Any problems with Cutler are magnified when you have to give up much and minimized if Cutler were free. Moreover, I think evaluating whether Frerotte and Cutler are good QBs is more subjective and complicated than you seem to believe, even though my personal opinion is Cutler is better than Frerotte, including in the Viking offense. I believe Cutler is an upgrade but I don't know that he is if you subtract Greenway and the first draft pick (say OT Eben Britton). I would prefer someone cheaper like Favre.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18324568.post-24213199815511538622009-03-30T12:16:00.000-05:002009-03-30T12:16:00.000-05:00If the rumor is true, that means the Vikings didn'...If the rumor is true, that means the Vikings didn't trade for Cutler because of problems with Cutler, not because of what they had to give up. Now, I didn't know about the rumors of his drinking issues, so if they weren't comfortable taking the risk because of that rather than skill, that might be excusable. But if its solely because they aren't sold on his ability, or on his lack of football smarts (no playoffs), then they should get fired. Gus Frerotte isn't a good quarterback because his team went 8-3 and Cutler isn't a bad quarterback because he hasn't been to the playoffs when his defense has been among the worst in the league every year.TBird41https://www.blogger.com/profile/12561900451394323315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18324568.post-76584857607510664732009-03-30T11:51:00.000-05:002009-03-30T11:51:00.000-05:00Moreover, I heard McDaniels wanted to trade Cutler...Moreover, I heard McDaniels wanted to trade Cutler because of his drinking (with diabetes) and lack of football smarts (he nver has led a team to the playoffs).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18324568.post-2371463261657083722009-03-30T11:48:00.000-05:002009-03-30T11:48:00.000-05:00I don't know how you can criticize Childress on th...I don't know how you can criticize Childress on the Cutler deal when you don't know what the Vikings were expected to give up. I hear Denver now wants our first, Rosenfels and most importantly Greenway. Cutler will go to the Jets leaving favre to come to the Vikes. Fullback is puzzling but they may get something in the draft.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
