Isn't committed to Jason Campbell, who has 1 year left on his contract. I haven't heard what Zorn's thoughts are. Apparently Snyder thinks we are a franchise QB away from being a major contender. I'm a bit torn, because I think Jason Campbell has talent, and could turn out to be a very good quarterback. Jay Cutler is very talented, I've been impressed from his Vandy days. I feel he's got a great arm, and when he's on top of his game is very accurate. Who's knows if he's ready to handle the most powerful job in DC! But, I would be very interested to find out. I think we may be more than a player away, I hope Haynesworth will impact the D pass rush, although on the other end of the line we could use another rusher, in my opinion. I also hope we van get deeper on the O line as well. More later when the DRAFT Threads pop up!

He has a great arm. He has stretches where he looks amazing. But can we really call him a leader?

His teams at Vandy were average at best and the broncos under his leadership were average any way you want to cut it.

All that being said, what would you give up for him? More than a first round pick? I would give up a first round and perhaps another pick or player but not much else and thats only because he is under contract (and cheap!) for the next three years.

Couldnt resist. Great topic. And I dont blame Cutler one bit for wanting this move. Dumb move for a rookie coach shopping your QB.

I would agree with you, but I feel this case is a bit different. The QB that the coach wanted was available. So if you could bring that guy in, who already knows the scheme you want to run on offense. I would think that it makes it that much easier for the rest of the offense to learn. It's one less thing for a rookie or any new head coach to worry about.

This is still the NFL, right?

He surely has to have thicker skin than he showed in this case. Imagine him an Eagle for a day, where you can't even wipe your a$$ from back to front without the crazies clamoring in full force calling you everything under the sun. He'd wither away into his walk-in closet and cry.

Was McDaniels so wrong to have fielded/made a few phone calls inquiring about the services of a guy who he's biased towards? He clearly had a thing for Cassell and knew of the situation(franchise tag). I think that he wouldnt've been doing his job to the best of his capabilities if he didnt at least call about his availability. Besides, as a young first year coach, you have to set the bar and make sure they all know that no one person is above the team. Too bad if Cutler refused to see that.
