if cutler comes in at some point this year, or when he comes in in the future, how will he affect offensive players? in particular, how will it affect the passing game?

Well for one, Plummer will throw a lot less interceptions...

I am sure you will get your fair share of "It can't make it any worse" type posts, but the bottom line is it can.Teams will stack the line against the run, blitz the heck out of him to confuse him and he will struggle like any other rooke QB has.The only plus I would see is that TE Sheffler's #s might go up (might show up is a better statement) in that Cutler seemed to key on him in the pre-season.Downgrade the entire Bronco's offense.I have said it before and I will say it again, he isn't going to play unless Jake gets hurt or the Broncos are out of the playoff hunt.Believe me I am hoping this guy is the next Elway and has 15 years of great Bronco highlights, but this guy is not ready right now.

It will ruin the Broncos passing game. A true rookie QB is not better than Jake Plummer. Jake isn't good but a true rookie would be much worse. The preseason does not equal the regular season.

Guess who set the following rookie records?Attempts - 575

Completions - 326

Yards - 3,379

TDs - 26

Most consecutive games with a TD - 13

Yes, Cutler could be a beter option than Jake Plummer.

Disclaimer - I don't own Cutler in any league, and I own Plummer in one.
