The Denver Broncos blew it: Jay Cutler is out

We reported earlier that:

Pro-Bowl quarterback Jay Cutler (upper picture) wants to break up.

Owner Pat Bowlen (center picture) wants to make up.

Rookie head coach Josh McDaniels (lower picture) wants to throw up.

The only change now is:

Pro-Bowl quarterback Jay Cutler still wants to break up.

Rookie head coach Josh McDaniels wants to make up.

Owner Pat Bowlen wants to throw up.

New coach Josh McDaniels tried to bring quarterback Matt Cassel to Denver. You don’t bring in a quarterback the caliber of Cassel just to be a backup.

It didn’t work out anyway - Cassel went to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Cutler wanted out - for two reasons.

First: a complete lack of confidence by head coach McDaniels - wanting to bring in a “starting caliber” quarterback proved that.

Second: The Broncos failed to renegotiate Cutler’s contract to match his performance. He was still being paid based on a rookie player from Vanderbilt. Nothing against Vanderbilt University but
quarterbacks out of that football program don’t get top dollar contracts when the enter the NFL.

Should the fault for Cutler’s departure fall directly on the shoulders of rookie head coach Josh McDaniels or is owner Pat Bowlen to blame for hiring a young untried coach.

Pat Bowlen surly must have buyers remorse after the McDaniels hire.

The loss of one of the best young quarterbacks to come along in a long time may haunt Bowlen forever.
