Re: McDaniel learned from the best, and he is right
Cutler is a talented immature crybaby who thinks he should be treated as a franchise QB despite not coming close to proving to be one.
With that said, I guess I'm not seeing anything in this episode that shows McDaniels acting like BB unless you are solely talking about not committing a big $ extension to a QB like that. His actions are about as far opposite BB as it gets in other ways.
The Broncos completely botched their attempt to trade for Cassel. They had weeks to try to trade for him and not only waited until the last minute, they waited until after the last minute. This isn't 100% on Josh as he isn't the GM but he clearly had major input on this. You think that would have happenned on BB's watch? Not a chance.
When Ty Law got angry at the Pats and tried to shoot his way out of town, BB did nothing similar to what Josh has done here. Ty called him a liar on national TV. BB said nothing, sat back, and Ty showed up and played. Cutler called Josh a liar and Josh has publicly responded so many times in so many different ways it is confusing. He publicly states he wants meetings with Cutler, wants his calls returned, only listened to offers, can't envision trading him, wll never say never, etc. BB never makes disputes with players public or personal. Pick any dispute contractual or otherwise BB has had with a player (Milloy, Law, Branch, Seymour, Samuels, Glenn, etc.) and try to find where BB handled them in the soap opera manner that Josh has done with the Cutler dispute.
If BB or a BB clone were the coach of Denver - Cassel would be the QB, Cutler would be in Detroit or Tampa and the only public comments from BB would be thanking Cutler for his service and saying how much he looks forward to being reunited with Cassel on the field. If somehow the trade didn't get done, all you'd have heard was Cutler whining followed by silence from the organization. He'd have either been traded quietly at a later point or the story would have died by training camp.
