The Future of Denver: Jay Cutler

As a Broncos fan I could only hope that this is an insight of things to come. Denver finally broke it's losing streak, but it was against the Cardinals. Next week will be a more true test of whether Jay Cutler is settling in to the Quarterback position in Denver. He did look good however after tossing 21/31 for 261 yards, 2 TDs, and 1 INT. His completions were much better, he tossed a few more this week, and he racked up a few yards and a couple touchdowns. What I liked to see was the 54 yard toss he launched down the field to Javon Walker. WHAT AN ARM!!!

I think Broncos fans have something to be excited about. We're still in the running for the playoffs. After todays win we currently hold a wild card spot pending the outcome of the Chargers / Chiefs game that is currently on. I believe that if the Chiefs can pull off the upset tonight that the Broncos would be bumped back into the running. The Chiefs had the tie breaker with the Broncos the last I checked. Not that it would be the end of the world. Denvers destiny is still in thier own hands. Winning out thier last two games would insure them a spot in the playoffs because they would have to knock off the Bengals in Mile High next week. Taking the Bengals out would put Denver in regardless of the Chargers / Chiefs outcome tonight.

Whatever the outcome this year, Broncos Fans should be looking forward to the years ahead for Denver. The offense looks fantastic, on paper, for the future. Lots of Rookies and young players that have a lot of promise. Jay Cutler is the most noticable in the front, but Tony Scheffler at the Tight End position is looking great. To early to say for sure, he has the look of a great TE like Antonio Gates, Alge Crumpler, Jeremy Shockey, I could go on. Broncos fans have been excited about the off season pick up of Javon Walker, and he looks to be settling in well as a big play maker in Denver. The other rookie of note would be Brandon Marshall. If Cutler settles into a comfort zone in Denver he will have an arsenal of wide recievers to choose from.
Don't count Denver out this year however, it's still a possibility that they could make a run. Not only into the playoffs, but through them. There is still a lot of work to be done, and it might not happen, but the talent and the players are there. If it all comes together over the next two weeks, it could be possible.

Regardless of a playoff run this year or not, keep an eye on Jay Cutler and the Denver Broncos.
