Broncos: Cutler to start week 13
The News
The Broncos are benching Jake Plummer, but the move won't come until after their upcoming game. NFL.com's Adam Schefter reported that rookie Jay Cutler will likely start when the Broncos host the Seahawks on December 3. Plummer will start this Thursday against the Chiefs.
Our View
Will Mike Shanahan trust Cutler any more than he has Plummer? That's tough to predict, but it may be worth a gamble. The Broncos finish the season against the Cardinals, Bengals and 49ers, three bottom-tier pass defenses. We usually don't recommend betting on rookie quarterbacks, but Cutler is worth a look in deeper leagues and if your current backup passer is a dud.

If Cutler plays the way he did in pre-season he is going to be something to watch.
And probably to some degree a little painful for Bills fans.

Originally posted by BuffaloFeverI don't think this move makes sense. Cutler is a rookie, they should let him learn from a veteran for a year.. If they bench Plummer, WHILE in the playoff hunt, Cutler better come through, or Shanahan is going to look really stupid.

Re: plummer done?
Funny...isn't Plummer's winning percentage in Denver like .750? I thought I saw a stat during last weeks' game that indicated he won three out every four games so far as a Bronco.YardRat Wall of Fame

He will be a big free agent prize this off-season most likely.

Re: plummer done?
Originally posted by BlingYou're joking, right? If Cutler performs like he did, there's no question it's time for him to go. Losman is already getting shown up by Tony Romo and Phil Rivers (neither needed "1 season, 2 seasons, 36 games, etc."), and now he's going to be shown up by a rookie?

Originally posted by The_PhilsterNo, I'm not joking...a QB's success is just as dependent on his surroundings as it is his own talent
You had McGahee who at one time led the league in rushing (yet you guys have the worst O-Line in the league). But Denver and Dallas both have 500 more yards rushing when you combine all their running backs and yours.
He makes his destiny. That's just my opinion. There's no reason why he can't be competing with other QB's. Instead he's with Mike Vick and Jake Plummer at the bottom of the league.
