Grossman? Losman? Garcia? LOL. Fuck em all. Yeah, let's just waste the greatest talent we've had on our roster since Barry and let CJ bolt after his contract expires. Get the kid a real QB.
I think they should seriously make a strong play for Gay Cuddler. He isn't happy in Denver and is only going to cause more headaches for them. Give up the #1 for him.
I'd love that but Denver isn't dumb enough to trade a franchise QB for a complete unknown like Stafford. They'd fire McDaniels to appease Cutler before they'd get rid of him.
No way. Trade #20 and some combination of picks after that, maybe with Culpepper since Denver's going to need a game-ready QB of some kind. Pick a lineman with #1. Cutler + Jason Smith goes a long way towards improving that offense right away.
QB: Cutler HB: Smith FB: who cares WR: Calvin WR: Bryant TE: LJ Smith? LT: Smith LG: Backus C: Raiola RG: Ramirez RT: Cherilus Tell me that offense, as long as the defense improves a little bit, couldn't get at least 7 wins. The middle of the line might need some improvement as well, but there's guys out there.
LOL, Culpepper as a substitute for Cutler. Nice. Ok, I'll play along. Getting Cutler would be a dream come true. Having a legit QB for the first time in my lifetime would be like losing my virginity all over again. Cuter + CJ + Kevin Smith could do some real damage as long as we get a LG, replace Backus, and find a new center this year or next year.
Not as the franchise QB, of course. In this scenario Denver would get #20, one of Detroit's 3rd rounders (maybe both), and Culpepper. They would probably use one of their 5 1st/2nd/3rd round picks to take a QB, one would think. Culpepper is decent enough to keep the seat warm for the next guy.
Freeman is probably the next best QB in the draft behind Stafford. I just can't envision them giving up a sure thing in Cutler to gamble on an unproven rookie to take over. Pro Bowl QBs are very hard to find. The Broncos won't be giving Cutler away anytime soon.
