NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Jay Cutler the bodybuilder
Somehow in Denver it all gets back to John Elway. If you are the quarterback, then sooner or later the fans will think of John Elway and you will not look so good anymore.
It is not an easy thing to be compared to a Hall a Fame quarterback that brought honor and glory to the Denver Broncos. The orange clad fan can bring a cruel reality to anyone playing the quarterback position for the Broncos.
Jay Cutler the quarterback
Jay Cutler will start for the Broncos this Sunday against Seattle and the time to win is now. This time it is not the fans, but Dan Reeves doing the comparing to John Elway and guess what, Dan thinks Jay does look like John Elway!
Of course, his teammates tease him with posters of Jay Cutler the bodybuilder.
If Jay Cutler is even half the quarterback that Elway was, then the Broncos stand a good chance of not only making the playoffs, but going deep into the playoffs.
The handwriting was on the wall. Jay had a great spring exhibition season and Jake Plummer is, well, Jake Plummer. Somehow you knew his time would come this season.
Your intrepid author is a big time Lions fan. During the draft, the Lions picked before Arizona and Denver, Arizona took Leinart, Denver took Cutler. The Lions could have had either one of them, but they picked Ernie Sims instead. Now no knock on Sims. He is a fine linebacker, but how do you plan on building a team without a quarterback?
Denver plans to keep its team success going with Jay Cutler the quarterback.
My quess is that Matt Millen could not tell that either quarterback was going to be good. He was burned by the promise of Joey Harrington and would not take a chance. Probably Rod Marinelli wanted to improve the defense, so we live with Jon Kitna at quarterback. He is 35. You do not build a team for the future with a 35 year old quarterback.
Enough of the Squibster’s rant on the Lions.
This Sunday belongs to Jay Cutler. Will it be easy? No. Denver has struggled to run this year making the quarterbacks job way more difficult.
Mike Shanahan, the coach, is known for offense, but has spent the last two years bringing back the defense.

I watched *most* of the game (wasn’t all that great, boring most of the time — might be because I dislike both teams)… But I have to say, for a rookie, he’s doing damn good. Maybe not as good as Leinhart, but good none the less.
Too bad they lost by that FG.
Great kick though.
Is it just me thought, but are most of the Seahawks players other then Grant Winstrom bald or balding?
Surtin, you are too funny.
Leinart and Cutler are for real. My Lions were dumb to pass on both of them.
Hopefully Cutler survives the Elway comparisons.
Don’t know about the bald thing. Maybe BaldMan will chime in and help me here.
by the way, Surtin, your blog blog.surtin.com is also too funny!
