Jay Cutler to start?

so you're saying cutler would have brought them to the superbowl if he was the starter?

i'm saying we certainly wouldn't have been any worse and we absolutely could've been much, much better.

guys keep in mind that plummer is the one who singlehandedly wooped the 3 time superbowl champs, and sent them home early, as well as this year.

also bearsfan let's not start this arguement again where "leinart had nothing to do with almost beating the bears, they were simple throws crap..."

nonononono, champ bailey beat the pats.

joke plummer's 18/30 223 1/2 day certainly did not.

I don't think most of you realize just how bad the Broncos offense has been. They have only scored 13 points per game. For some perspective, the Bears last year scored 16 ppg. Only the Raiders have a worse offense than the Broncos. And this has to mbe ostly on Plummer. They are running the ball effectively and Walker is playing like a top WR. Plummer is just making terrible decisions and is inaccurate. Jake is just not a pocket passer, and you can't roll out every single play. The Broncos offense needs to step it up if they want to win the Superbowl. They can't expect their defense to shut down the opponent every single game, especially not with Plummer turning the ball over. Plummer either needs to get his act together or Cutler needs to come in. I have no doubts that Cutler could do better than Plummer at this point as well as provide a spark for a struggling offense.

984 total passing yards
52.1 completion percentage
5.8 ypa
4 TDs
7 INT
60.4 QB rating

That won't cut it. Plummer is far worse than Warner or Bledsoe. He might just be the worst qb in football right now.

Don't have to. Look at the stats.

If plummer loses to both pittsburgh and Indy, cutler will be in.

I don't think that'll happen.

:D I agree, especially if the offense continues to struggle and Jake keeps turning the ball over. Then it will be Cutler time 8)

THat's very well possible. It's sad tho that our team has to lose a string of games for Shannahan to put in the better QB. A lot of people don't think that rookie QBs can succeed in their first year, but keep in mind that Big Ben was incredibly great his rookie yr due to a strong running game, WR corps, and defense (kinda like the current Broncos eh?)...

Furthermore, despite his amazing physical ability, it's been mentioned numerous times in the preseason, but Cutler's poise in the pocket is not like a rookie. It's amazing. Cutler on the field means we'll score at least 10 more pts per game than Plummer leading the offense.

its not even that i think cutler is more talented...i just think he will actually throw good passes..as his arm is great...plumer not so much

[PalmerToCJ]

I agree with the "it couldn't get that much worse" thought.

[Shiver]

Unlike other QBs raise their level of play when competition heats up, Plummer has folded under it.
