Talk about having the excitement and enthusiasm for a brand new season taken from you. I have no interest in watching a Jay Cutler led offense.
Don't get me wrong, I am and always will be a Miami Dolphins fan. If the team does well with Cutler under center, I'll be happy for them. But I just can't get excited about it. I dislike Jay Cutler's game THAT much. I'm not sure there's a player out there that I was would have less excitement for. He's just an awful, awful QB and not a personality I can root for. If he was any good, he would have had a job already rather than as an announcer. But nobody wanted him.
But now, Gase apparently wants him because he's 'familiar' with him. So freaking what? I don't get that. He coached him for ONE freaking season and that makes him a more attractive option?? When Gase first landed in Chicago, he certainly wasn't familiar with him. So why couldn't he have gone with an unfamiliar QB again? And a better one at that. Anyone saying that Gase must believe he's the best option is missing the point, IMO. This is NFL nepotism at it's finest. I'm not a Colin Kaepernick fan, but he's a better QB that Jay Cutler by far, even if not a 'system' fit. Hell, Matt Moore is a better QB than Jay Cutler -- which is exactly why Matt still had a job and Cutler did not.
I'd much rather have seen the Dolphins find a capable and experienced BACKUP QB to Matt Moore than this. You don't pay someone 10M + incentives unless you plan on them being the starter. Cutler is not a starting QB. Everyone has seen that movie already.
This move absolutely sucks.
I was right there with you. I seriously considered just not watching at all this year but since I figured out a nagging injury is going to keep me relatively immobile for some time it would be absolutely silly for me to not watch just because I hate Cutler. I'm too intrigued on seeing how Ajayi, Landry, and all the other Dolphins I've been rooting for will do.
