I really hope this Cutler stuff is just a smokescreen...

[OpIv37]

I leave the zone for 5 hours to work on a paper and go to the gym, and suddenly we're taking Cutler?

This would be the biggest waste of a pick ever. We desperately need OL and DL help, and any QB we get is going to look like **** behind our horrid OL. We used a first round pick on Losman and still haven't given him a shot. We have Craig Nall- if we draft a QB, what the **** was the point in signing him?

If Marv picks Young or Cutler, it means Marv is to QB's what Tom Donahoe was to WR's and "motor" defensive ends.

I agree with you... But we arent going to take Cutler. Marv's a ****ing roadscholar he's smarter than that.

Re: I really hope this Cutler stuff is just a smokescreen...

I think its likely a smokescreen to try and draw more value for a trade.

but I woudnt be totally shocked if he took Cutler either.. Nothing surprises me with this front office and its only been a few months..

Re: I really hope this Cutler stuff is just a smokescreen...

The only way Marv takes a QB is if he's already DECIDED JP cannot be a franchise QB.. If he's already decided that then all bets are off come April 29th at noon.

Nall was signed IMO to be a number two. Holcomb is short-term whether he starts or is 3rd string...

While we all beg for JP to get a real chance, why should Marv have to WASTE a year on him and then have to start over next year with a NEW qb?

Of course,I have no clue how Marv actually feels about JP, but I havent heard many ringing endorsements from him either..... IF and this is IF he doesnt think JP will be the answer, and we all know Holcomb isnt either (at least not long term) then why not take your shot with a potential franchise QB?

Just weird **** going around OBD right now..

I understand what your saying, but wait till next year to take a QB, IF J.P. doesnt pan out... Beacuse if J.P. doesnt play well this year.. Were going to be picking in the top 5 in next years draft... And we'll have a shot at someone like Brady Quinn who in my opinion is far superior to Cutler.

Help J.P. succed this year, by drafting a better supporting cast. We worry about when we need too, and right now we dont need to worry.

Re: I really hope this Cutler stuff is just a smokescreen...

Unless we're the worst team in the NFL, we aint getting Brady Quinn.


Then again, Marv is a bad draft away in a few days from being in the Brady Quinn hunt in a big way..

We can speculate about rumors and players forever.. At the end of the day, I"d be SHOCKED if 3 of our first 4 picks arent linemen.. Whether we trade down, up or stay at 8..

I don't speculate on speculation.

If they really don't like Losman and they have a chance to add a great(Roethisburger type) QB how is it a waste? The draft is full of Ol and Dl talent. I don't think you could call it the biggest waste ever.

Re: I really hope this Cutler stuff is just a smokescreen...

I do hope they take Huff though.

It's a waste because we already have 2 unknown QB's and Cutler would be a 3rd.

It's a waste because we're desperate for help in other positions and #8 is a good spot to get it.

It's a waste because even a great QB takes a year or two to develop, so we'd be waiting instead of getting someone that can contribute now (and if he doesn't develop, it's just a complete waste).

It's a waste because until we have an OL, any QB is going to look like ****.

We aren't going to be good this year regardless.

If Levy/ Jauron and Co. don't like Losman then might as well make the call now.

A. Don't like Losman based on what? He hasn't had a real shot in a decent offensive system with an OL.

B. What was the point of bringing Nall in then? You can't develop two QB's simultaneously and we already have Holcomb as a decent (and proven) stopgap solution.

C. do you not want to be good in 07 either? That's what drafting a QB now is going to get us.

Re: I really hope this Cutler stuff is just a smokescreen...

Craig Nall is going to be the starter.

Re: I really hope this Cutler stuff is just a smokescreen...

Craig Nall is going to be the starter.

Only if Jauron and Levy really want to be in the Brady Quinn sweepstakes next year.

We aren't taking a safety. Marv and DJ both want lines. They understand football and will take a lineman in the first round.
