Yes indeed, it is not every day that your team has the opportunity to grab a young franchise-defining quarter back. So what do you give up for him? My preliminary offer to the Broncos would be as follows:
this year's number 10, next year's number 1, and next year's number 3. and Shaun Hill. I love Shaun Hill and have been one of his biggest backers, but come on, let's be serious here. JAY CUTLER.
Would this be enough? Would it be too much? Here's another question- if you had the chance, would you trade 3 lottery tickets that each have a 1 in 10000 shot of winning you 5 million dollars for a one-time, tax-free lump sum of 3 million dollars? Because that is what you're doing here. You're getting a guy that will single-handedly put your team in the playoffs for the next 5 years. What is that worth?
Last year, Jay Cutler didn't have his star WR for 2 games, and he didn't have a decent RB for 16 games. He had a defense with more holes than an aging porn star! /Rick Reilly.
Despite this, dude had his team 1 game from the playoffs. He was a machine (who, incidentally, led my team to fantasy football stardom). You bring him to SF and give him Frank Gore to play with...you've got an NFC west champion.
So to anyone who reads this in the next couple days- what is your ceiling on an offer to Denver? Do you think it's possible? Would you like to see this dude wearing number 6 in our shiny new unis?
Also: Isaac Bruce is back, which gives me much joy and happiness.
