What are your thoughts on Cutler's comments?

When Cutler heard the team was trying to trade him he didn't want to play for the Broncos anymore. He was hurt that the team/coaches didn't back him. Obviously he and his agent put up quite a stink and the Broncos put an end to it quickly.

On one hand I can understand. However, most players realize it is a business and realize they can be traded anytime. Virtually no player is untouchable. If his ego is that far out and he is that thin skinned it might not bode well for the Bears. It sure doesn't promote a tough "monsters of the midway" approach.

I tend to favor how the Broncos handled it over how the player and agent handled it.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

Ya I agree but when Jerry Jones came out and said ....

he "wouldn't trade Tony (Romo) for anybody."
Jones laughed off rumors that Romo isn't passionate about football and that he'd deal him for Jay Cutler. Jerry also said Romo and new No. 1 WR Roy Williams started training together three weeks before voluntary work began.
I think Cutler felt like if he should of been treated the same way like if he shouldn't of been traded for anybody.

I think Cutler is a big baby.
It's a BUSINESS! So the team tried to go after someone else. If Cutler thouht he was all that, he should have said "Bring him in, and i'll prove i'm better then him".
That would have cemented his job.
But now he gets to play with the lowly Bears.....lucky Cutler!!!

You know what is really funny? Last year during the circus i recall alot of posters saying that we can't take back Brett and give him the starting job because it will hurt us signing Rodgers for the long term. Really seems like alot of you people made him sound like he would be crying and want out, but now hes the next best thing since sliced bread. So please tell me what would have been the difference?

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Cutler, 25. Favre, was what, 38? and he RETIRED!

Ya ever think about that one?

Going into the off season Rodgers said he felt strongly that Brett was coming back and he'd be riding pine for at least one more year. He was fine with that. Then Brett retired, the Packers told him that he was THE GUY.

What kind of stability is there if your team tells you that you're the guy and then says no? Yes, it would have been a pisser, but it is a business and considering how well Aaron handled it during the off season I am bewildered that even you would question it.

edit, Rodgers and Brett said they'd be fine with an open competition.

I don't think Brett was fine with a qb competition.

Greta: "What about competing for starting quarterback?"

Favre: "Why?"

I mean, he didn't say no, but he said "Why" as if to say, "why should I have to compete for my job?"

There's a post here that has his quotes on this. He said that to Greta and then he told I believe either King or Mortensen that he would be fine with it. It was one of the things I cited stating he flip flopped.

"Mike told me, hey, we're a better team with you on it but wanted to know if I have a problem with an open competition, I don't have a problem with competing -- you know that, but Aaron should be the starter right now because he's been out here all this time." ... "I'll practice my butt off, if it comes to that, and I think we all know what the end result will be, but this probably isn't going to work."

Zero2Cool (7h) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?

packerfanoutwest (21h) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2

Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break

wpr (15-Nov) : wow. That three different things for the kid.
