I will admit that Jay Cutler is a good QB. I'll even say he played well with teams knowing he will throw the ball. But for goodness sake, please don't trade for this guy. There's a reason the new management was looking to deal him out of town. And the problem was not his physical ability. Heres the hint. A QB needs to lead a team, and he is not a leader.

The second thing is this. The last time the Jets drafted a QB and started him regularly, that QB (Chad Pennington) took the team to the playoffs a few times. What ever happened to drafting someone, and giving them the opportunity to play? Before you could trade away your future in draft picks for some guy that had a good season?

I as a Jets fan would rather see players that the team drafted and developed and stuck with. When you trade and sign a bunch of free agents, I'm not watching the NY Jets play football anymore. I'm watching the mercenary unit that is playing for NY for the moment. Let's build through the draft and actually believe in the players we have. At least enough to give them a shot on the field, and not just as practice players. Free agency and trades should just be to add depth, or for cheaper players to fill positions or add flexability. No disrespect to Jay Cutler, but I do not want to see you in a Jets jersey. You wouldn't be a Jet. You'd just be Jay Cutler playing for my team.
