Former Broncos great Shannon Sharpe joined the show to discuss the Jay Cutler-Josh McDaniels situation.
Sharpe said it's crazy that a new coach would come in, look at the Broncos, and look to switch quarterbacks. The offense was great last year. The problem is defense. Matt Cassel? What about Julius Peppers or Bart Scott?Sharpe also can't understand why you would trade a QB who gets paid next to nothing for a very expensive lifelong backup.
Dan asked Sharpe who will start for Denver in September. Sharpe said most likely Chris Simms. He doesn't see the Cutler-McDaniels rift healing.
There's no buffer between McDaniels and Cutler, and they'll be in every meeting together. Sharpe says McDaniels believes he can plug any quarterback into his team and throw for 4,000 yards. "His mindset is, 'I can take Rex Grossman.'" Sharpe said. Sharpe said good luck with that.
Sharpe says that if he was the Broncos QB, he wouldn't trust head coach Josh McDaniels either. McDaniels came in and said he was excited to coach Cutler, and all along was shopping him.
Sharpe said that the Broncos shopped him twice -- in 1995 and 1998. Sharpe said he called Mike Shanahan and the coach said it wasn't true. Turns out, it was true. Sharpe said he didn't trust Shanahan after that. |
