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:

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...

      I don’t watch college football anymore (used to be Stanford STH but meh), but my wife is Hawaiian and her favorite color is purple, so I guess I knew Tet was my new favorite player to root for when he came out in a purple suit and lei and threw up the Shaka.
