Football Cutler previously ASKED to be traded

REPORT: CUTLER HAD ALREADY ASKED FOR A TRADE
Posted by Mike Florio on March 2, 2009, 9:31 a.m.

Among the many compelling nuggets in Peter King’s MMQB column is a disclosure that Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler had asked to be traded weeks before the team tried to comply with his request.

That’s right. Per King, Cutler requested to be dealt after quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates bolted for USC.

So the fact that Cutler is claiming outrage in the wake of the recent near-miss effort to give him what he wanted could be part of a broader plan to get out of Denver.

This way, he looks like the victim instead of the villain, and perhaps the media and the fans will put enough pressure on the team to force the front office to find a suitor.

I had heard that actually, Cutler was pretty pissed off that Shanahan and Bates were gone then he calmed down and this little thing here recently set him off again.

Who cares what happens in Denver or to Clutter? Screw em.

Maybe Cutler isn't that bad after all - sounds like he hates Denver more than I do.

I think he has to be the biggest baby in all of professional sports.

At least he always gives 100% effort and never fakes an injury because he wants to go to another team.

Unlike Manny Ramirez, who decided he wanted out of Boston and faked an injury to make it happen. Now THAT'S the biggest baby in pro sports!

The guy is a ****ing nut.

I like how people are judging Cutler, yet are more than willing to defend the 2 guys on our roster who are doing the same thing.

And they are far less important than a QB is...

I feel the same way, that's why I made the comment.

Shit, Cutler wants a trade, and McDaniels wants Cassel?

Unless Pioli runs the same kind of "buddy" program that CP ran, he should have already been on the horn to Denver trying to make that swap.

You'd have to have rocks in your head the size of Texas to prefer Cassel over Cutler.

Haley loves Cassel

Quote:

Now for the Kansas City angles. The Chiefs now should have their quarterback of the future, assuming new coach Todd Haley's as good a quarterback tutor as he appeared in Arizona the past couple of years. Haley, who worked with Belichick and Charlie Weis with the Jets a decade ago, told me over the weekend what has him thrilled is that the New England offense and the Kansas City offense have the same verbiage and playcalls. "So we won't have to take the time a new quarterback would normally have to take to get up to speed in a new system,'' Haley said. "He knows this system. And I've watched so much of him from last year. I see a player who's learned under a Hall of Fame quarterback in Tom Brady, and who's so mature for someone with only a year's experience.''

I'm having a hard time understanding all the Cutler love on this board. They are 50-50 team over the last three years and haven't made the playoffs once with him, after making it several years in a row before he started.

His QB rating last year was slightly below Cassell's and his receivers are probably on par at this point with Cassell's receivers.

I'ld personally take Cassell over Cutler in a heart beat, just because Cutler seems a little whack-a-doo off the field. On the field, they are very similar, and this is even with Cassell's first year of starting.

Cassel doesn't have the physical abilities Cutler has, now Cassel might be a smarter QB in certain respects, but Cutler is the better overall package.
