"Not the Denver Broncos!?" -Homer Simpson

My beloved Denver Broncos were on a great run recently. No, not wins or division titles but a great off-season run. One that has continually shocked but nonetheless pleased most fans.

However, in the course of that off-season activity, they've brought on a young, first time head coach in Josh McDaniels. Generally speaking; I'm all for this decision. Shanahan did a great job and is probably one of the best coaches ever, but it was time to move on. The Broncos needed a fresh start.

Apparently we're getting a big one now. The team's star quarterback, 3rd year player Jay Cutler, probably the best draft pick since I can remember, is now distraught through an apparent attempt to trade him and get Matt Cassell from the Patriots, McDaniels' old team. Even though it didn't happen, Cutler is pissed and has asked to be traded.



Regardless of the situation, the powers that be (in this case Broncos Owner Pat Bowlen and staff) need to do something about this. What happened to the days when a coach or owner would be willing to show up at a players doorstep to "make something happen"?

And there's one thing I must say, Jay Cutler needs to stop being such an immature baby. He didn't already figure out that every player is expendable until there are rings on fingers in the NFL? You've got your contract buddy, now get to work. You're getting paid millions of dollars to play pro football for the Denver Broncos who are #3 on the list of most Super Bowl appearances at 6. This isn't a post college job that you leave for another firm because you don't like your boss.
