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.

Whoa, a Dala sighting!

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.

You guys both make good points. However, a couple of big mistakes were made:

1. McDaniel lied about it after he got his hand caught in the cookie jar. If he would have just come clean, it could have been resolved. Instead, he was at very least not forthright and he came across as being less than genuine. Regardless of his motives, he wasnt being "stand up".

2. Regardless of whether or not Cassel knows the system, he is not in the same league as Cutler in terms of talent. Cutler has a bigger arm and is more accurate. You can teach a system...you can't teach talent.

3. This was going to blow up either way. The last thing a rookie coach needs is controversy especially a 32 year old inexperienced rookie coach that replaced the most successful coach in Bronco history.

McDaniels sucks. Romeo Crennel 2: Electric Boogaloo
