up.

McDaniels is starting to piss me off.
Now there are reports of not only the Lions, but the Bucs also using Cassel as trade bait for Cutler. AND the PATRIOTS were the ones who said no to the trade, most likely because Cassel-to-KC was already happening.
MATT CASSEL for JAY CUTLER. ARE YOU ****IN' KIDDING ME MCDANIELS.
Now what McDaniels has done is ruined any good relationship he could have had with Cutler. And Bowlen, what the hell man? Doesn't the owner get a say in this? Why the HELL would you be good with trading JAY CUTLER for MATT FREAKIN' CASSEL.
I'm a Bronco fan first. But this is ridiculous. I've gone from being really excited for the McDaniels era to start, to hoping Bowlen fires him tommorow.
Unbelieveable. -
But now......now this is all a disaster.
Not only is Jay pissed off - for a good reason - but we won't even get Cassel now either. We have no QB now.
****. You. McDaniels.FinSane likes this. -
If Josh doesn't believe in Cutler, then you have to move him. I'm not saying that MC is the answer, but Josh does know him and knows him a lot better than he knows Cutler.
As a fan, we watch MC once a week so we really don't know anything about the guy, maybe is is a star in the making, none of us really know.:wink2: -

No doubt this could really hurt things in Denver for the upcoming Training Camps...
Imagine that. Billicheat is right in the middle of it all again. :pity:
Very sorry to Denver, Detroit AND Tampa Bay, cause big Billicheat (He of ENORMOUS man-boobs) just pwned all three of you. He and Pioli are laughing all the way to the bank on this one folks...steveincolorado likes this. -
I'm pretty sure Bowlen would have loved to keep Shanny the coach. But what was he going to do if Shanny refused to let them take away his front office powers?
Right now though, I'd rather have GM Shanny than McDaniels to be honest. -

I mean this almost has Sabotage written all over it..
Of course, Billicheat wouldnt do anything to cross the lines that the league has drawn out......would he...:pity:FinSane likes this. -

I just hope that the Broncos give Josh some time to work with, GM Shanny didn't do that with his D guys.

I saw an interesting comment on ESPN about this. If your the Vikings, do you now just offer your entire draft for Cutler? Maybe some from next year as well? Granted, it wouldnt get the Broncos a QB unless they then target Freeman, or hope Stafford/Sanchez drop (quite possible imo).
Of for that matter, what about trading for a guy Carson Palmer. Again, just firesale your draft and hope someone bites. Really, is there a good reason not to try it? What about the Panthers, should they try this? At least they could offer Delhomme in return as a stopgap for whatever team gives them a star.
