Will someone please give Jay Cutler his pacifier, hand him his favorite blankie and put him back in his crib for his afternoon nap? Because if he cries anymore about a trade that didn't happen, we'll have to check his Pampers.
Cutler is the quarterback of the Denver Broncos. At least for now he is.
Turns out the Broncos are/were shopping him. The three-way trade between the Broncos, New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn't reach critical mass, but names (Cutler to the Bucs, Matt Cassel to the Broncos) and numbers (first- and fourth-round draft picks to the Patriots) were discussed.

With Rear Coach Joshua McDaniels Ego and Cry Baby Cutlers ego it is not likely the two will survive beyond the 2009 season. McDaniels needs a great QB and Cutler needs a team. They need to work this out and STOP POUTING! I'm not sure which is the biggest cry baby. The Broncos are in for a very ruff ride with a REAR coach that is so unexperienced and inmmature.
Broncos coach at odds with QB Jay Cutler
Player's agent says trade talk a vote of no confidence

ENGLEWOOD -- Trade talks involving Jay Cutler have strained the relationship between the Denver Broncos' franchise quarterback and new coach Josh McDaniels.
Cutler's agent, Bus Cook, said his client had every right to be upset with the Broncos for even entertaining an offer for the Pro Bowl quarterback.
"Because that's a vote of no confidence in the guy," Cook told The Associated Press on Sunday. "I don't care if you're talking about trading him for Matt Cassel, Matt Ryan or Tom Brady. That's a vote of no confidence in him, and that's how Jay sees it and I would, too.

Bronco fans can hope all they want for a great season but the hand writing is on the the locker room wall, 6 and 10. If McDaniels and Cutler keep throwing sand at each other this season will be worse than 6 and 10. Rear coach McDaniels is so green when it comes to handling players with baby egos. He and Cutler are the talk of the league. Both are loosing respect.
Carving up this offense is crazy

It's beginning to look like Josh McDaniels thinks even less of Mike Shanahan's personnel judgment than the rest of us did...
Given that both McDaniels and Xanders are rookies in their current jobs, it's just possible they are actually naive enough to believe you can entertain offers for your franchise quarterback, particularly an offer that would bring you the quarterback you coached last year, and not make any waves in your own organization...
Frankly, I'm trying to figure out why you'd even take calls about Cutler unless the guy on the other end of the line was mentioning Philip Rivers, Peyton Manning or, possibly, Matt Ryan.
Cutler's age, arm strength and intelligence make him a terrific NFL asset. At the risk of bringing John Elway into this, let's look just at their third-year numbers as a cautionary tale, knowing how things turned out for Elway:
Cutler completed 62 percent of his passes for 4,526 yards, 25 touchdowns and 18 interceptions. Elway completed 54 percent of his passes for 3,891 yards, 22 touchdowns and 23 interceptions.
And Now Let's Trade Cutler...

Who should be surprised at this bonehead fumble? Way to go McDaniels / Xanders! On the other hand Cutler here's a hankie go spout off in the corner!
Anyone with half of a brain should have seen this one coming. Cutler and McDaniels are like soft soap and sandpaper. Both were stumbling all over their precious egos the first 10 days after McDaniels was named rear coach.
McDaniels / Xanders get a D- for fumbling on the goal line!
Cutler gets a C- for crying, I'm on the trading block...
McDaniels / Xanders get a D- for acquiring Brian Dawkins!
Xanders gets D- for failing to complete an agreement in principle on JJ Arrington... A rookie mistake!
Our season is starting out just about as I expected. We will be lucky to end 6 - 10 in 2009. We will be fortunate to have a team...
