NightLink: Cutler now praising McDaniels?

I just read a story on Yahoo sports by AP Writer Arnie Stapleton, Cutler has good things to say about McDaniels.  Here's his open;

Now that they've been separated for five months, Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has high praise for Broncos rookie coach Josh McDaniels, whom he'll see in a preseason game at Invesco Field this weekend.

Cutler says in the brief time he spent with McDaniels he could tell Bill Belichick's latest disciple was an offensive mastermind. Cutler said the Broncos are in good hands with McDaniels and quarterback Kyle Orton.

 After the jump see Cutler's take on a few other things...

Star-divide

More Cutler on on McDaniels;

"He's going to be a good coach, I think their offense is going to be fine. I think Kyle's going to be fine. (McDaniels) is an offensive mind."

On his departure from the Broncos;

"I think both sides would change certain things and go about it a different way, but I think both sides are happy now and we're moving on,"

On disgruntled Bronco receiver Brandon Marshall;

"None of my business. I'm out of the loop on that whole thing,"

And finally on his former Head Coach Mike Shanahan;

Cutler said he hasn't spoken with former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan, "Mike's busy playing a lot of golf,"

So much for heating up the Shanahan to Chicago rumor!

It is not so much the Chicago media as it is the national media. They tear him apart and manipulate every story because he isn’t one of their golden boys yet. I guess it is better to be feared than loved, and they only reason he makes headlines for everything he says is because other teams fear him.

and yeah..national media does seem to have a hitlist with cutler and a few others on it.

Our local media is acting like bigger jackasses than the national media.

He can’t do one friggin interview, without having a report written about what he said in his interview. It’s friggin ridiculous. And, when he throws one bad pass, the writers all hop on the ledge of the Sears Tower. But, when he throws a TD pass, they crown him king of the city. Absolutely absurd.

If QBs were allowed to “date” football teams, he would’ve dumped us already because of this psycho treatment.

Proving them right or wrong has nothing to do with it.

They’re acting like they write for the tabloid you see at the checkout line in the grocery store.

A legit QB in Chicago

has confused so many media types, they don’t know how to act anymore. It’s like their orbits have been reversed, and they are completely confused as to what to do or say.

It’ll calm down a bit after we get a season under our belts I imagine.

Be nice. Flag comments that you think are offensive. Use the "reply" button. Drink plenty of water. Compliment others. Rec (wreck) comments and posts you like. Don't call people names. If you don't like someone's comment, attack the comment and not the commentor. Learn the difference in your/you're, then/than, to/too. Exercise. Relax. Stretch often. Find good in the world.

Well of course he can't do an interview without having it written about.

That’s the point of the interview! Hahahaha, I’m funny in the morning.

Seriously, though, I agree. Everyone just needs to settle down. Wait til week 11 or 12 to be on edge for every little thing.

Look at where the Broncos defense ranked under Shanny over the years

way better than any bears coach since Ditka.

Just a guy who learned his lesson,

Saying what he needs to say to downplay the past. I think this is a sign that he is happy here. He doesn’t hold a grudge because he’s in a situation where he’s happy, so he talks good about the guy who tried to get rid of him for Matt Cassel.

Like a fox, he takes the spotlight off himself and offers the olive branch before the game. Now it’s up to McDaniels to respond in kind. Nice!

Exactly. Thought he handled it perfectly.

The fact this crap makes headlines is pathetic.

I mean, who cares? He is obviously just trying to clear the air with McDaniels because he is going to see him on Sunday. He also said he had no advice for Brandon Marsahall w/ regards to trade talks… does that mean he is dissing Marshall?! That is a Big YES but only according to the media bums who have no other decent story to write.

Umm....

Okay, I guess this was Cutler’s way of avoiding any trash talking before the game. But it sounds extremely weird given how the trade went down.

BTW the only reason this makes headlines is because Cutler only talks to the media on Wednesdays and game days. So the writters know they won’t have anything else from him until after the game.

by Aeacus_ on Aug 26, 2009 10:31 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I am OK w/ this making headlines

Because it doesn’t fan any flames and it can’t piss any one off. There is no misconstruing what he said or taking it out of context. Good job Cutler you finally took a good route with the media!!

by GallopingGhost on Aug 27, 2009 12:04 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I heard yesterday...

that a local radio station (Here in Colorado) was texting and calling Cutler trying to annoy him. It was a local show on ESPN’s station 1600. According to these clowns, a fan even e-mailed them to tell them that he got Cutler’s phone number when they failed to safeguard it during their PODCAST. The fan told them that, tempted as he was, he resisted the temptation to post it on the Bronco boards. Not completely sure how true any of it was, but that’s what they said.

how many Chicago people are texting Orton? shouldnt they just wish him well, or not, and move the F&ck on?

I remember that game, and after that I thought it was perhaps time for him to think about retiring. That game was beyond ridiculous.

Cutler threw for 302 yards, 2TDs, 1 INT, and a 96.4 QB Rating

The Broncos D blew a 14 point lead with 10 minutes left…and their O couldn’t run the ball in the 4th quarter when it mattered most to kill clock.

by ianp on Aug 27, 2009 11:03 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

numbers can tell any story you'd like

Cutler threw too many picks last year because his defense was bad, he was playing catchup too often, in games his D held teams down he was pretty good, the Denver D gave up 448 points (worst in the AFC)

Of that List Cutler had he most yards and the 2nd most TD’s, Pro Bowl voting is 1/3 fans, 1/3 coaches, and 1/3 players… it is what it is

That list is 3 playoff teams, and the Patriots that went 11-5, Denver had the worst team of those 5

 I doubt he’ll approach that 4,500 as a Bear, but his Int’s should go down with a better running game and defense supporting him.

BUT, we’ll see!
