This argument reminds me of the book Roar of Silence, which explains if Kenny Walker was not deaf, he could have been a great linebacker. Someone, I can't remember who, said a new defensive assistant coach named Ernie was responsible for Walker being the last player cut after his third training camp. I hope if Jay Cutler writes a book about his battle against Type 1 diabetes, the story will not end like Walker's did.

I hope some of the players are put on edge. Fear can be a powerful motivator. None of us were happy with Shanahan's teams the last several years, and by all indicators, the Mastermind had lost the power to motivate his players.

Originally posted by Illyion View PostCripes, half you people are acting as though there were no other mitigating circumstances and that the Bucs and the Lions both called up expecting to get Cutler. If there HAD been no other circumstances involved, then I could understand your skepticism when the organization said there were no "feelers" sent out regarding a Cutler trade, because you're right, under most circumstances a team will not just call up another and try to get their franchise passer, however there WERE other circumstances.
In this case, those circumstances were that these teams knew McDaniels liked Cassel, and that Cassel would fit in McDaniels system, and so they thought with all that in mind that maybe they COULD leverage the Broncos into a three way trade, and that obviously did not happen because Jay is still here. The Cassel factor is a HUGE mitigating factor here.
Bucs/Lions call randomly about getting Jay Cutler, organization says there was no shopping/feelers - Not so credible
Two quarterback starved teams (Bucs/Lions) know new Broncos HC has ties to another FA QB (Cassel), and think they can use said HC's fondness for said QB to pry out a three way deal, they would attempt this even with no feelers from Denver because it's a reasonable situation - Pretty damned credible in my opinion.
Also, I love how you all have NO PROOF that anyone in the organization lied, but you're absolutely 100% correct in this situation, meanwhile we have the word of the organization, and nobody had come out saying that Denver put out feelers, but we're the idiots who have no idea what we're talking about.
You people seriously need to get a grip.
Originally posted by Gr3yStreetBut if we put out "feelers" for a QB of Jay's calibur wouldn't there be more than 2 teams?
I would think if the Broncos really legit put of "feelers" there would of been a FLOOD of interest. Tampa, Detroit, San Fransisco, New York Jets, Miami, Houston, Oakland, KC, Minnesota, Cleveland... were was the interest from these teams?
Do you think its likely that we put out "feelers" stating we were willing to trade Cutler and ONLY two teams showed interest?
I haven't seen ANY other teams with "sources" saying they saw the Cutler rumors and were interested. Why wouldn't they be interested?
How many teams got thrown into the rumor AFTER all this news broke?
Originally posted by Al Wilson 4 MayorYour post here reminded me of BeliCheat insisting that he had no idea video taping other teams signals and walk throughs was against league rules. Then he issued a statement that he wasn't going to discuss it any further.
Does that sound familiar?????
Now, I know I'm susceptible to it too, everybody is. But at least I know I am.The Denver Broncos, aka THE NFL'S NEXT DYNASTY

Originally posted by BurgessRudy View PostIf what the Immature new coach of the Broncos said is true then there is no story. But, there is a story. Some person or organization leaked that Jay Cutler was considered in a trade. The Broncos couldn't have leak that, because they said it never happened so there was nothing to leak.
Therefore, an outside person or team leaked this information to Jay and the press, which shows that McDaniels has to be a liar.
1. why hasnt any freaking story leaked abt some teams calling/inquiring abt brady, peyton, eli, ben, etc., if this was just normal at this time? even if other teams obviously knw these players are unavailable, that they still had the temerity to ask if the pats would trade brady, how come there never was a story abt it in the past?! pls dont tell me no team ever asked or ever thought of getting brady or peyton via a trade all these years.
2. so how come this story abt teams "asking" for cutler becomes news now, if mcd is telling the truth they only "listened" to offers?! if this is "normal" around this time, teams asking for ANY player, why has this blown up?! it shouldnt be news then, if this happens every year....
nothing makes sense...well, mcd doesnt make sense.

This is a great point. Every team with a big need at QB was suddenly in the discussion after this all broke.
And this brings me to my point.. It's all become really clear to me what's going on here. People automatically distrust Josh McDaniels because he worked for the Patriots and Bill Belichick. Look back at some of your own posts, Ravage, B4, Mojo, I know this is part of your whole thought process. Anyone who has studied psychology, help me out here: this is confirmation bias at it's finest.
Now, I know I'm susceptible to it too, everybody is. But at least I know I am.
Join the party!
Note. The best posters are the ones who are willing to consider other opinions. But most people just want to dive in and say crap. But hey, it's a board I guess...Go Broncos, make me keep believing this year

Originally posted by Chicago-Broncofreak View PostYou bring up good points - it is true we all don't always focus on the nasty side of what happens behind closed doors in the league.
But I like Jay's honesty. Perhaps some people call it immature but I think it is refreshing and can reflect a new kind of leadership for him as he continues to develop. I'd rather hear honesty from my franchise QB than the company line. As long as he is responsible about how he portrays that honesty, then things will be great for him. That is not to say that he maybe has come off in the wrong way the past few days- but that is more about media spin than content.
McD did channel BB a bit with his no-comment ways. But hopefully McD has his own personality- Denver always appreciates individuality as long as it is team-oriented.
And to try and not stay :offtopic:for the thread, I'd like to say that I am curious about Graham going in to meet him and coming out with that company line. He is an ex patriot and all, but I wonder if Jay will get honesty behind closed doors (and if Graham did or not).

You insult my football knowledge, not sure how you can do that with someone you don't know. I have never said once that I want him gone. Looks like he is staying anyway. What I don't get about some of you is the fact no one is allowed to say anything negative about Cutler without some folks getting their panties in a wad. It's almost like people are scared to speak the truth because they don't wanna get bashed by you guys. Me personally, I just like getting you cats riled up sometimes. I do however stand by my previous comments about how Jay makes horrible decisions, can't throw the deep ball, turns the ball over too much, doesn't go through his progressions, etc. Regardless of his stats and how much upside he has (which i agree he does have tons of upside) you can't prove to me that I'm wrong in what I've seen. Lets all just hope he gets better.All it takes to win is doing whatever it takes to win: COMMITMENT

Bronco Lover
I understand the fire I'm under at this time. And I can take it.
McDaniels should have known better than to start the trade talks. He never should have done it, but he did.
I am a dedicated and loyal fan of the Denver Broncos since the early 1970's and I am very upset with what has transpired over the last few days.
The Denver Broncos is a very highly respected organization and now I feel it has been tarnished and I am upset with that. If all of you feel that my feelings and opinions have gotten in the way, I understand.
Right now, I am at a loss for words. I was simply expressing my views and opinions, and if I have created a firestorm on these boards, I gracefully apologize.D.E

Originally posted by Ravage!!! View PostActually.. you are wrong. He's still lying whether he admits it or not. Thats the definition of a lie. See, the Bucs and Lions aren't going to come out and call anyone a liar. Thats none of their business.
So if you are holding your breath for some 100% handholding, eye-witness.... then you are right. You will never get it. This is why he continues to tell lies to everyone. Because he knows there will never be that "proof".. other than the OBVIOUS facts.... yet knows there will always be followers to believe what they are told.
I understand supporting your belief but you're going over board in your righteous indignation.
