Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler is steaming mad - with good reason this time.
The signal-caller, going into his fourth year in the NFL, has been known in the past to be fiery and over-emotional at time. Just watch any Broncos verse Chargers game and you can see the Vanderbilt grad spouting what no one believes to be pleasantries with the San Diego sideline. This time; however, Cutler has every right to be perturbed.
After fewer than three months as Broncos head coach, Josh McDaniels allegedly tried to trade Cutler for the then New England Patriot Matt Cassel.
Really? You really think that's an even trade coach McDaniels?
Well lets look at the facts. You want to trade a Pro-Bowl quarterback just coming into his prime for another quarterback who is one year older and prior to last season had not started a game since high school.
I understand that the Broncos are a proud, once-great franchise that feels they should be in the playoffs every year, but why try and replace someone that wasn't a problem last season. Throwing for over 4,500 yards and 25 touchdowns should be considered above average at worst.
If not winning a playoff game in two years as a starter is worth getting rid of a quarterback, then of course it makes sense to replace him with someone with the exact same number of playoff wins: zero.
So now that the deal has fallen through and Cassel is in Kansas City, really stick it to them Jay. Demand out and pack your bags. There's a team out there willing to accept your 62.5 career completion percentage.
Lets see how another guy does under center for a team with the league's no. 30 ranked pass defense.
