Theres a surprise. A rookie QB not picking up the WC offense after 3 months?
If the writer of that article thought Culter would be a challenge to Plummer this year, well...

The writer might not think Cutler could challenge Plummer this year, but many around here do. It is the typical thing after the draft for MANY to overvalue the rookie QBs/WRs.I only posted this for the ones that are/were considering taking Cutler in a redraft. The veterans have been through this each year for many years.

Oh stop it already.
Did anyone think he'd press Plummer for the #1 job this year?

Many must have, his ADP is QB27 ahead of many NFL starters like Frye, Brad Johnson, and Vloek, among others. He gained 51 spots in the ADP up to 161 overall: http://www.footballguys.com/06dodds_adp.phpIn addition, Plummer has slid 3 spots, and is at QB 13.

No. But I do feel he's a legitimate replacemate 2-3 years down the line.

Not in any way, shape or form.
Oh I think so too, FM. But not this year. I don't know anyone who thought Plummer was threatened by Cutler for this year.J

Cutler hasn't looked that bad. This is a complex system, and it will take some time. Shanahan's exact quote from draft day is that he brought in JC to "push and compete with Plummer." We all know that JC's day will come (in '07). Can't wait for training camp!

Depends on what happens this year. Plummer plays like last year, and Culter's year might be '08(or '09).Cutler hasn't looked that bad. This is a complex system, and it will take some time.

Not very high on Plummer personally. We shall see what happens but there's no way they make him wait past '07, at the very latest.Depends on what happens this year.

Funny, if you listened to those toolboxes on NFL Live today, they made it sound like Plummer was on the hot seat. Jerkys.

Possibly.But do you think, if Culter had performed extremely well, that the writer would say, "but he still does not look as if he will challenge Plummer for the starting QB job?"

I was here, for parts of it, and have no clue what you are talking about. I can't recall anyone saying Cutler would put Plummer on the bench at all. At best, a few might have said if Plummer was having an awful year, Cutler could get some snaps, but I sure don't remember any of what you are talking about.

Cutler won't put Plummer on the bench, Plummer will

Broncos | Van Pelt impressing Shanahan
Thu, 6 Jul 2006 19:46:31 -0700
Kyle Sonneman, of DenverBroncos.com, reports Denver Broncos QB Bradlee Van Pelt has been having a very good offseason and is having some of his best practices of his career according to head coach Mike Shanahan, "He's been throwing very well. In fact, today is one of the best days he's had since he's been here." Van Pelt has been number two on the depth chart since the beginning of last season but is proving to be a worthy challenger to starting QB Jake Plummer.

The "writer" may be Sal Pal. Note KFFL is quoting ESPN. THere may have been a written story, but I saw a piece on NFL Live yesterday that may have been the source. Sal P.'s source on how bad Cutler is adjusting was withinthe Broncos -- a coach, I think....but don't quote me -- I was trying to watch the Lieberman-Lamont debate at the same time.
Here is a piece to mix it up. If I were a Cutler owner I would not worry about ANY of these reports in July. Just sit back and wait to 2007.
Broncos | Cutler receives praise from Shanahan
Fri, 7 Jul 2006 05:44:29 -0700
Adrian Dater, of the Denver Post, reports Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan was impressed by rookie QB Jay Cutler at the first day of team workouts. "He's very talented," said Shanahan. "There's a learning curve at the quarterback position, but we'll let the process take care of itself with him."

If the Broncos began to struggle because of Plummer, I could see them making a late season switch when they are out of the playoff race.Of course, I suspect them to grab at least a six seed, and I don't see much competition from SD/OAK this year.

I figured Cutler would follow the Rivers model and start in his third year, seeing spot duty in his second. I do think he will be a great QB for the long haul. He was phenomenal in college, and showed great discipline and loyalty as well. He has excellent vision and his arm is strong enough. He reads defenses great and is obviously used to performing under less than ideal cirumstances. Considering what he was able to accomplish at Vandy against the toughest defenses in the NCAA and without any help anywhere on his team, it's scary to think what he will be able to do behind one of the best O-lines in football and throwing to Walker, Watts, and baby TO.

Cutler is next to worthless in redraft leagues because he figures to be the #3 QB on a team that has serious playoff and Super Bowl aspirations. I can't imagine him starting absent an injury disaster at QB for the Broncos.
In an inaugural dynasty league, however, he may be more valuable than QB32 just because of how kind the system he's in is to QB's.

Yup. Most of the Denver Sports Columnists are operating under the assumption that Cutler will be starting by week 12 at the latest. Of course, most of the Denver Sports Columnists (Jeff Legwold and Bill Williamson) are nothing more than rumormongers and gossip columnists writing about their poorly formed opinions. See: Paige, Woody.

It's part of what makes the draft fun to watch. Alot of April/May unfulfilled promise.

Broncos | Cutler struggled during last camp
Published Sat Jul 8 1:18:00 a.m. ET 2006
(KFFL) Andrew Mason, of DenverBroncos.com, reports Denver Broncos QB Jay Cutler struggled during the first day of the team's last camp. Cutler said, "I couldn't call the plays the very first day of the last camp; I didn't have a clue what was going on; I got the playbook the day before." During this minicamp, Cutler feels more confident and he added, "I think going into the seven-on-seven and the team periods, I was a little uneasy about the snap count, getting the snap and what was going on, but at this camp, I feel a lot more confident under center." Head coach Mike Shanahan said, "He's done a good job (but) there's a big learning curve."
