I totally understand the whole "not Cutler's fault the D sucks" thing...but it's still a very interesting fact, IMO.

No matter how good he is, he's never been a winner. I don't know what it means...but last season's 8-8 was the best record of his career.

*shrug* I dunno. Maybe it means something, maybe it's like pitchers win-loss record. - musubi Nov 9, 09:49 9
- Considering the guys before and after him at Denver had winning records, I don't think it's meaningless. -- nm - Inigo Nov 9, 09:51 8
  - Well, I didn't say it was meaningless, I'm just not convinced it's meaningful. - musubi Nov 9, 10:00 6
    - I'd label it right now as a stat to watch. - Inigo Nov 9, 10:02 5
      - Right now the defense is too bad to even know. I do think the throw first and often approach of the offense is hard on a defense, but the defense is - pmb Nov 9, 10:11 1
        
        I really think the defensive meltdown is in part due to Cutler's gunslinging style. - Inigo Nov 9, 10:20
      - Honestly, they gave up 41 points, I just don't see how you can peg that on Cutler. - musubi Nov 9, 10:05 2
        
        His stats are better than Orton's. At this point, I think Orton is a better overall QB. - Inigo Nov 9, 10:11 1
        
        I'll grant you that I've only been able to see two of Cutlers games, but I watched a lot of Orton in the past, and I don't buy that. - musubi Nov 9, 10:17

Throwing downfield as much as he does is a blessing and a curse. - Inigo Nov 9, 09:47 2
- The lack of (and abandonment of) the running game has been a big problem. -- nm - pmb Nov 9, 09:53 1
  - But that's what usually happens when you throw downfield too much. See the Ravens this year as well. - Inigo Nov 9, 09:56
yet Kyle Orton has a fantastic winning % as a pro...... - groiny Nov 9, 09:43
