Cutler is winning:


Young, Leinart have company
By Bill Williamson
Denver Post Staff Writer
Article Last Updated: 09/12/2007 12:02:32 AM MDT


Jay Cutler was selected 11th overall in the 2006 NFL draft. (Post file)The Larry Bird and Magic Johnson of the new generation have some competition.

During the offseason, Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young was quoted as saying he and Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart wanted to be known as this generation's Magic and Bird.

One of Leinart's representatives, Chuck Price, also was recently quoted as using the comparison. But Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler may be butting his head between the much-hyped twosome.

In the 2006 draft, Young was selected third overall, Leinart 10th and Cutler 11th. All three will be linked together for the rest of their NFL careers and forever compared.

Cutler has made six starts for the Broncos. Compared with Young's and
Leinart's first six starts of their careers, Cutler has more wins, yards passing and touchdown passes and fewer interceptions.
Cutler also had a better 2007 debut than Young or Leinart.

Young, also a dynamic runner, went 2-4 in his first six games. He was 72-of-151 passing for 840 yards, with four touchdown passes and seven interceptions.

Leinart was 1-5, going 112-of-211 passing for 1,294 yards. He threw six touchdown passes and seven interceptions.

Cutler is 3-3, having completed 104-of-176 passes for 1,305 yards. He has 10 touchdown passes and six interceptions.

Cutler established himself by engineering a game-winning drive Sunday at Buffalo. The Broncos beat the Bills 15-14 on a last-second field goal by Jason Elam.

"It's my job to stay poised and in control. That's what quarterbacks are supposed to do," Cutler said. "That's why we get paid the big bucks, to make third downs and make two-minute drives. Bronco fans know the situation well from John Elway doing it for all those years."

That's about how anyone thought the numbers would look. Besides the fact that that happens to be in the same order of "who watched the longest", Cutler was known as a gunslinger, Leinart a passer, and Young as a scrambler, so logically the passing stats should be Cutler-Leinart-Young (except interceptions, which logically would be Leinart-Cutler-Young, so Cutler being up by one is a small suprise there).

Of course, see if Cutler keeps up with the winning. Since that 2-4 start, Young is 7-1...

Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't the Broncos already kicking ass before Cutler took over? I think the Titans were like 0-4 or some shit when Vince got in and the Cards were pretty bad last year too. Throw Vince or Leinart in Denver last year and I'm sure their numbers would look better, I'd venture to say Denver would've made the playoffs if Vince was their QB last year

0-3. He went 8-5 as a starter and they finished 8-8. He played in 2 of the 3 opening losses as well though.

The Broncos were 7-4 when Cutler took over and finished 9-7

The Cards were 1-3 when Leinart took over and finished 5-11. Leinart took over in the 4th of the Cardinals 4rd loss.

Leinart looked terrible throwing the ball Monday night. His throws weren't even close to the WR's (Alex Smith looked even worse). VY will never put up "great" passing numbers. But he'll always be a winner before anything else. He'll find a way.

As a Bronco fan, I can honestly say that I wouldn't trade Cutler straight up for either of those guys. Leinart isn't anywhere near athletic enough to run the Broncos offense. Cutler throws on the run about as well as anyone in the league right now. He just has a cannon. VY is most definitely athletic enough to run the Broncos offense, but I just don't like his throwing style.

Cutler is a future superstar. Write that down in pen.

So far Cutler has indeed been extremely impressive. He's been more accurate than just about anyone expected, which has resulted in a higher completion percentage and lower interceptions. He's definitely better than Leinart right now (although in all fairness, look at the O-line Matty has had to work with), and has much more room to grow IMO. I'm not sure I'd go with future superstar, but star certainly.

Man, you must not watch many Broncos games. The Broncos Oline is overrated when it comes to pass protection. They have been for years. Cutler made things happen with his feet, something that Leinart will never be able to do.

I know you're a Chargers fan Sanity. Which means you weren't a football fan before 2004. Which means you probably didn't watch much football before 2004. So, I'm gonna assume that you never got to see many of the great QB's of the last 20 years or so. Great QB's don't struggle with 8 men in the box. Peyton Manning didn't do it against the Bears in the Super Bowl. Drew Brees didn't do it in the NFC championship game. Tom Brady sure as hell would never struggle.

Rivers will never be more than a good QB with great weapons. Never.

Cutler has the tools, but I don't know if he has all the heart yet. He has a very good team around him so that helps. Rivers fits in the same category, but I'd say he's shown more than Cutler at this point. Leinart can't throw on the run and may not have the heart either. He also has a decent team around him and a good defense, but not a great O line. VY has the worst team around him of the 4 and yet keeps winning. That's fuckin amazing. The guy gets the best out of his teammates.

Using wins to measure a quarterback's effectiveness is total bullshit. Take last year for example. Against the Chiefs and the Bears, Matt Leinart led the Cards to what should've been two game winning field goals. Neil Rackers missed both of them. Two losses, and there wasn't a damn thing that Leinart could've done about it. Neil Rackers shanks a 41 yarder and Leinart can't win, but the Titans kicker makes a 60 yarder and Vince Young "just wins".

But on the topic, I think that all three of them will be great.

The W/L argument comes into play either when the stats between two QBs are extremely close or when the QB being defended has shitty stats.

I remember when the Texans beat the Steelers with 47 yards of total offense in 2002. Should Carr get the credit for the win in guiding his team to a whooping 12 yards of offense per quarter?

W/L record is a team stat.

Cutler - barely beat a shitty, shitty team that had it's competitive fire taken away by the near on field death of a teammate.

Leinart - Lost to a relatively shitty 9ers team with absolutely no offense whatosever, but a good defense.

Young - Led his team to beat a team in the Jaguars in which almost nobody gave them a chance. The guy leads winners one way or another. I wouldn't be surprised if they beat the Colts this weekend, they shouldn't, but it wouldn't surprise me at all.

Well, it's not total bullshit since the QB is always considered the most important man on the field, but it really isn't all that good of a measure without knowing the context of those wins as well.

I mean, Quincy Carter had a decent winning percentage, and I doubt many people would argue he's anywhere near a decent quarterback (I believe he semi-recently got cut from an arena league team and couldn't cut it in the CFL either).

The guy didn't do dick in about half of the wins credited to him thus far as an NFL QB. He has the potential to be a very good QB in the NFL, but as it is right now, he is horrible throwing the ball. Flat out horrible.

Yeah USC constantly underperformed under Matt Leinart :rolleyes. The homerism is blinding.

I think that both Matt and Vince are pretty much equal in that they both have completely different styles of play, but are natural leaders who are destined for stardom. I'll wait to decide who is better three years down the road.

In case you haven't noticed this isn't USC or the NCAA anymore. Leinart doesn't have the nations top recruits with him to either beat up on lesser equipped teams or still get his ass handed to him by a VY team. Even that hack John David Booty can win with the talent USC puts on the field.

Here, I'll make this simple for you. So far in their NFL careers, VY has shown that he is a leader and gets the best out of his team (a team that is very limited compared to others in their conference) while Leinart has yet to show that he can lead his teams to consistent play in his comparably far weaker conference. Sure there were a couple of games where the FG kicker decided, but the fact remains that Leinart and his team put themselves in a position to lose a game without the FG against decent competition and the guy missed the kicks. VY and his team put themselves in a situation for that one game where a FG was needed to win without overtime against the eventual NFL champions. The guy happened to make the kick.

When Leinart was coming into the league the knock on him was that he is immobile and doesn't throw a tight spiral. Those problems are becoming very evident in this league. He hasn't started his career off well at all.

How come Vince Young is the only quarterback in the league who's success is ONLY measured by Wins vs losses?

Every other QB has their number scrutinized week in and week out, but with VY it's always his teams record?

Jake Plummer has the highest winning percentage among all Broncos quarterbacks, does that mean he's better then Elway?

As far as I know, the only stat that the NFL keeps for individual wins is at the QB position. Didn't Favre just tie or pass that recently?

Judging a QB by wins and losses isn't fair, but it is done and not just for VY. Last year, the media had a boner for Romo because he was 6-2 as a starter before the wheels came off at the end of the year.

He may not always put up great stats, but he leads his teams to wins. All QB are judged by wins more than anything else because if you don't win you won't be the QB there for long.

Well said.

Football is, IMO, the ultimate team sport but a disproportionate amount of focus is put on the QB position. It's not right, but it is true.

Football is a team sport. Just looking at win loss records to judge a quarterbacks effectiveness is total bullshit. I think that my example clearly illustrated that. Just because the Titans kicker can make a last minute field goal and the Cardinal's kicker can't doesn't mean that Vince Young > Matt Leinart.
Leinart's RB > Young's RB

Leinart's WR's >>>>> Young's WR'S

Leinart's Defense = Young's defense

Leinart's Record < Young's Record

Young >>> Leinart

So if VY gets all the credit for the Titans playing good D and their RBs having a great game, does he get all the blame when the D is a sieve, his RBs fumble 3 times and say his K shanks a potential game-winning FG?

The guy didn't do dick in about half of the wins credited to him thus far as an NFL QB. He has the potential to be a very good QB in the NFL, but as it is right now, he is horrible throwing the ball. Flat out horrible.

I know, I know. He just wins.

Single-handedly.
jew a hater.


VY does a lot of damage and puts a lot of pressure on teams with his feet. Also, he makes clutch throws that win games.

He's completing 63% of his passes and is running for almost 5 yards a carry.

Plus, his team believes in him!

How come Vince Young is the only quarterback in the league who's success is ONLY measured by Wins vs losses?

Every other QB has their number scrutinized week in and week out, but with VY it's always his teams record?

Jake Plummer has the highest winning percentage among all Broncos quarterbacks, does that mean he's better then Elway?
what the fuck are you talking about?

Peyton Manning put up incredible numbers, but most people wouldn't consider him as the #1 QB in the league over Brady, BECAUSE he couldn't win a big game.

On the other hand, Brady didn't put up numbers like guys like Manning or Palmer, but because he won so many games and showed up in the big games, he was always considered the best.

No one considers Marc Bulger a top QB. He lately has put up some nice numbers, but his team doesn't ever really do much.

Big Ben isn't really an elite QB either. He puts up decent numbers, and got a ring, but when people watch him, they see that he really isn't as productive as he seems, and rides a very talented team more than leading a talented team.

There are reasons people say what they do. You have to watch the games, to understand what it is, that makes players like VY or Tom Brady (who doesn't put up eye-opening stats like Manning or Palmer, but gets wins) special.

EDIT: I didn't see that a couple others already had posted similar answers to what I said. But oh well. Read it again.

Yeah, I've already been pretty much shut down on that argument. Having said that, I watch a lot of the Titans just so I can bitch about VY and frankly, I'm still not impressed. His running game is good, his offensive line gives him decent protection, and his defense is very good. In my opinion, it's not VY winning these football games.

It was the same with Aikman. He didn't put up spectacular numbers most of the time, but his teams won a lot so he's one of the greats. For his carreer he averaged less than 200 ypg passing, 61% completion, 1 TD and 0.8 INT or so and and only had 2 seasons with a QB rating over 90.

Not that he doesn't deserve it, but his numbers seem paltry compared to the people he's mentioned with.

That's the weird thing about it. He definitely has a lot of room for improvement as a QB, and I think he is on that road and is improving bit by bit. We still have to remember that this guy hasn't even been a starter for 1 season of games yet. That said, his stats aren't that impressive, but what is weird is how his team just plays better with him at QB. When Collins was the QB the defense was mediocre, the line was mediocre, and the running game was less than mediocre. Once he took over all of those things got steadily better, it just seems like every player on that team is more motivated and more confident with him as the QB, and that leads to better performance. Believe me, I can't explain it. He did the same thing at Texas, where the culture was underachieving and playing without a killer instinct for years before Vince became the QB. Once he started his first full season in 2004 the team just seemed to play harder. That snowballed and eventually became the 2005 National Title team. I don't know what the hell that guy says or what he does, but it seems to get the best out of his teammates. The same guys that played poorly with no enthusiam before Vince are all of a sudden busting their ass rolling with confidence with him at QB. The guy's basically the football version of Patton.

VY's clutchness in the 2005 season alone eclipses Manning's entire career of clutch.

Manning is the Troy Aikman of the 21st Century - give him a great offensive scheme with the best O Line and receivers in football and he'll get wins. Aikman's numbers weren't as great because those teams could line up and run the ball up your ass constantly where Manning's system is more pass oriented, but either one of them on this year's Titans would suck horribly.

Manning dug himself into the crater of clutch craters for the extreme amount of anti-clutchness emulating from his pores while he was in Tenn. He entered the NFL so far down in the anti-clutchness hole that he's just now starting to climb his goofy ass out.

And naming all those great QBs in the same sentence with Vince Young is just retarded.

Let's see what he does against an awful secondary this weekend.

And to be fair, it's not that I don't think he can become an elite QB. It's just that I think he has a long, long way to go in achieving that.

As it is now, his mechanics look the same as last year - ugly.

He should be better in the second half of the season than he is now, though.

He has to improve, no doubt.

Young's O-line>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Leinart's O-line

And Young had a vastly superior running game to help him out last year, not to mention a defense that basically won him a few games. Plus a kicker who can make freak 60 yards to win games, whereas Leinart's kicker choked on two game winning field goals. Nice to see Matt bounce back with a very good game this week too.

Oh, and Peyton Manning has more clutch ability in his pinky two than Vince does in his entire body. Call me when VY gets a playoff berth let alone leads one of the most prolific playoff comebacks in NFL history en route to a superbowl.

After that Manning comment, I refuse to discuss football with you any further. You might possibly be the most ignorant person I have ever discussed football with, after reading that comment.

You gotta be kidding me. I always thought the not-clutch label as applied to Peyton was a little unfair, but VY has more than earned that title. I'll call you next week after Vince Young gets his 16th NFL start. Manning's only a 9-year vet.

No doubt that VY is a clutch player, but to say that he's more clutch than Manning is absolutely absurd. If it's in the fourth quarter with two minutes to go, there's no way you could tell me with a straight face that you'd rather have Vince under center than Peyton.

Who knows if Vince will ever win a superbowl? He's certainly off to a good start landing in Tennessee under Jeff Fisher.

I dig on what you're saying about the national championship and all that. But, we're not saying that he's going to be a good/great NFL QB because of his college exploits. We're using his current play as our basis for that judgement.

Considering Peyton is in his prime, the Colts have WAY more talent on both sides of the ball and Vince is a second-year player, the comparison isn't really apt. Compared to where Peyton was in HIS second year in the League, after he couldn't beat Florida in four tries in college, I'd rather have Vince. Only time will tell how good he really is.

I personally don't understand the need to knock Player A or B in order to pump up Player C. I think Leinart will be a good QB in the pros too, but he might have to leave Arizona in order to become one.

Steve Young never had a great arm (his passing numbers were not that good his first few years), but he learned how to exploit defenses and alot of that had to do with the fact that teams had to take into account his running ability.

He has that poise in the clutch. Leinart is going to be a solid qb as well. As far as Peyton Manning goes, VY isnt at that level yet. It is unfair to go into those debates. When VY finally has a good team around him, lets see how things go then we will talk. Manning has proven himself as a winner. Choker in the past or not, he got over that hump last year and lead his team to the superbowl. You cant call him a choker anymore because he led his team to the promised land. Chokers dont do that.

I never said that "right now" Peyton is more clutch than Vince Young. As I said, one guy is about 9 years older, in the prime of his career, and he's on a team that is stacked on both sides of the ball.

3. The one team that he faced that actually had a defense that put any kind of pressure on him (Patriots), made him look like Kerry Collins in the Super Bowl.

Dirk basically singlehandedly won the most critical games of 2 playoff series (Spurs game 7 and Suns game 5).

BALTIMORE (AP) -- Steve McNair was ailing. Matt Leinart was awful. So Kurt Warner and Kyle Boller engaged in an unexpected fourth-quarter duel that wasn't decided until the game's final play.

After Warner rallied the Arizona Cardinals from a 17-point deficit, Boller moved the Ravens into position for a 46-yard field goal by Matt Stover as time expired, giving Baltimore a 26-23 victory Sunday.

The Ravens (2-1) led 20-3 at halftime and 23-6 entering the fourth quarter, but wilted in the final 15 minutes in a second straight game. Although the New York Jets never did pull even one week earlier, Warner rallied the Cardinals (1-2) to a tie at 23 with 1:50 left.

Leinart was sacked only once but received pressure on almost every throw. The second-year quarterback went 9-for-20 for 53 yards before being replaced for good by the 36-year-old Warner, who also made a brief appearance in the first half.

The Cardinals had used Warner in no-huddle situations in practice, and first-year coach Ken Whisenhunt decided the veteran was the best man to engineer the comeback.


"We were down three scores and we knew that was the best way to move the ball quickly," Whisenhunt said. "It wasn't a situation where Matt lost a job. It was Kurt did better with this package."

Boller entered in the fourth quarter for an ailing Steve McNair. After the Cardinals pulled even, Boller went 5-for-5 for 32 yards to get the Ravens in position for Stover's winning kick.

"You just try and put your mind in a place where hey, it's showtime," Boller said. "I'm warm, the body is warm. Just go through it and take one play at a time."

The Ravens benefited from a questionable personal foul call on safety Adrian Wilson, who was called for a high hit on Todd Heap at the end of a first-down pass.

"We had an airborne receiver hit by a defender, who we called launched into him, and he had a blow above the shoulders into the head area," referee Jerome Boger said.

Warner went 15-for-20 for 258 yards and two touchdowns. His favorite target was Anquan Boldin, who had a career-high 14 catches for 181 yards.

"I'll take the win over the numbers any day," Boldin said.

Baltimore led by 17 late in the third quarter before Warner got to work. He went 6-for-6 for 72 yards in a drive that ended with a 5-yard touchdown pass to Boldin.

After a punt by Baltimore, Warner took the Cardinals 54 yards in two plays: a 22-yard completion to Larry Fitzgerald and a 32-yarder to Boldin with 10:19 left.

Warner completed the comeback on Arizona's next series, moving the Cardinals 64 yards in 10 plays before Neil Rackers kicked a 41-yard field goal to tie it.

"I think I was very fortunate to be in this situation," Warner said. "This is one of those teams that tries to keep you on your heels and second-guessing. When we got into the no-huddle we were able to force their hand a little bit."

Back after missing last week's game due to a groin injury, McNair went 20-for-27 for 198 yards and led the Ravens to scores in three of their first four possessions. But Baltimore coach Brian Billick called for Boller to start warming up with the Ravens up 23-6, and the quarterback entered after Warner put up Arizona's first touchdown.

McNair could have continued, but Billick said, "I could tell he was favoring it a little bit. I was worried about fatiguing; that's when an injury comes. It was time to put Kyle in so it didn't go further."

Willis McGahee finished with 98 yards rushing on 21 carries, and Derrick Mason had eight catches for 79 yards and a touchdown.

Stover kicked four field goals and moved past Norm Johnson into fifth place on the NFL career scoring list with 1,745 points.

Arizona fell behind 20-3 when rookie Yamon Figurs gathered in a punt and cut to his left en route to his first NFL touchdown. Figurs is playing for B.J. Sams, who is out for the season with a knee injury.

The Ravens got field goals on their first two possessions. Warner entered on Arizona's third series, after Leinart went 2-for-6 for 10 yards, and moved the Cardinals in position for a successful field goal.

McNair answered with a 70-yard drive, connecting with Mason on a 13-yard touchdown pass.

Leinart returned with a three-and-out, which led to Figurs' 75-yard return.

Notes

Ravens CB Samari Rolle was inactive because of illness. He was replaced by Corey Ivy. ... Arizona RB Edgerrin James' 27-yard run in the first quarter was his longest since joining the Cardinals in 2006. ... Stover has 416 career field goals, third most in NFL history.

How? Did I say anything about black when naming those QBs? You did. So fuck yourself. You are looking at the skin color. I was just mentioning run first QBs, like your boy Vince. Steve Young and Starbauch could actually throw a fucking pass. That's why they weren't mentioned. It had nothing to do with color. So you are a fucking racist prick that looks at skin color first.
staubach has a career 57% completion ratio and an 83% passer rating. Randel has a 60% completion ratio and a 82% passer rating. I'll give you a pass on racism and just give you stupid.

His rating is 1 point higher, and he has thrown more picks than TDs, unlike Young. :dizzy

And here are the stats that matter most...

VY - 10-6

Cutler - 4-4

And then, give VY the all around talent that Denver has, and he is probably 13-3, maybe 14-2. Let's see how good Cutler is when his recievers drop half of his passes because they suck so bad.

Plus, this "would of, could of" shit about give VY the talent blah blah blah shit is ridiculous. It is what it is and the team around him is what it is.

If you're going to go that way, then Joe Montana wouldn't be one of the all time greats if his team wasn't so good. Emmitt Smith wouldn't have the record if his O-line wasn't so good. Jerry Rice wouldn't have been as good if his QB wasn't so good, etc. etc.

You obviously missed the point. The fact is, Cutler has a far superior team, and still can't win as much as Vince Young does. And when you compare who is a better QB, you don't compare them by their current stats or records. According to your logic, Josh McKown is equal to Donovan McNabb and better than Drew Brees. Or saying that Jeff Garcia is equal to Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.

What is it that makes guys like Montana, an all-time great? Because of his great winning percentages and rings. If we judged him by his last season alone, then he must not be an all-time great, because that is basically what you are saying, that you are only as good as your last season.

You truly are an idiot.

You fucking moron. Have you watched a Denver Broncos game this season? Obviously not, and you are just talking out of your ass........AGAIN.

The Broncos are not a far superior team to damn near anyone this season. Their offensive line can't block for shit and gets shoved around constantly and their defense is small enough that they are on the field for a vast majority of the game.

You know nothing, and only assume because you don't pay any attention to any other team in the league other then your favorite (wait, I forgot you are a bandwagoner and a fan of whoever is winning).

When the defense has confidence in their offense & QB, they tend to play better.

Nobody would say the Titans D is better than the Bears D, but the Bears D will always bend & eventually break because they're so beaten down from having to constantly make up for the shortcomings of their shitty QB.

Not saying Vince Young = defensive stops, but the defense certainly plays much better when they have confidence that the offense will do their part.

Dude, while I hate bashing my favorite team (the only favorite team), you are once again showing that you don't watch the games, you just talk out of your ass.

The Broncos receivers are great, no doubt, but when you don't have any time to throw the ball, it makes it sort of tough.

On defense, you've proven you just know the names and not the players. Lynch cannot stop the pass (at all) anymore, and he's frequently abused by one juke moves nowadays from runningbacks, plus he got hurt in the first quarter of Sunday's game.

Simeon Rice has shown his age and is damn near worthless against the run. Ian Gold misses more tackles then he makes and offenses just have to run the ball constantly against the Broncos in order to take up a bunch of clock and keep Cutler and the offense off the field and out of rythm.

The Broncos are allowing like 170 rushing yards a game right now.

down 14-10 he drove his team down the field for the go ahead score. At that point the saints tanked and turned the ball over 3 more times.

VY was a solid B last night with a Quarterback rating above 90. Of course those stats never take into account the pressure he puts on opposing defenses with his legs.


You can continue the VY hate all you want, but he's only going to make you look dumber than you already do.

Pre-Vince the Titans were 0-4 and expected to be one of the worst franschises in the league. Since Vince started the Titans are 12-4!!!

Also, I heard last night that Vince's 4th quarter QB rating is above 100.
