Speaking of Jay Cutler (Because, On and Off, We Have Been Since September)
The only thing I would add to the thing is this: when is someone going to step up and grab the starting running back spot? Denver is usually running back heaven; careers and big contracts are made in the Broncos backfield even if those big bucks sometimes come from another team’s pockets. It boggles the mind that there probably won’t be a thousand yard rusher in Denver this season, and I think that a lot of the Broncos woes can be traced to that lack.

Comments & Trackbacks
The success of a running game depends in large part on the credible threat of a short pass. Jake has not had a credible short passing game all season.
(Occasionally, he would throw a truly gorgeous long pass to hit a receiver in stride, but his probabilities at 10 yards weren’t much better than his probabilities at 40 yards. And they weren’t stellar at 40 yards.)
