I have given this scenario a lot of thought and I think they should. First let’s go back to when Cutler was drafted. The Lions needed a quarterback and the top three were Vince Young, Matt Leinart, and Jay Cutler. At the time I thought Jay was the clear cut best quarterback and still do. The Lions passed on a quarterback and still are in need of one. I don’t think they should draft one at number one. First I am not sure that Stafford is better than Sanchez. Since there isn’t a clear a clear number one in my mind and I really believe the Lions have lots of bigger holes to fill I don’t think they should draft a QB at number one. So you would surmise that by that logic why would you essentially take Cutler with the first pick. First I believe Cutler is better than either Sanchez or Stafford. Secondly he is a known quantity. Finally he has experience and the only way to get that is time. The Lions have a long way to go but an experienced QB can help speed up the progression for all of the offense. Now the Denver Divorce. There are two ways to look at what is going on and I will side with Cutler. Yes he is under contract but the way I see it is they were trying to get out of the contract by trading him first so now he has been disrespected and is giving them just what they wanted right? Shouldn’t the Broncos be happy with this outcome? Could you imagine if you told your wife that she was almost replaced but it didn’t work out so she is “still” the love of your life. I would sleep with one eye open if it were me. Denver was dishonest and deserves as much respect as they give employer or not. Detroit should make this deal and have Cutler throw the ball to Calvin Johnson on almost every passing down. Other teams with great wide receivers do this but that is another conversation.
Now the most impressive athlete I have seen in sports since Michael Jordan retired. Tiger Woods. What made MJ amazing is his ability to will a victory and also have the unbelievable talent to make it happen. Some athletes have the will and some have the talent but only these two in my life time had the most of each in the sport. Tiger came into the round 5 back on Sunday. Now everyone thought that he would outplay Sean O’Hair and put so much pressure on him that he would choke. Sean struggled and Tiger surged just like he had pre injury. But what was amazing is how he made every putt he has to and overcame some really bad breaks from 14 in. Did anyone think that he would miss the putt on 18 for the victory? No one did even the PGA tour pros make less than 50% from that distance. He would not allow himself to lose. Give him only one good leg or any bad bounce and he just keeps coming. Can’t wait for Augusta.
