Maybe bringing in Shanahan and Cutler wouldn't be a bad thing...

Jim Kelly is a HOF'er. His stats aren't much different than Cutler...

I was very surprised. At first I thought no way. Not crazy bout his demeanor, but he had two of his better years with Shanahan.

Comparing any QBs stats from the 1980's or even the 1990s to the modern day falls flat. Jim's best statistical season ever (1991) barely cracks the Top 5 in any categories today

Bringing in just one of them would be horrible, doubling down on both I don't think I could stomach.

If the defense performs the same way next year with Shanahan on the sideline and Cutler on the field, the Bills make the playoffs.

LOL...plug in Chan Gailey and Ryan Fitzpatrick and you could contend the same thing.

Except that Shannahan has 2 SB and Cutler has the arm to play in Buffalo. He was a top QB with Shannahan.

We couldn't be lucky enough to get cutler.

We will be stuck with EJ, and if that happens it will be another .500 season at best.

Re: Maybe bringing in Shanahan and Cutler wouldn't be a bad thing...

If I was compiling a list of coaches and QBs I'd dream of having, Shanny and Cutler would never be on that list.

However, when I compare them to having Marrone and EJ/Orton, well HELL YES I'd take them.

Elway or not, Shanny has two rings as a head coach, and Cutler, albeit a dick, has more talent than any QB we've had since Kelly.

When you look at what's available out there, the pickin's are slim.

its been so long since ive been laid i was looking at a street lady the other day and thought with a good scrubbing and a couple flea dips i just might

Re: Maybe bringing in Shanahan and Cutler wouldn't be a bad thing...

I like how Bledsoe, I mean Cutler, is somehow our answer on offense.

Re: Maybe bringing in Shanahan and Cutler wouldn't be a bad thing...

I'd take Cutler @ 5 million a year without having to compensate the Bears with players or picks. Shanahan is an arrogant ******* who I would want no part of.

Re: Maybe bringing in Shanahan and Cutler wouldn't be a bad thing...

Feelings about Shanahan and Cutler aside, this one's pretty simple. You either think we can make the playoffs with one of these coordinators and some unknown solution at QB (could be EJ), or you don't. If you don't, then you open up to the idea of a proven HC taking a QB he hand picked and combining them with a top notch D for what could be a deeper run into the playoffs. With Cutler, its a two year gamble. I'm on the fence... I completely get the arguments both ways. If we didn't have an elite D that was in its peak window, I wouldn't even consider it. But we do. I'd hate to take three years to get the O fixed only to find the window closed on the D. That would be a continuation of the cycle we've been in for over 10 years. Shanny/Cutler is the biggest "all in" option out there. Hard to dismiss it outright.
