Are the Redskins interested in Jay Cutler? Maybe. Should they be? Maybe.

(UPDATE: For further opinions on this matter, see the latest post here.)

I have been meaning to post a blog about how Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler is a whiny bitch. The guy asked for a trade when quarterback coach Jeremy Bates left for USC. Then, when Josh McDaniels showed up as the new coach, he gets offended when McDaniels ponders the possibility of trading for Matt Cassel.

Why did McDaniels want to trade of Cassel? Because, simply, he was his guy. McDaniel was the offensive coordinator in New England last year and took Cassel from a scrub to a $14 million a year guy after he led the Patriots to an 11-5 record. He knows Cassel's system, which is sort of a necessity in Denver, when you consider that McDaniels is probably not going to have much of a grace period in a place that demands winning.

The NFL is a business. If McDaniels thinks that Cassel's going to help him win faster, then so be it. Cutler's a starting quarterback, a Pro Bowl quarterback, so if he gets traded, he'll start somewhere else. And he'll get paid very nicely to do it.

But Cutler's got to whine and moan about how he's being mistreated and demand a trade. Get a life. How immature. How phony. You're getting paid millions of dollars to play the glamor position in a professional sport. Where do you get off complaining about much of anything?

Then I found out the Washington Redskins, my team, are allegedly interested in trading for Cutler. It leaves me somewhat conflicted. Talent-wise, it would be a huge step up. But he's still a whiny bitch.

The Redskins quarterback, Jason Campbell, has been a bit of a disappointment. Last year, he threw 13 touchdowns and only 6 interceptions. That's nice--in half a season. That was his total for the year. He has had to deal with a lot of offensive systems, to be sure, but he hasn't shown a lot of confidence in his abilities and hasn't inspired much in his teammates, either.

Cutler, on the other hand, has a rifle for an arm and impressive statistics last year. He put up more totals in 5 games than Campbell did in a year. He's probably an excellent fit in Jim Zorn's scheme, because it's close to what Mike Shanahan had in Denver last year (there's that scheme thing again).

Putting Cutler in the Redskins offense with Santana Moss, Chris Cooley, Devin Thomas, Malcom Kelly and Clinton Portis makes them infinitely better--on paper. But he's still an immature twerp. The Redskins are fragile enough already in terms of team chemistry; putting a guy under center who was dumb enough to talk about how he has a better arm than John Elway while playing in DENVER! is probably not a good idea.

So please, Jim Zorn, Vinny Cerrato and Dan Snyder--save your draft picks (and whatever players you'd trade to get this guy). Take a pass on Jay Cutler until he grows up.
