Broncos 2009 Preseason Schedule Announced

It kinda sucks that the Cowboy/Bronco scrimmage and game has been put onhold I thought that was a pretty cool thing to implement in the middle of offseason and it always managed to work up a couple stories, such as the “Brandon Marshall is no T.O. and Adam Pacman Jones is no Champ Bailey story” Not to mention the scrimages provided some ligit competition.

Just saw on the bottom line of ESPN that Jay Cutler will forfiet $100,000 for missing more then 10% of offseason workouts.

Not sure what this means neccessarily, but it doesn’t appear as if Jay has put this behind him like you all have hoped he would. I’ll see if I can find more on it.

NathanH,
I also saw that news while I was watching the ncaaw tournament. With no communication happening we’ve reached an apparent dead end. But I did hear that Pat Bowlen said that he put in a request to speak to Cutler and he hasn’t heard from him. I’m not sure what to think about the turnaround by Bowlen and mcdaniels. It seems that they have gone from being dead set on only one way to trying something new. If he’s still around, he may not report until June… his required time. I had concluded for myself that I now believe that the best thing for them to do is separate and in light of this it may be the best option for the broncos to take. Neither of them will reach their full potential together and they can’t be forced together at this point- the slightest thing will cause them to go off on each other. There appears to be a zero trust factor for Cutler and if pushed, he could sit the entire season (even though he said he would be at the mandatory). All the broncos can do is place him on the hold out list and attempt to collect a fine, but that only brings more problems with the union. I know that denver needs a qb, but it’s probably best that it’s not this one- they both need to go their separate ways.

if cutler stays away much longer, even if remains with the broncos, there will be more problems down the line like when he is taking reps with the second team when he comes back because Sims has a huge head start on learning the offence. I can imagine him going into super sulkly mode because his huge ego will be further damaged and he will see it as McD ‘teaching him a lesson’ but in reality its due to himself staying away so long. If im McD, id give him 2 weeks from now to show up for clear the air talks and with a view to getting into Dove Valley immediately, if not, then work our a*s off to get the best deal for him leading up to the draft, i wouldn’t leave it any later as it will be too rushed and we wouldn’t get full value- i see where Cutler is coming from but it is seriously time for him to grow a set, man up and get back and lead your team!!

That has nothing to do with intelligence BrocoinVA, or the IVY league would be better then the SEC.

NathanH,
I actually don’t think that it is a grudge-but we’ll never know. In sports business, there’s always something behind the scenes going on and we will never know the full story. People may not like what he’s doing, but one thing is for certain- he gave them an answer and they should’ve listened. So, to an extent, the front office shares a huge part of the blame. On the issue of Simms, I can tell you that no one in Texas wants him here because he is the only Texas qb to lose all of his games versus OU- the coach finally saw the light and put him on the bench so you are more than welcome to have him. Cutler doesn’t want to be there-so part company and let him play somewhere else because people may not like him, but he is performing business because there really is no loyalty in sports, everybody better look out for themselves because if they don’t who will. As fans, we are not entitled to anything more than to enjoy the season and it will go on. No one promised us anything more and we don’t get anything else. Is he wants to leave and find a new team- go for it! Trust me, he doesn’t care if anyone calls him names because he’s looking out for himself- which is what he should be doing.

No Houston?

Jay cutler is officially back on the trading block. #%$%$#@$%^&&**!!!!!!!

WE’RE TRADING JAY WHAT THE FRACK!!!!

Fire McDaniels u dumb-ass Pat B!

seriously considering picking an NFC team to cheer for…

Correction…a winning near future.

yeah Ryan, I can’t seem to generate enough anger to give up on my team… but I may be rooting for the Cowboys this year more than the Broncos. (And in secret… whoever lands Cutler)

Ah Screw it
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BRONCOOOOOOOOOOOOS!!!!!!!!!

I’m still super pissed.
First Shanny, now Cutler. How many injuries did we have last year and how close were we? Genius.
@#$%%$#@!@#$%%$#@#$%$%#@@#$%$%#@#$%%$E@@#$%%$#

its being reported everywhere, from the team website to espn…

“Numerous attempts to contact Jay Cutler in the last 10 days, both by head coach Josh McDaniels and myself, have been unsuccessful,” Bowlen said.

I wanna say I feel bad for the team that trades for him, but hell, I am gonna feel bad enough watching next season, to feel bad for anyone else !

thanks soxbigdog i should have waited like 2 seconds befor i posted huh? lol

Yea he can win with Qb’s that haven’t played since HS. But whoever we get has to learn the system for 4 years like cassel did first. So here’s to 2013! WTF

Thanks Champ …
Damn.
BTW Belichick won with Cassel not McDaniels. He’s never coached before!! Plus Cassel had …a pretty fair offense (and defense) in place, didn’t he?

Cutler is a good QB, but not great. He made most of his passing yards, because of no running game. He is not even close to being in the top 10 qb’s last year. He is quitting on his teammates, and fans. Montana, Elway, didnt quit when the topic of getting traded came up. They went on to win Super Bowls

Champ2203 dont feel bad… I only saw it because it was in a flashing red box on the Yahoo sports page “CUTLER TO BE TRADED”… it took awhile for it to get picked up elsewere.. ESPN is only really mentioning it in passing with a headline of “On second though… Cutler will be traded”
