My arm is stronger than John Elway's and Brett Favre's

I'll be honest, of the league's newer quarterbacks, Cutler is one I wouldn't mind having (Matt Ryan has made a strong case for himself, also).

I told one of my buddies how much I respected Cutler's style of play, and he thought I was crazy. I root for Cutler about every game he plays; except for tomorrow, of course. Tomorrow, I wouldn't mind seeing Peppers pound Cutler into the ground a couple of times. Of course, Denver has a pretty good offensive line, so I don't know if I'll get to see that.

Yes, Smitty has had his problems, but the difference between this and that is that Smith isnt out in the media saying that he has better hands than Jerry Rice.

wow...it's like you didn't read my post at all...

Cutler NEVER said he was BETTER than Elway either...

a better analogy would be saying if someone asked Steve smith if he is FASTER than Jerry Rice and he replied with, "yes I'm faster than Rice, I don't think anyone in the league can run faster than me"...

and i could easliy see Smith or many other good players saying something like that...and there's nothing wrong with that...

what the heck is all the Cutler hate about on this board?...

is it because of that bronco4life troll's posts that yall keep inexplicably keep responding to?...

Cutler is a confident (and even cocky) young fellow this is true...but is that reason to hate on him the way some of you guys are doing?...

The guy is a warrior...he played with an undiagnosed and untreated type-1 diabetes all last year and took a pounding...he took a pounding in college too...he's never complained once about his teammates or lack of protection...he continued to fight and support his teammates...

statistically he's off to one of the best starts ever for a young QB, and all he did was answer a question about his arm strength and now people want to say he's dissing Elway?...He NEVER claimed to be better, but only that he felt he had the strongest arm...so let's cut the guy some slack sheez!...

Sure he'll throw ints but he also makes plays...the guy is a competitor...

i would think that with some of the stunts Steve Smith pulled, that the Panther crowd would be a little more forgiving on a guy that is tough as nails and only wants to win...

It's just an internet MB thread. Don't sweat it. You have to admit that Cutler's remark about arm strength leaves him wide open to this. Let's be honest, Elway is a Denver icon. He won the two Super Bowls that had eluded your franchise. Elway is a Hall of Fame player and the best athlete to ever wear a Bronco's jersey. He also had one of the best arms the NFL has ever seen. Cutler should have chuckled and moved on to prove it on the field. He didn't. If his arm is that good, he can take some jabs from some fans on a message board.

The entire conversation was taken out of context, it was completely tongue in cheek. Then the media gets a hold of it and we all know what happens then. During last week's press conference some guy asked Cutler if he thought he had a stronger arm than Thigpen. It's not to be taken seriously!

Cutler has a very good arm but he needs to work on picking his battles. With him every single play should be a big one, he can't stand giving up. Carolina could take advantage of that. And Peppers is scary good. As a Bronco fan I hope it's we contain that beast, along with Smash and Dash (or whatever they are called now). Here's to a good game!

I had no problem with what Cutler said. But then this DenverTroll ass wanted to defend it. That's when it got good.

As long as Denver fans are cool (or any team fans) Got no problem with them. :cheers2: to a good and injury free game!

true...good points...

but if Bronco fans are over it, than other fans should clearly be over it because nobody loves a QB more than a Bronco fan loves Elway...lol

could Cutler have handled it better?..no doubt...but personally i like his confidence...we need that kinda swagger on our team IMO...

Well I dont even think that would be an argument.....Smitty is definitely faster than Jerry Rice:hurray:

I think I'd prefer a player from my team saying something like that than getting in a fight with teammates. Also, was there a penalty/fine for Pepper's late hit?

Im definitely over it. I actually like the guy. He is a good QB, and I like a guy who has a little swagger to him.

if you look at elways carreer stats and cutlers current stats, there's evidence to back up that talk. Player's are allowed to be a little cockey if theyve got the consistant figures to back it up. Unlike, say, a Terrell Owens.

The kid's got skill, let him be happy with it. And smile when he gets smacked around like a rag doll on sunday.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.

      There's a reason DC wasn't getting calls to be a HC. He wasn't ready. His indecisiveness is infuriating. His lack of awareness is mystifying. He jumped at the chance to grab the David Tepper retirement plan and who can really blame him. Maybe with time he can grow into the job. But we're on year 8 of our 7 year rebuild. I think I'm gonna need a hip replacement before we get a decent HC.
