CUTLER THINKS HE'S STILL ON THE BLOCK
Posted by Mike Florio: Saturday, February 28, 2009 8:25 PM
Despite an effort by the team to explain that it wasn't and isn't trying to trade him, quarterback Jay Cutler considers himself on the block.

"My understanding at this point is they're trying to trade me," Cutler told Mike Klis of the Denver Post. "We'll see where I end up at. I liked it here, I liked playing with these guys but obviously they're not going to let me have that opportunity."

Past tense. I liked it here.

And there's more.

"I'm upset," Cutler said. "I mean I'm really shocked at this point. I could see why they want [Matt] Cassel. I don't know if they think I can't run the system or I don't have the skills for it. I just don't get it. Or if they don't think they can sign me with my next contract. I just don't know what it is. I've heard I'm still on the trading block."

Coach Josh McDaniels questions the accuracy of Cutler's sources.

"We don't want to trade Jay," McDaniels told Klis. "We never did. He's our quarterback. We're excited about this season. And excited about what we're doing here in free agency to improve our team."

But, really, what else could McDaniels say? If they can't trade Cutler, they need to move forward.

And Cutler seems to be willing to give it a try.

"Anything can be mended," he said. "I'll always play with the guys we've got. I love playing for those guys. Obviously, Josh and I's relationship has taken a few steps backward. I don't play for the coaches anyway, I play for teammates. As long as we keep the guys we've got I'll go out there and play. I love those guys."

And Cutler offered a warning regarding the potential reaction of his teammates to a trade.

"I know they love playing for me and I love playing for them," Cutler said. "There's going to be a lot of problems if they try to trade me. Well, they've already tried to trade me, but if they trade me for sure."

And this is why I will win all your casino cash come draft day

Not good Hamas, just think about what you just stated here if you are in rebuild mode. Giving all your picks up for an 'immature whinny ass' who blames everyone but himself. I don't care if he can throw the ball 200yds in one sling of the ball. If your QB is NOT mentally tough and mature like Cassel you will lose more often than you will win.

If you think Matt Cassel is in the same galaxy as Jay Cutler, you need to up your meds.

We didn't get a hometown discount for Cassel. Period. Belichick had no problems cutting ties with Troy Brown, Lawyer Milloy, Ty Law, or Drew Bledsoe. What makes you think that he's going to take significantly lesser compensation just because he likes Pioli?

The man is a psychopath. His job is his life, and he keeps his job by winning. He's not going to put himself in a disadvantageous position for any reason.

Denver is not trading a younger quarterback with more experience, more physical tools, and who did more with less.

There is no reason to show some kind of asinine loyalty to Matt Cassel because he wears a Chiefs jersey. If someone else offered him more money if he were a FA, he'd go there, and if another team offered better compensation, he'd be there.

People need to stop thinking that this team or its players give a shit about you. They don't. So at least try to approach player evaluation with some logic.

I guess we'll see...apparently Pioli and McDaniels think they are pretty comparable...and I bet both of those guys know a hell of a lot more than even you, Mr. Drafturbator!
