Denver QBs and the bottle

What is it about Denver that seems to make their QBs hit the sauce?

Brian Griese became quasi-infamous for injuring himself by falling over his dog in a drunken stupor. Now comes this story from PFT about current QB (and malcontent) Jay Cutler.

Cutler report gets expunged

The omitted language is newsworthy only because Anderson posted it, and then without explanation removed it. In reprinting the language, we are not suggesting that the assertions Anderson made are accurate. (In fact, Anderson added a disclaimer to that effect in her original story, explaining that ”[t]he following is what was heard by my source in these trade whispers, not what FOX31 cites as definite facts about Cutler.” Presumably, someone with a law degree concluded that this CYA-style language didn’t “C” enough of FOX31’s “A”.)

Here’s the text that has since been erased:

“The source said there are concerns about Cutler’s consumption of alcohol, and ‘that he’s not that sharp.’

“‘That scared the crap out of McDaniels,’ the source said.”

Frankly, we’ve developed a fairly strong opinion that Cutler is “not that sharp,” especially if reports are true that he asked to be traded before the team tried to trade him, which reportedly offended him even though he had reportedly asked to be traded.

Though we know nothing about whether and to what extent Cutler consumes alcohol, any consumption of alcohol by a Type 1 diabetes patient entails potential health risks. So if that portion of the expunged report is accurate, it would bolster our conclusion that he’s “not that sharp.” (Again, we aren’t reporting that he consumes any amount of alcohol — we’re only pointing out that someone else reported it with a disclaimer as to its accuracy, and then erased the report.)

With all the losing at Vandy, plus having to deal with Marshall and the RB wheel of misfortune, topped off with one of the greatest gacks in the regular season .... could you blame the guy for hittin the sauce?

I'm not sure there is a single person on here that could logistically criticize his drinking habits and be politically correct in that...

For the record, I post this here because I don't consider Cutler a legit possibility for the Panthers. Never did, honestly, but with increased talk of a Delhomme extension, I think it's a moot point to even discuss him in connection with the Panthers. Hence "NFL Central".

Bit more on him from a couple of sources...

Per a 49er page, looks like Pat Bowlen may well nix any and all trade talk: Niner Insider

Also this bit from Yahoo Sports via KFFL:

Vikings | First to inquire about Culter

Charles Robinson, of Yahoo! Sports, reports the Minnesota Vikings were the first team to inquire about Denver Broncos QB Jay Cutler but the talks broke down early because some elements of the Vikings coaching staff were not totally sold on Cutler.

So "some elements" of the Viking staff would rather go with Travaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels than Cutler? Could be the system I suppose. Still, Ouch.

IF that is true, and who knows from the nebulous nature of that piece...it certainly wouldn't show great judgment on his part since he is diabetic and that is not a good thing to overindulge in if you are diabetic.

I agree that it would not be smart, I just don't agree that we should be so critical with the amount of drunks and party people we have on here... :D

No, I don't :lol:

But while I grant the drinking would be a bit of a concern anyway if it were found to be at the level of say, Brian Griese, it's really not so much in this case about the drinking as it is about the drinking while being type I diabetic. Not a good sign :out:

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      By frankw · Posted

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
