oh..

I take it Juaquin Iglesias will not be one of the receivers on Cutlers list.

I have seen a QB and it was good.

I've got an insider subscription

So i read that whole article. It seems that Cutler wants to win, and though he may say shitty things in the heat of the moment to his teammates, he takes his share of the blame. They make a point of saying in this article that he is universally viewed as a punk, and there aren’t any quotes to the contrary. He called out his defense on the loss, and I guarentee if that happens on this team, it won’t be quietly accepted. Our team and us fans hold the D to a higher regard than our O, and if the new kid in town calls out the defense on a game where he throws 2 picks in 60 seconds like he did in denver, they’re going to let him have it.

But they also point out that Peyton Manning has the same character flaws, and is viewed universally as a great QB. If Cutler can win, he goes from being viewed as a punk whiner to a QB that demands excellence.

Here’s hoping that happens this season.

Cutler is walking a fine line

But I want him to walk that damn line.

Cutler doesn’t take shit from anybody, whether you’re an offensive or defensive player. If you screwed up, he’ll let you know. I like that cockiness. I think he thrives on it, too.

I was really pissed when Cutler “apologized” to Hester for saying what he did about Hester’s WR skills…..Hester is exactly what Cutler said he was, and Cutler had no damn reason to apologize. I’m glad that we have at least one person on our team who doesn’t care and will voice his opinion.

I'm fine with the fire...

I like it. I love how that article ends by making a point that he taught Iglesias to use both hands.

But I want to see him say “Our defense won us this game.” or “Forte did all the heavy lifting today” before I call him a leader. Right now he’s just the best QB WE’VE ever had. He could become the best in the league.

Well said Chifan

Obviously, his comment about Devin was extremely overblown but very true. I agree he needs to have an edge about him, cause he’s playing the most important position in all of sports. Confidence is everything, especially when going through tough times/games. Hopefully, he chooses less threatening words when addressing concerns about the defense.

Same here..

It’s the heat of the moment, of course you will get pissed off

I have no problem

with a QB getting in his receivers face (when warrented), good for him.

by Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. on Aug 28, 2009 1:06 PM CDT up reply actions  

Payne and Afalava are exactly where they should be

and should be penciled in as starters in their positions right now no matter when Manning decides to come back. Let the man play nickel and be a return man, I don’t want to see either of them move from where they are because they are beginning to gel nicely.

Since we're likely on a plane to Denver today.

Have any of you really, really noticed what’s goin on in Bronco-land?

Let’s re-cap:
1. They fired Shanahan (one of the best) and hired young egomaniac Josh McDaniels.
2. McDaniels manages to create a rift with a 26 year old Pro Bowl QB, and ultimately has to trade him away to resolve the situation.
3. Their Pro Bowl WR (a guy who’s remarkably caught over 100 passes in each of the last two seasons), is refusing to practice and when he does, he makes a complete mockery of his head coach as seen in this video here.
4. their #1 draft pick, RB Knowshon Moreno, has a sprained MCL in his left knee. Not a good way to start.

I’d say things aren’t going to well for Josh McDaniels.

I second that.

What a chump, I mean champ Marshall is. He pouts better than my 6 year old.

If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.

My God…..talk about a hissy fit. Unbelievable.

That video is hilarious...

I wonder what is going through the ball boy’s head? The guy probably has to put up with a lot of bull and stupid tasks as it is, and then some jerk makes him run 30 yards to go pick up a football for no reason other than he’s throwing a fit at the coach? What do you say when Brandon Marshall does that to you?

“Uh, thanks Brandon, I needed to get a little jogging in anyway!”
“Fine kick sir. Oh no, let me go get it for you.”
“What did you do that for, you a-hole?”

D. Manning

I enjoyed the article about him and his hammie problem. I had a hammie pull/partial tear in flag-football a few weeks ago, and had no idea how to prevent it from happening again. I tried curls, swiss-ball exercises, stretching, jogging a mile before the game, etc. etc. I realized everyone’s hamstring is under developed and prone to injury, but hadn’t thought of working your gluts more.
