Get Off Jay Cutler's Back Already

I was just watching Mike and Mike and they were talking about the Jay Cutler thing. I haven't spoken my mind about it this week as I was trying to stay focused on the event at hand, the NCAA Tournament.

*which was great last night by the way....VCU was soooo close*

Greenie was basically saying that he understands and if the situation with Cutler happened to him he would probably want to leave the show. Golic on the other hand said that at some point Cutler has to look at it as a business and realize that he has to work with these people.

My argument to that is Cutler IS treating this like a business. I think it is funny that everyone is getting on Cutler's case over this. Everyone is saying that its a business and he needs to realize this can happen.


Well what do Josh McDaniels and the Broncos have to realize? They should be getting most of the blame here in my opinion. THEY tried to trade their quarterback and after they couldn't they lied about it AND THEN said they might still do it.

WHAT???

If Andy Reid and the Eagles did this to McNabb everyone would ABSOLUTELY be on Donovan's side of the situation. Or if the Bengals did this to Carson Palmer.

And don't give me the "what has Cutler done" crap cause their defense and running game have been absolute jokes the past 2 seasons. AND he is still a young quarterback. Greenie and Golic compared him to Jake Plummer a few minutes ago and that is ridiculous. Plummer was a veteran quarterback who knew the game.

Personally I don't blame Cutler at all. Sure he could have just sucked it up and played a few more seasons in Denver and then left. But if the team is in the market for getting rid of him, why are they so upset that he wants to leave?

Wouldn't you be upset if your closest boss (one that you have to work with everyday and are basically like family with) told you that he wants someone else to do your job? And don't lie....you would probably stay and work (cause what else can you do) but there is absolutely NO FREAKING WAY that you are going to give 100% to that boss.

Let's Kill Two Birds with One Stone

Unfortunately I am a big time San Francisco 49er fan. I say unfortunately because I still remember the good old days when they were great and couldn't be stop. The other unfortunate part is that I remember when the aforementioned Terrell Owens ran Jeff Garcia out of town and single handedly blew up my favorite team for many years to come. I would love to say that I have no hard feelings but if you check out my profile on the right side of this column you will see that Mr. Owens is my least favorite athlete. I think he is a cry baby, a cancer, a self-absorbed idiot, and really just a glory hog. Next time I will tell you how I truly feel about him.

The GM did a great job of describing the many possibilities that lie ahead for Owens and I believe it was a very accurate analysis of where Owens may end up. I think it will come down to 3 teams as well but my gut tells me the Saints will be much bigger players in this then what the GM thinks. I think it will come down to the Chiefs and Saints.

It would not break my heart to see no teams go after him and for Owens to have to retire against his own will. That, however, will not happen only because we all know that no matter how bad your attitude is or how much of a locker room cancer you are, if you have talent there is a place for you in some NFL locker room somewhere. I would take pleasure in begging the GM's in the NFL not to sign this guy but I know I would just be wasting my breath.

I have a solution that would make several people happy however.

See right now in the NFL there are several teams or individuals that have issues. Anquan Boldin wants out of Arizona. Donovan McNabb wants some help in Philly. LaDainian Tomlinson wants a restructured contract. Terrell Owens just wants a contract. Jay Cutler either wants to be traded or doesn't want it even talked about. I could go on and on with this but I think that two of these situations would go very well together.

They aren't Owens to the Eagles because we all know that won't happen. Boldin to the Eagles would be great for Boldin and McNabb but my gut tells me that won't happen either. So what is my solution. That's right, I think the Denver Broncos should sign Terrell Owens.

Why?

Denver needs to show their young stud quarterback that not only do they want him in Denver but they want to give him the weapons he needs to get them to the promised land. They are going to sit down next week and try to patch things up with Cutler and what better way to do this then say, "here Jay, we got you one of the most talented receivers in the game." I know it would be a lot for Cutler to handle and the GM made that point yesterday but Josh McDaniels did a great job with Randy Moss in New England and I don't see why he can't do the same with Owens.

On the other side of the field you have Brandon Marshall. The guy is a stud as long as he doesn't cross paths with the law, he is going to be great. They could arguably have the most talented group of receivers in the league. It would be right up there with Arizona and New England.

I know the Broncos need defensive help but they just got Brian Dawkins. Dawk would be able to keep Owens in line in the locker room long enough for the team to make a serious run at the Superbowl. Even with the 27 running backs on the Broncos roster, I don't think running the ball is going to be the strength of this offense. Why not make the strongest part of your game even stronger by adding one of the best talents in the game.

It may not make total sense but I think it makes enough sense for Denver to at least entertain the idea. They really need to patch things up with Cutler because I think he is the future of that team. Bringing in T.O. for at least the short term would please Cutler and give this team a serious shot at going somewhere in the playoffs.

I may be way off base here but its at least worth some thought...
