Jay Cutler

This whole Jay Cutler saga has turned into a classic 90's soap opera that keeps viewers tuned in every week. It's like Beverly Hills 90210 but out goes Tory Spelling and Shannen Doherty and in comes Jay Cutler and Josh McDaniels. The blame of this goes back and forth every day with the whole "He Said - She Said" elementary game. First the blame was aimed toward McDaniels for trying to trade our future, then it was to Cutler for not growing up and showing up to meet with McD, then it was back to Josh for not working it out with Cutler when he actually did come in, then it was redirected to Cutler for putting his house on sale, etc. etc. etc. HBO needs to land a deal with the two and make a show called Dove Valley 80110. "Lies, deception, botrayal. Will this be the final episode? All new this week on Dove Valley 80110." Alright, I'm going too far. Sorry.

Anyways, let's disect these past weeks events:

March 1 - Josh McDaniels entertains trade talks with his former team the Patriots in order to work a deal out that would send Jay Cutler to Tampa Bay for Matt Cassel and a draft pick. - Now, this is the first big mistake. McDaniels opened up Pandora's box by letting trade talks get to far and not only that but he originally denied it and then later admitted it. Cutler finds out and refused to make any contact with the McDaniels or Pat Bowlen. Cutler skipped a scheduled meeting and said he felt betrayed by the organization. Now he's more pissed then Geraldo Rivera when he opened Al Capone's vault.

March 2 - McDaniels says that he had no intentions on trading Cutler and that he was merely listening to offers. Because as a coach, that's what you do. NO player in the league is untouchable. NO ONE. If McDaniels got offered Tom Brady and two 1st round picks for Cutler then you would obviously take it. Cutler needs to understand that EVERY quarterback in the league gets trade offers. Even Peyton Manning, even Tom Brady, even Drew Brees, and even you Cutler. This is just the name of the game. Take some notes from Donovan McNabb. McNabb is contently is trade talks and he even got benched from the team this year. Did he bitch and whine like a girl?? NO. He went out to practice the next week and won his job back.

March 3 - Trade rumors start to swirl like the Boulder Chinook winds. Cutler to Detroit, to Tampa, to Cleveland, to San Francisco, to Minnesota, blah, blah blah. None of which are worth the trade and McDaniels keeps saying that he will not trade Cutler.

March 14 - Cutler officially puts his 7500 square foot home up for sale. Apparently Jay's parents (who lived down the street) also put their home up for sale. I guess Mommy and Daddy were upset too. Boo hoo. That whole family is a bunch of whiny wimps. The Cutlers are the family that loses the family softball game to the cooler family at the neighborhood picnic (and then moves out of the neighborhood). BUT! Apparently this house was not Cutler's primary residence and he has been trying to sell it for months....

March 15 - Cutler finally meets with McDaniels but nothing is resolved. In fact, everything just gets worst and now Cutler has demanded a trade.

Now originally I put a big portion of the blame on Cutler for being a whiny baby (which is still partly true) but now I have transferred the a large burden of the blame to McDaniels. Why does he hate about Cutler? Josh, aren't you supposed to be a QB guru that makes untalented quarterbacks into good ones? Well, what can you do with a QB that actually does have talent??? Because last time you worked with a QB that had real talent (Tom Brady) you orchestrated the best offense in NFL history and Brady broke all the single season records. Hum..... Now why would you trade a talent like Cutler for a less talented QB in Cassel? I guess I just don't see you logic Joshy.

Cutler now seems like the good guy, though. "I went in there with every intention of solving the issue, being a Bronco, moving forward as a Bronco." Cutler said. " I figured we’d hash things out, shake hands, laugh a little and move forward. What happened [Saturday] was the last thing I expected. If I didn’t think it could be fixed, I never would have come back to Denver." See, now I'ma back on Cutlers side. How would you feel if you went to work and your boss said "Hey, so were looking at other people to replace you but don't worry, you can still keep your job for the time being. We just don't feel that your a long term solution." Yeah I would be be pissed too.

Now St. Patty's day is tomorrow and I'm really sick of hearing about all this drama. I don't want to here McDaniels name for at least 24 hours. The only Irish name I want to associate myself with tomorrow is Guinness and Baileys. Maybe the luck of the Irish will flow McDaniels way and Cutler will come to camp and ready to play because McDaniels can't afford to lose Cutler. McDaniels needs Cutler because he can’t afford to start from scratch with a new QB and not make the playoffs in the next couple of seasons. If McDaniels trades away the future franchise QB and also doesn’t make the playoffs with another QB then he will get canned too. Then he will be looked at as another product of Bilichick’s system and it will be hard for him to get another coaching job.

This could end ugly ladies and gentlemen. Shit's about to hit the fan and I told you this would make for some good television. Get your popcorn ready.
