THE PESSIMIST hit the nail on the head. Jay Cutler is a top 5-7 quarterback in the league and of that top 7, he is the youngest. If Jay is officially put on the market, the Buccaneers have to do whatever they can to get him. 1st round picks are guaranteed. Yes, Cutler isn’t guaranteed to be a superstar here either-but at least he’s proven in the NFL.

The more Cutler is a distraction to the Broncos. The less it will take a team to get him. McDaniels doesn’t want any more trouble than he already has. The media will start to wear on him.
I am sure thats what Bus Cook is counting on. Every coach/owner wants to be a hardass when it comes to these situations. The more Cutler holds out. The better the chance the Broncos pull the trigger and trade him. Or maybe they restrucure his contract and pay him more. Either way Bus Cook makes more money.

Justin – Cutler as one of the BEST in Bucs history? Wow and he hasn’t even taken a snap. I thought you were one who didn’t put so much faith in POTENTIAL.

I wouldn’t be upset if Jay comes but I’m more of a realist on the whole issue. We’ve got nothing to offer Denver

Plus this whole cry-baby thing with Cutler just rubs me the wrong way.

But if Kansas City can get Cassell for a 2nd round pick why not try and get Cutler for our 1st and 3rd and have Denver give us their 2nd round pick?

Throw in Griese and I’m jumping for joy!

Long story short – it ain’t likely to happen

I’m not sure if I’ve ever agreed with THE PESSIMIST, but I couldn’t agree any more with him on his thoughts regarding Cutler. I literally laugh at people who would rather go with Luke McCown. Cutler lead the number 2 ranked offense last year in just his 2nd season. He’s a stud and would immediately be one of the best quarterbacks in Buccaneers history, and the best Buccaneer quarterback since Doug Williams.

How about the Bucs trade Derrick Brooks, Cato June, Joey Galloway and Warrick Dunn. Oh thats right they were just cut.

Mr. Lucky,

The discussion is whether we want Cutler; not whether we can get him. Two separate issues.

I would for once just like to have some real offense. You freaks think the D is only a handful of players away from being on top again but you forget, Monte is gone and so is the Tampa 2. So I think that if we have Cutler we are only 1 maybe 2 players away from a stellar top 10(if I dare) offense. Either way the D is getting rebuilt for Other than Tampa 2. Make it happen. Then pick up Holt maybe even venture to see if Matt Jones has learned his lesson and is salvageable. Ike Hilliard could shore up a #3 or #4 slot and will work cheap. Hell, Jereviscious is available. I only expect a modest defense until Bates gets more of the players he wants. That will take a year or 2 anyway. Jay Cutler could be contracted up as you present and future QB, 10 yrs or so. Just Do It!

Give away Clifton Smith, Gaines Adams and a 2nd round pick next year. Let’s play some offense

So for all you Jay Cutler fans what do the Bucs have that the Bronco’s want?

How about this trade:

Jay Cutler for:

Jeremy Stevens, Alex Smith, Bob Griese and a 3rd round pick?

In you dreams….

Denver want’s a QB and not picks/players

What are the Bucs going to give Denver for Cutler? Come on now don’t be shy.

IF and that’s a BIG IF…the Bucs sign Cutler the ONE THING I CAN PREDICT:

All you people clamoring to bring Jay Cutler to Tampa will be the first to cry foul when the defense gives us 35+ points a game.

The Pessimist always gets it. And he gets it again here (more than, say, Jeff Carlson). This is the best young QB in the league hands down. You do what it takes to get him and then build the D back up.

If the Bucs some how got a hold of Cutler. It would be the polar opposite of what Buc fans have watched for years. Since I can remember. The Bucs have never had a QB. That any of team would want/envy to have.
Cutler is that guy. I just think of watching a Bucs game. Where it is shoot out. Because the defense is not as good as the old days. And it is much more offense than defense.
I could deal with it. It would be refreshing.
