Way to reproduce the Jay Cutler situation for us here in Washington. First, Vinny says "I guarantee Jason Taylor will be here for two years". Obviously he had his fingers crossed behind his back when he blurted that out. Then, he blows his horn again stating "Jason Campbell is our quarterback for this season". Then, you turn around only days later trying desperately to trade him and you fail at that.
You would think with two men who dream about throwing away draft picks, Danny and Vinny would have given whatever away whatever was necessary to get Jay Cutler. Now that you failed at that, we have a young quarterback in the last year of his contract who knows management does not want him here. Even if Jason turns the corner this year and has an All-Pro year, why would he possibly want to resign with a team that lied to him and tried to get rid of him? With so many teams with questions at quarterback, Jason is sure to at least drum up some interest from several teams.
All in all, Jay Cutler is an All-Pro caliber quarterback and he would have been a big upgrade over Jason Campbell. Jason is a good quarterback. He has a strong arm, throws a great deep ball, is well spoken, a high character guy and a solid teammate. He has everything you want in a teammate, but the intangibles for being a leading quarterback just are not there. Maybe it is because he has never played in a consistent system and has never been given a chance to really develop. Either way, right now Jay Cutler has that edge that you want in a quarterback. He is not Peyton Manning at this point in his career, but he is very good and he does have potential to be great.
Vinny,
For all of us who have loved the burgundy and gold since birth and do not have $800 million to buy the team and straighten out this mess, please do us a favor and at least stop making statements like the ones above publicly. It's one thing to continue making horrible decisions that make our team and fans suffer. It's an entirely different thing when you flat out embarrass us all and make a mockery of one of the greatest franchises in the NFL. Honestly, it looks like you are in a two team competition with the Cincinnati Bengals to see who can become the most humiliated organization. Right now, you are neck and neck.
