Yes, here it is, another Denver Broncos post. And, again it's about the saga involving new coach Josh McDaniels and Quarterback Jay Cutler. Cutler has continued his hissy fit over the fact that the team considered trading him on Feb. 28th. This hissy fit culminated in Cutler demanding a trade 10 days ago...which has now pushed Broncos Owner Pat Bowlen passed the point of no return. Bowlen said yesterday that the Broncos would accommodate Cutler's demand for a trade.
I, for one, am glad. Jay Cutler may turn out to be a hall of fame quarterback, but I don't want anybody on the Broncos who's a "me first" guy which Cutler has proven he is. He could have been the bigger man in this. He could have said, "I understand football is a business, but that doesn't mean I have to be happy about the attempted trade. Still, I'm going to come in and play hard for my teammates." But, instead he's acted like a 15 year old girl who's been wronged by her supposed BFF.
What Cutler doesn't seem to get is, football, more than any other sport is about the team first. No player is untouchable if the coach or front office believes the team can be better without them. Cutler has been good in his first 3 seasons, but he's not proven that he's going to be so good that you'd be nuts to consider ever trading him.
So, now Cutler and the Broncos are parting ways. As a fan, I will always take the Broncos side in this, even if Cutler turns out to be the next Brett Favre. Hopefully the front office will make the right moves and improve the team with this trade. I think they can, but they have to be smart and they have to be a little lucky, or 2009 will be a long season in Broncoland.

Remember when you used "bff" in your blog? That was awesome!
Yeah, that was one of my finer moments in this particular blog. Thanks for noticing.
