I'm starting to think that maybe Cutler wasn't a good QB. He sure loved throwing floaters. Also, I had totally forgotten that he played for the Dolphins.
Still pisses me off to no end they didn't remove him from that game after his 2nd TD pass to put us up 14-0 in the 1st. Could have rode Cousins (even super Int prone Cousins back then) to a win, and maybe RG3 doesn't completely fuck up the knee where he never comes back.
Granted, he may never have improved as a pocket passer to the point where he'd be a real starter going forward...but his impact that year was undeniable and we were dominating that game until he was basically out there gimping around unable to do anything.
I always thought Shanahan should have pulled him after the first time he 'hurt' the knee in that game.
Kind of ironic since he was reported to have maybe one of the stronger throwing arms ever. Think Elway basically said Cutler was comparable to him.
I liked facing him in the playoffs the few times we made it. I knew the Chargers would win. I wish him good luck.I hoped the Bengals would get something out of Dalton instead of outright cutting him. But I guess they didn't receive any offers worth anything because everyone knew we'd likely cut him anyway.
Seems like a mistake this year to make new QBs day one starters.
No mini camps
No OTAs
Much shorter time to acclimatize to new offense and getting to the nfl.
Should let vets start give the young guys some time to learn before being hung out to dry.
Yes, Miami should start fitz and LAC should start Tyrod. Only exception is GB. They should start Love for the lulz.
Heh, I was just reading that and thinking the same thing. I mean how often do you get value out of a 6th round pick anyway? So I guess it is worth taking the shot at it just to spite your rivals? I dunno
