He's staying with the 49ers.

My point was he was a first round pick and has been earning a lot of money for doing nothing and just because he was a number 1 pick

For the amount of money hes pocketed and the fact hes still there i think the 49ers are thinking on the same lines but surely he should be the permanent starter by now

There is apparantly talk of a 3 way trade for Cutler.

Cutler -> Detroit
Matt Leinart/Brady Quinn -> Denver
Picks -> Arizona/Cleveland

The logical choice for the Broncos would be Quinn as he has played in the style of offence McDaniels uses when he played under Charlie Weiss at Notre Dame.

If thats the case id do everything i could to keep cutler hes far far better than any of them two

Either is a bad trade really. They will be getting an inferior QB and he is still in the AFC.


Dark horses are Houston and Buffalo Imo. Tampa/Detroit are most likely though being in the NFC.

McIdiot has managed to single handedly set his franchise back about 5 years.

Denver have been going nowhere since Elway retired so McDaniels can't have set them back too far.

Maybe they can tempt Favre out of retirement

Maybe so but Cutler is a great player. He's knocking on the door of the elite players (Manning's, Brady, Big Ben). You never trade, or even entertain trades for you franchise QB. They are such an irreplacable quantity.

They now have to find a QB and build him up to a pro-bowl standard. That is 3-5 years.
