Love the “Star Wars” analogy. Very creative.

Where I blog the amount of McDoofus-hating is way-higher.

Gee, I wonder why that is?

Ian . . . . I’ve read many of your posts before with great interest . . . this was your worst by far . . . .

Your flippant comments and foul language do you no justice . . .

Sirius NFL Radio had MEvans from “The Fan” and Krieger from the Post, and asked them if Cutler would be Denver’s QB this fall.
Krieger-No
Evans-yes

Part of me says “vanish him the depths of hell”….while another part of me doesn’t want him to end up being a thorn in Denver’s side for the next 10+years on another team.

I love how everyone is now jumping ship from being on Cutler’s side! Since all this started on the second day of free agency I have been one of the fw behind the Broncos all the way. Now as we here more and more coming out about Cutler and his ass agents behavior in all this now everyone is getting behind the Broncos, as they should. I love this article because it plainly states the truth….Cutler is a dick! I have heard for the last two years that very few on his own team like him and isn’t it important to have your team respect you at least. And isn’t it funny how no one on this team is backing Cutler up? Goes to show the real nature of kid petulance! Who cares how the Broncos handled the original trade stuff, Cutler and his agent overreacted looking to get an upper hand and now that has blown up in their faces. Good riddance Jay you could have been a star here but now you will be another player to waste his talent because your ego is to big and your agent is only looking out for himself!

kerry the changes you list are definitely going to take work to overcome, but, we’ll still be a top ten offense, there’s just too much talent to drop too far especially with a proven system that works. The defense will improve from horrific to at least fair, and as an optimist I think top 20. That gets us 4-2 in the division, and I believe 5-5 out. The division was won with an 8-8 record, and San Die-ego plays the same teams we do. 9-7 minimum.

jordan C:

told you what would happen if you ever agreed with me or spoke out against this team even though its in total chaos with no end in sight. the fact if the matter is that this team, even with Cutler in this upcoming year, may only win 6-8 games anyway due to the tough schedule, new coaches, new defense and offensive scheme and Mcdaniels poaching of the team chemistry. most keep going on and on about Cutler like he is gonna win us the division this year when in fact this year is a total rebuilding year regardless if he is here or not.

but this is how it will shape up, Cutler and McDaniels eventually have a meeting without the agent present and things get hashed out, if not, Cutler gets traded on draft day. im betting he gets traded draft day with our 12 pick to Cleveland and we end up with Brady Quinn and the number 5 overall pick.

Richard –

I would rather have had Shanahan start realizing that he’s a head coach and not a god or a GM. If he’d have hired a real defensive coordinator and let the personnel department do their jobs by getting real defensive players, the team would have been in the best situation. But he didn’t, so we’re moving on.

You guys are turning me into kerry. I’m not being that negative – well, not yet. Just because I have conflicted feelings about the new coach and some his reckless decisions (and the prima donna QB), doesn’t make me a fair-weather fan. It means I actually care, but I’m willing to look at the situation fairly.

If believing that you’re team is going to win the Super Bowl every year is the definition of a “true fan”, then I’m out. I hope for the Super Bowl every year and I expect it when it makes sense.

I’m discouraged about the team now, because I had tons of hope when McD was hired and he started off with all the right FA moves.

I was a proponent of McD and Nolan within a few days of Shanahan getting fired and I said as much on this site. That’s why, with all this BS, I along with many others, are a bit disappointed in general.

I’m beginning to think that with Cutler’s salary of just over $1 mil this year, the team will stick him on the bench, hold out or not, until he changes his tune. Cutler will want to play too much to stick out the year. If not, then trade him. I don’t think that the value of a 26 year old pro bowl QB will be much lower than a 25 year old QB. If, by this time next year, Cutler is still pouting, get something else for him and draft Sam Bradford.

I still like my analogy. And I still hate Belichek.

Great read, couldn’t have said it better myself.

I actually am starting to respect McD. I saw the video of Jabar G. stating that he is like Belicheck with the “no one is above the team” attitude and I think Denver could benefit from this mindset.

Jordan C We have been on the Patriots west road since McD was hired.
Would you rather have another 8-8 season with a Horrible D( another season with Slowik), or a 10-6 playoff season?

PS Our souls were bought and paid for when we became Bronco Fans. Except for me, of course, I’m Agnostic.
