Jay and Josh Need to Play Nice
Jay Cutler is a crybaby.
Josh McDaniels is an idiot.
To my first point: Jay Cutler is noticeably rattled by just about anything. He's a quality teammate, but he is his own worst enemy. If something bad happens in a game, he hangs his head and usually compounds a situation with an interception or a missed throw.
We saw his immature personality flare when he learned about his trade possibility. The NFL is a business son. Get over it.
While he should be the Broncos quarterback, management has every right to look around, especially if a team is willing to hand over the kitchen sink for him.
Cutler handled himself with little class and lesser professionalism. He should have quietly expressed his disappointment to management. That is the proper forum to get all his grief out on the table.
Now to my second point. McDaniels is an idiot for considering a trade of Cutler for Matt Cassel. Cassel had one solid year in New England's respected pass-happy system. Cassel does not possess the physical skills Cutler has.
Furthermore, McDaniels, in his conference call to Cutler, said every player is tradeable. Although Jay pouted even more, demonstrating further immaturity, McDaniels had the opportunity to back him all the way. Come out and emphatically say 'you're my guy Jay. We want you in a Broncos uniform for life.'
But no, the baby-faced tough guy had to impose his authority.
The old coaching theory that every player is different and should be coached to his specific needs fits aptly here. Cutler is an emotional guy. He NEEDS to hear support from the top to feel comfortable; to feel like he belongs.
McDaniels dropped the ball big time.
Hopefully, McDaniels can swallow his pride (Cutler certainly won't do it first) so this dilemma can can be resolved.
Otherwise, Denver fans might be cheering for journeyman Chris Simms under center next season.
Chris freaking Simms?
Please figure it out guys.
