On ESPN radio Albert Breer was one with Van Pelt and Rosillo.

He claimed that Fisher scouted Cutler when he was drafted and he liked him. And Fisher is friends with Shanahan who also scouted and liked Cutler, in fact he traded up to draft him.

Then he noted Fishers success with guys with questionable character like Jenkins and Ogletree and some in his Tennessee time. He said Cutlers past would not scare Fisher and that he thinks St. Louis is the most likely landing spot for Cutler.
 
Obvious rumor is obvious.

I could easily do the same for Arizona, Buffalo, Tampa, Houston, New York, etc.

?How so?

I thought Cutler was a likely Rams target too. They need a QB in a hurry and if they can acquire Cutler on the cheap because Chicago wants to dump his contract or releases him then they can invest draft picks in the OLine. It could be the Rams best chance.

What is worse to bank on? Cutlers head or Bradfords knee? I would gamble on the head in this case. Cutler played well with a change of scenery and Fisher is a players coach that may make Culters troubles easier to handle.

Might have liked him when he was drafted, but that's a long time ago now. There's what....8-9 year of history available at the pro level to review. What Fisher thought at the time he was drafted should be totally irrelevant at this point.

I think there's less of a chance of the Rams pursuing Cutler (with his FAT contract) than there is of them taking a DL in the 1st round of next year's draft. FAR less, IMO. In fact, I'd venture to say the odds of the Rams pursuing Cutler are the proverbial 'slim & none'.

I agree. Can't say I didn't think about it though when he got benched though. I think he will be too expensive honestly. Top FA on the market next year I think. He isn't perfect, but he can start, and he can play. I don't think he ends up here unless we release Bradford. I don't think we are going to release Bradford.
 
I could possibly see it if he was a free agent but his contract will make it really hard for Chicago to walk away. I think it's a reach at best.

My point wasn't whether I personally wnated him here or not. I'm indifferent and if it happened, so be it. I'm just saying it's way too easy to predict him going to a team like the Rams or the ones I mentioned. They all have good supporting casts and good defenses.
 
I think we should all see how Clausen looks before we think Cutler is going anywhere. But where there's a will there's a way. I wouldn't be ruling Cutler out here and in fact, may fit well. He will have a top notch defense, a decent running game, a pass catching TE, two tall receivers (if Britt stays), and some speedsters to toss things up. Cutler would likely do well with all that and not having to throw 50 times a game.
 
There is no harbaugh or Arians on this coaching staff to fix broken QBs like cutler. This will be a disaster waiting to happen if Rams sign Cutler.

If he can't get it done with Marshall, Jeffrey, Forte, and Bennett, then he can't get it done. Plus he is paid like an elite QB, which he isn't. I would rather take my chances on Bradford being healthy over Jeff George 2.0.

Fisher teams believe in taking care of the ball, running the ball and playing good defense. Cutler is a turnover machine so I don't see it being a good fit.

Brandon Marshall has a way of showing up at the party about 5 minutes after him too.

I'm still trying to get my head around this idea. I suppose I could get on board (trade headcase risk verse bradford injury risk) but I just don't see it really happening. It's fun to banter about though. And, I wouldn't put the Rams at the top of his potential landing spots as Breer has.

Rams might decide to go get their version of Carson Palmer...and buy some time until they can go get a young QB they covet.
I could see this as a possibility. Cutler can play, but he's probably nobody's long term answer anymore.
 
Seems like any player with a problem is automatically linked to Jeff Fisher.

What's Cutler's problem? That he was on the sideline during the NFC CG when he was hurt or that he rightfully complained to get out of Denver due to McDaniels attempting to trade for Cassel?
