Jay Cutler

Jay Cutler

According CBS4 Denver Jay Cutler and Josh McDaniels finally spoke, the conversation was via conference call with McDaniels and Pat Bowlen. The conversation apparently did not go smoothly. According to CBS4,

McDaniels made it clear to the quarterback how the team will be run, and how Cutler was expected to fit into that plan. McDaniels reiterated the Broncos position that they have no intention of trading Cutler, but he also made it clear that all players are being constantly evaluated and could be traded if management thinks it will make the team better.

Per CBS4, Pat Bowlen called Cutler twice last week and both of the calls went unreturned.

Well thats just great news for the Denver Broncos. Personally I don’t get why Jay can’t let this go. At this point it’s crazy to think that it’s still bothering him this much. Cutler is not the first “franchise” player to be traded or attempted to be traded, but he continually acts like it. Even Shannon Sharpe was almost traded by Mike Shanahan. I know the rest of you don’t go to work and spit in your boss’s face when he tells you something you don’t like. Cutler has no excuse for not returning Bowlen’s phone calls, after all he’s the guy who signs his checks. There is nothing good that can come out of a disgruntled quarterback. Cutler has the right to be angry but not to tear apart this franchise.

One rumor is that Cutler cancelled the meeting today and has no intent on rescheduling. Stick around for more updates as the rumors and hopefully facts/Adam Schefter reports fly in.

    Okay,
    Look what we have is a failure to communicate! First of all, all athletes are not the SAME. I am not sure how this came to that (Johnson left Troy Aikman on the tarp after the superbowl-he sure wasn’t going to do it before!) You are entitled to run your organization as you see fit, but YOU will have to live with the consequences. This guy will be gone and where does that leave you-behind the eight ball trying to convince the nfl that your replacement is spectacular? please! You haven’t had alot of big time problems so this is really new territory, but I’ll tell you this TRADING JAY CUTLER WON’T HELP YOU OR JOSH-YOU’LL BOTH SUFFER. Your front office sounds more like an audition for comedy hour and laugh at Jerry Jones all you want, but he wouldn’t have stood for this being played out allover the nation. You have a weak owner who hired the looney tune characters to run the office and you have become a complete laughing stock. We can’t believe that you don’t know what to do. Say what you want about Jerry Jones and laugh it up, but you won’t be laughing when we take the former coach and your quarterback! Keep up the good work, with this economy we need all the laughs we can get!

    GET RID OF CRY BABY CUTLER! On behalf of the thousands of people who are currently UNEMPLOYED, and would love nothing more than to make 1%, yes 1% of what Jay Cutler makes in one year (i.e. $65,000), I don’t know who he thinks he is. In case he hasn’t figured it out…EVERYONE is replaceable. Does he really not get that?? The NFL is a business and he’s an employee. That being said, GROW UP, Cutler! You don’t even have a winning record! Have some respect for your bosses and stop acting like a spoiled baby! If anyone from the Broncos organization is listening…. PLEASE, get rid of Cutler and get someone who APPRECIATES THEIR JOB and is more concerned with winning than whining.

  • plato68

    Nicole, Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water you had to bring up Jerry facelift Jones and laughing stock in the same paragraph

  • JRODZ

    THIS IS BAD MOJO!

    MOJO RISING

  • Richard

    Regardless of what may or may not be happening between McD and the Quarterback, the chain of command is Bowlen, then McD, then position coaches, etc. Cutler is pissed, SO WHAT. When the owner makes an effort to contact you and you stiff him twice, you need to quit being a GD child. Doesn’t matter if you’re flipping burgers or quarterbacking a football team. Whether McD messed up by talking about a trade during Free Agency, which is part of his job, is debatable. But being ignored when he an the owner tried to mend fences is UNACCEPTABLE. Should our “sensitive” qb show up on Monday he will be given the opportunity to play for this team. Should he not, SCREW HIM! Trade his ass to Detroit for their first and 20th, spend 2 minutes regretting what might have been with “the boy blunder”, and move on. If he doesn’t like it here, see how long it will be to see the playoffs with that world class organization in Michigan.

    When Craig Morton was quarterbacking our team during our first superbowl run, I remember him being checked into a hospital after leaving the field at the end of the game. He remained there all week, checking out a few hours before the next game. Had one of his better games, won the game and went back to the Hospital for two more days. Compare and contrast his behavior with Cutler. Indeed 7(Morton’s number)> 6.

  • JRODZ

    We can’t lose sight of what is really going on. Jay Cutler is a commodity is a highly competitive business known as the NFL. Sure he’s “our” QB with the golden arm, but he’s still just one piece in a larger puzzle. The moment Jay or any of us confuse his role and his place in this machine, the ever-present reality of what really drives this sport gets ready to slap it on him. Jay needs to step up, say his peace to McD and show up for work for OTA’s. That’s the only thing McD is going to respond to at this point. The reality is that McD is running the show now. He has played his hand – right or wrong. He’s now set the tone in Denver and Jay needs to see that. He needs to lay low, throw for 4,000 yards this season and 40+ touchdowns. He needs to lead us to the playoffs and put up some victories. It’s put up or shut up time. Earn your dough & prove to McD that he was crazy to think about someone else. Come on Jay! We need you!

  • WhidbeyBronco

    thank you T-money as usual. And Ryan. Spot on! I should stop there but @#$% that. You’re just wrong East!

    The only point I agree with you on (though i generally DO agree with you) is that Cutler needs to return Bowlen’s calls. He will I imagine. I think he’ll be at work Monday when he’s due to be right? If my boss left messages during my vacation (especially after pissing me off) I’d feel zero obligation to get back with him til Monday.
    1. How dumb to compare salaries. Right is right.
    2. Also How dumb to put words and behavior in Cutler’s mouth! He’s hardly said anything! Outraged? Maybe but I sure didn’t hear it! He said he’s upset and he said why he was upset in very few, simple words. So?
    3. he talked to McDaniels today right? kills your #5 right?
    4. How is Cutler tearing apart the team? Has he ranted, raved or even really criticized anyone in the organization? Has he missed a practice? Missed a workout? Missed a meeting? Held out for more money? Been arrested? Tearing apart the team?
    Please!
    5. “Cutler’s whiny arrogant behavior”. Could you reference this please? Bit the hand that feeds? How? Refused to answer the phone UNTIL MONDAY but takes his money? He DID answer the phone and he IS living up to every letter of his contract as far as I can see!! A good deal so far at that!!

    You’re the only one whining here. What’s your real beef with JC? God I bet you hated Elway when he first landed here after tearing apart Indy’s team right?
    You keep saying they never intended to trade Cutler… What does that mean? They never pulled the trigger? Ok. But they for sure considered it. And I believe as Cutler does, as schefter reported, that THEY SHOPPED HIM. Bottom line. They considered their options (which is fine as even Cutler said!!) and basically lied about it.
    Lie to me and see how quick I jump up from my vacation to return your calls! Especially a seemingly surly one like the one (probably mis-) reported today.
    I’m still behind the new powers that be but they screwed up.

    That said, BOTH sides better get to fixing what we’re likely making way too much of anyway, or we’ll all be very sorry.

  • WhidbeyBronco

    i just followed the link you left Money… Yeah We so can’t trust any of this garbage. Jay’s due in Monday… he’ll have to talk and work with the new staff then. Our season starts then.
    Did anyone notice the slant of the replies to that story? ha!
    East? You piss me off! That’s ok though, I don’t respect many folks here even enough to reply. Get on with your bad self! (and wrong opinion of Cutler …lol!)
    1-5 Go Broncos

    Everyone needs to calm down, this is getting ugly. This whole thing doesn’t add up in my eyes. The media knows that Jay is emotional and has no filter on his thoughts. They love to illicit responses from him, then blow his responses way out of proportion. He feels that he is being lied to, and has a right to be angry. McD has stated from day 1 that jay was his guy and he was looking forward to working with him, then tried to pull off an underhanded deal. That being said, he needs to channel that anger into proving he is the guy we know he can be.
    I don’t get where his “me first” attiude is coming from. He helps out in the community, allowed B-Marsh to stay at his pad and went over game plans and threw with him after practicing all day when he was suspended, he insisted Kerry Collins take the second spot at the pro bowl because he is a 14 year vet, then he pulls this crap? Would the real Jay Cutler please stand up?
    McD is bush league. He ist he complete opposite if Jay Cutler in that he is dishonest, and refuses to speak about anything. Hopefully once the OTA’s start, these opposites will attract, and a fearsome offense will develop.
    Mr. East, I respect what you have to say, but I don’t totally agree with it all of it. I can’t say that I disagree completely either. Jay said he wanted to lay low for a while, and I’m sure people (the media) were pestering him incessantly. I would have turned my phone off too. Perhaps he pulled an office space, and blew off his boss, or maybe he had his phone off. Everything is pure speculation, so as I have said, I will give the guy who is more tenured in Denver the benefit of the doubt until the source close to the situation is Jay or McD themselves.

  • T-Money

    If Cutler DOES NOT show up on the 16th for work outs… Then you can worry.

    The media is just another type of government with a tight grip on your family jewels.

  • Broncogibb

    Why In the world Do the Brass Think Its such a good Idea to Change every thing well I thought they were on the right track by redoing the “De” but wow talk about a few heart breaking years ahead. I have a feeling that the Raiders and Chefs will Be above them this year and NO broncos fan wants that, Dont worry I still Support the Blue and Orange but lets all get ready for some more years of nothing happening but U just have to hang in there threw the next Just Remember ELWAY didn’t win any super bowls until he retired but I guess after breaking some of his records and going to the Pro-Bowl in the FIRST TWO FULL seasons Cutler Has been In Denver but that just doesn’t mean anything anymore!!!!!

    (I dont Know Maybe all the players they’ve let go I guess that just says maybe they just didn’t wanna cheat not saying that Head Coach Josh McDaniels is like that other guy (Bill B.) we’ll see how it goes lets all pray for the best.)

    AND GO BRONCOS!

  • http://myspace.com/paraleipsis jchase8410

    The whole fiasco I’d turning into a pissing match, I can’t wait until Monday, if jay Is there, he will be there fir the season. If he doesn’t show, he will be traded away…which I believe is a HUGE mistake

  • Joe H.

    At ESPN.com the infamous Bill Williamson said that there were 2 sources one from each side. And of course what source does he talk about about the most? Cutlers side of course!!! I’ll bet that unnamed source is probably his agent. I’m just getting f—–g tired of this whole situation!!!!!!! What they BOTH need to do is have live news conference together where McDaniels verifies that the Broncos aren’t trading Cutler. And Cutler needs to let everyone know that he is over this and he wants to put this all behind them and that he will give everyone,McDaniels,Bowlen and Bronco fans his absolute best this season.
    Both sides were wrong McDaniels probably should have told Cutler that teams have been calling about trading for him,and if the right proposal comes up,we might take it! Then Cutler might not have reacted like he has! Cutler just needs to get over himself!! If Shannon Sharpe was tradeable than so could Cutler!!!! Maybe he did think that McDaniels lied to him but maybe he should have meet him face to face to get the facts straight instead of hearing it from another person. Whatever happens I hope it happens soon this is getting really old really quick!!!!

  • Eternalrealness

    Too all Bronco Fans,
    This is crazy! I have never heard of a 3rd year quarteback who hasn’t even made the palyoffs. Trying to dictate like has as proved something. don’t get my wrong I want Jay to remain our quaterback,but not if he’s going to act like some little Bi*** (and Chris Simms is not the answer).Well all,Wait and see what happen this could be a case of Josh Mclittle trying to trun the mile high city to Foxboro.An finnally the only person that can truly fix this is Mr.Pat Bowlen,he signs the checks and he needs to tell then both how things are going to go. So to all my fellow bronco fans’ i hope like you this is all fixed,we make the playoffs and do not be looking back for Shanahan..

  • jvill

    ryan: Tell me one healthy relationship you have in your life that does not have trust. So spare me all the “Cutler needs to be a professional” stuff. I bet if you had someone at your work who lied to you and then would not own up to it, it would have an adverse effect on your working relationship.

    I have relationships at work with people I don’t trust to do things 100% correctly. But I have to work with them anyway, don’t I? Somehow, for the good of the project and the client, we get things done anyway, rather than stomping our feet and whining about life not being fair, and complaining about “she hit me first!”

    And also, speaking of trust, it’s clear it’s Cutler’s people leaking all this BS, unless you think its Xander’s interns somehow on these calls and sending out Twitter updates.. If trying to attack your coach and team management through anonymous, gossipy leaks isn’t unprofessional, I don’t know what is…

    Cutler needs to get his own house in order and deal with a mess he’s contributed to creating by piquing interest around the lead when he hinted at a trade when Shanny was fired.

    Cutler can batten down the hatches and actually try to solve this thing, or he can continue dragging his feet, whining and behaving astoundingly passive aggressive about the whole ordeal.

    Victim’s Complex, thy name is Jay Cutler.

  • wbross57

    i think this would be a good time for a user poll: according to the current media hype, who’s side are you on? McD or Jay-C

    count me as one for McD. I agree with Hastings: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/danpatrick/blog/54441/index.html?eref=fromSI

  • Richard

    jvill don’t be naive. People that employ YOU lie to you all the time. As an employee, you take it in exchange for that paycheck. One of the problems with Shanahan’s last years as coach was a lack of discipline, and for better or worse thats one of the things Bowlen hired McD to restore. If little Jay can’t deal with that, or won’t, then he’s GONE. And in the long run we’d be better off without him. He either grows up and acts like an adult or let him NOT ACCOMPLISH anything somewhere else, such as Detroit. See my earlier post # 56

  • Candide

    It’s still all about the Benjamins, boys. Cutler wants to be paid. By the Broncos, or by someone else. It’s really a no lose proposition for him.

    Not so good for the Broncos however. It looks like the the 2 phone calls not returned to Bowlen turned the tide. Telling your starting QB to get in line at this point will not produce good results. I think he’s long gone. And McDumbshit better be looking for a new QB.

  • http://broncotalk.net (dee)

    Mr East

    Forget it, alot of fans will back Cutler blindly because they are hurt at the fact McD tried to trade him. In my opinion a grown ass man shouldnt pout every time something doesnt go his way. A team leader doesnt blame his defense in losses, an elite quarterback let’s his play do his talking for him… but Cutler is not elite.

    I’m thinking if Cutler doesnt show up Monday, you trade him… cut the cord now. I’m so annoyed at Cutler thinking everyone has to bend over for him. Bottom line in my opinion Cutler wants out, he doesnt want to be apart of this team, and the trade talks were his opportunity. Think about it, when the trade was discussed his reaction wasnt “let me talk to the organization, or I have no comment” ….. his initial comments were “I liked it here, but I guess I’m not going to be here” ….

    Mr East …. alot of people are Cutler fans first and Broncos Fans second. Cutler hasnt done anything for us, people say he had no defense well Indy won a superbowl with no defense.

    Cutler is a above average Cutler back, who has mental lapses and can win you a game, however AS WE HAVE SEEN IN DENVER he can cost you a game by throwing 2-3 Ints.

    DENVER BRONCOS ORGANIZATION … end this annoying period in our team history if he misses Monday then you trade his whiny little bitch ass.

    Jay Cutler is a bigger Punk than Phillip Rivers, and I never thought I’d say that. At least Rivers sticks it to the other team, not his own team.

    Ok Jay Cutler lovers, I’m ready for your backlash… proceed….

  • http://broncotalk.net (dee)

    As a team we must be united, divided we will fall. Thinking back every Bronco Player that has not fit into our team concept has been released (J Walker, Ashley Lelie, etc)

    Mr Bowlen is fully committed to his coach, I think Cutler was spoiled because of Shanahan’s man crush on him. If Cutler does not fall into line he will be traded, and you know what? … The Broncos will survive, The Broncos will win, Jay Cutler is not bigger than the Broncos… and I hate fans that are treating him like he is the savior we have been waiting for … The only thing he has saved his from since his time in Denver is getting to watch playoff games.

  • Tom9798

    jvill . . . good points made . . . allow me to expand on the one I feel lends most credence to the situation . . . remember . . . this is just a possibility . . .

    Jay Cutler decided in his heart that he no longer wanted to be part of the Bronco organization when Shannahan was fired . . . period.

    He was extremely unhappy with Pat Bowlen and felt betrayed that this man could have fired his coach . . .

    He did not know McD or Xanders at the time . . . and it didn’t matter . . .

    When they were hired . . . losing Jeremy Bates . . . the trade fiasco . . . have all poured fuel on the flames . . .

    He has not answered Pat Bowlen’s phone calls for one reason . . . he does not like Pat Bowlen and no longer wants to work for the man.

  • Jim

    Maybe. But dumb – S^&t Bowlen made a strange decision by letting go Shanahan for this guy. Also, Bates and the QB coach are gone. He has to learn a new, dry, boring offense from this guy. I don’t blame him a bit. I would ask for a trade now. Stop the media play and melo dramatics. Broncos need to get into the market for a QB or draft one.

  • charlie

    Hey all, I’m a “source close to Cutler”. Turns out he is gay and wants to quit football to play handball with Jake Plummer.

    Unless it comes strait out of Adam Schefters mouth, don’t believe it!

  • Stav

    Its unbelievable that so many of you want to pin Cutler 100% for the lack of playoffs. Let’s try and be rational fans who know our s**t, and not trash like the Raiders and Dolts fans, and admit that giving up 400+ points in back to back seasons was the real reason why we didn’t get into the playoffs. As I’ve said several times in different threads, when 7 rb’s go down, most offenses would just fold, Cutler is the only reason we were in the hunt for the AFC west this year. You all want to pick on Cutler, how about no pass rush, how about being gashed for big plays multiple times per game, how about revolving safeties of which none knew how to wrap and tackle. WAKE UP!!

    Cutler is hyper-sensitive, a whiner, who might be seeing big change on the horizon and thinks McD is going to reel his arm back in. But his arm is a Howitzer, he can make the impossible throws, and he’s got the chip on his shoulder attitude of that QB who says: give me two minutes and the ball at the 5, we’ll get the 6pts. Its love/hate for him. We all want him to keep his mouth shut but we all want him to keep throwing those bee-bees in an orange and blue jerrsey. Out of 17-20, how many games can we honestly say he was at fault for the loss? Start looking at the other side of the ball people, Shanny (all praise due to him) had no idea what he was doing in drafting/signing defensive players.

    McD, you obviously F’d up with this whole thing. How could this idiot think that Cassel is better? How could he think we’d ever get equal value back? To everyone saying trade for the #1 and get Stafford, are you really football fans? What are the chances that a rookie can come in a replace a young Pro Bowl QB just starting to reach his prime? I get it though, your team your rules, lay down the law. I got no problem with that. But as the boss, you don;t try and reconcile with your most important employee by saying “any and all players could be traded.” Give me a break, try and be original and not pull this Belichek crap, be your own man, not some cheap carbon copy of a robot. Work this mess out and get on the same page. If he loses Cutler, what are the chances he loses several players? Better than 50/50. He wants to be the boss, damage control is the key.

    Last point, I don;t care if you’re right or wrong, but if the man who signs your checks calls you, you don’t let it get to him calling you back a second time. Period. Now that’s a lack of respect plain and simple. I’m sure Cutler’s parents didn;t raise him to be that way, and I’d actually like to see what they have to say about the way he’s handled this.

    Long post, sorry.

  • Stav

    Charlie – We are in 100% agreement. If Schefter doesn’t report it, I tend to view a story with some degree of suspect.

  • T-Money

    Stav- Agreed

    ALL, meaning every single article, is written for a 5th grade reading level. That also leaves the door open to false interpretation (like the avbove 70 something posts) spin (this “source”), judgment, false leads and generally, almost always, not the entire truth.

    Just give it some time. You guys dove all over this about 3 hours after it happened. When has the full story EVER come out that quickly.

    And please tell me who you would WANT to trade cutler for. Derek Anderson? Brady Quin? Vince Young? Matt Lienert?

    How about we go to the colts and try to get Peyton Manning or the Giants and get Elie. Hell I hear that the Steelers are shopeing Big Ben (you see what i did… i went media style).

    You’re not going to get anyone better than Cutler. Only lesser QBs. Not to mention that they whole point behind the NFL is to win a Championship. How is trading away you best chance (you’re reasons: he’s a cry baby, he’s immature…nice excuses. You guys sound like you 6 years old) of winning a championship.

    I’ll say this again. WAIT FOR THE DENVER BRONCOS ORGANIZATION TO MAKE A STATEMENT BEFORE YOU JUST TO CONCLUSIONS.

  • ryan

    East, I guess we can just agree to disagree. Sad fact is that we are all Bronco fans here and I hate that I feel pitted against others who want the same thing I do more than anything else; for the Broncos to win Super Bowls.

  • http://BroncoTalk.net Mr.East

    True that ryan. I agree with you it’s heart breaking watching an “almost” year every season. The source of my frustration comes from the lack of unity on the team, and this is even a tough job for Dr.Phil.

    Stav – Well put.

    T-Money – It’s always great to see you create the bold command in the comments haha.

    (dee) – It’s tormenting these days. We all just have to wait for the workouts come Monday and see how that goes. All I know is that I wouldn’t want to be Josh McDaniels.

  • Troy D

    I think what all of this bruhaha shows is, again, just how valuable Mike Shanahan really was. I think it is McD who is too impressed with himself and doesn’t know the lay of the land. Since the Broncoes are still paying him anyway, they need to cut their losses with McD and do what it takes to get Mike back, as soon as possible. Even if he is just coach and not the GM, it is logically the best solution to a rapidly deteriorating situation. Pat needs to go to McD and say,”Sorry, this just isn’t working”, give him a check and a pat on the back and show him the door! McD is not Belicheck, nor, sadly is he Shanahan.

  • barry b

    The Broncos are already destryoed before the first game is even played post Shanahan. How does it feel broncos fans. To have a once great franchise destroyed by stupidity. Cutler is 25 coming off his first probowl he deserves alittle respect. I live in Steeler country and to think of the steelers doing something so dumb is laughable. Enjoy your next 4-5 seasons below .500

  • http://BroncoTalk.net Mr.East

    Barry b,

    Thanks for your prophecy it really means so much to everyone on this site. Please tell me everything else that’s going to happen in the next 4-5 years I’m very curious.

  • champ2203

    I just watched around the horn earlier and everyone was on cutlers side except one dude. I think cowlishaw said it best if Cutler didn’t come to denver for the face to face meeting then hop on Bowlen’s private jet and go meet with him in Nashville, show him respect and I think that would have patched everything up by reaching out to jay.

  • http://BroncoTalk.net Mr.East

    champ,

    Respect is a two way road. McDaniels needs to respect that Cutler is the franchise QB and Cutler needs to respect that McDaniels is the head coach and he can do what he wants.

    Perhaps they should compromise and meet in Missouri to talk… haha.

  • Colorancher

    T- Money,
    You should write these stories. You are 100% right on most of these topics, or we just think alike.

  • Colorancher

    Who listens to those liberals at CBS4 anyway. That station is a joke !!!
    For news and sports. Ingnore the media until you here it from the source.(Cutler or Mcdaniels) We have talked about gossip for a week and a half now. Getting old..

    i heard jim plunkett is a free agent. LOL maybe we can work something out.

    maybe simms can be the guy? wait…. did I type that?

  • Tom9798

    I left what I really think at blog #72 . . . . I think the time is right for the alternative point of view . . . .

    A senior Analyst . . . a source “with the force” has just revealed that Jay Cutler flew to Tampon Bay over the weekend . . . .

    Disguised as Ziggy Marley . . . Jay put aside his Tuoca wineskin and left-handed cigarette long enough to say he was crushed by the revelation that Bill Belichick was really his father and that Philip Rivers was his long estranged brother . . .

    . . . said Jay, “I don’t care where I land, as long as it is the left coast of Florida . . . can you dig these palm trees? . . . I’m tired of freezing my can off . . . getting my can kicked and yelled at all the time by everybody . . . even Philip gives me grief and they ended 8-8! . . . anyway . . . if you think I’m going to show up Monday for some kind of conditioning crap . . . sit back . . . roll another fat one . . . and this time don’t bogart the damn thing! . . .

    The senior analyst stated . . . “That whole Pro-Bowl thing was stressful for Jay . . . and all the goings on in the last few weeks have presented him with far too many aspects to consider what with these off-season conditioning programs and such . . . maybe in a few more weeks he will be “with the force” . . . but probably not anywhere that it’s cold.” . . .

    Thanks . . . and we’ll call you . . . .

  • http://BroncoTalk.net Mr.East

    Tom,

    That was the most interesting and strangest thing I have ever read in my time at Bronco Talk. Thank you for that.

  • Tom9798

    Thanks Mr. East . . . I felt I had to lend some levity and humor to a situation that is close to becoming a real tragedy . . . if you read my blog at #72 and add Bus Cook as one of the flamethrowers, I really feel that Jay might be persuing and causing his own demise at Denver . . .

    I’m hoping that he fires Bus Cook over the weekend and shows up Monday at Dove Valley . . . I do not believe he is going to find happiness or a better matched team to play with in the NFL than Denver . . . . unfortunately . . . the grass always looks greener. . . .

  • Tom9798

    As a side note . . . let me add that Jay has an extraordinary opportunity presented to him . . .

    He can take over the team . . . show up Monday . . . state that this is “My team” . . . . and solidify a leadership role . . . .

    Pat Bowlen will turn to McD and say . . . “told you” . . . and McD will realize that trading Jay won’t ever be an option . . .

    If he does not show up . . . that opportunity will be lost . . . and what happens from there is a crapshoot . . .
