He wants it more.
This is happening with Cutler people. He was once projected to go in the 2nd round, and then he moved up into the mid-to-late 1st round. These were all places we thought we could get him.
Now that he appears to be moving into the top 10 of the first round, we're seeing our lollipop being taken away, so we're wanting it more. So much more that we're seeing what could be described as "mortgage the farm for him" ideas all over the board (e.g., trading future #1s, trading Ricky, etc.).
This is a mistake, folks, IMO. Sure we need a QB, but we will eventually be successful without Jay Cutler.
We may not be so successful without what we trade to get him.
No doubt bouts that. Just think, for the next three months we will hear all about Ricky and trades yadda yadda yadda all because of Jay Cutler. Saban will look at all QB's and he will get one that will lead us just fine. We will be a team, not just a team with a QB, which is what we had in Dan Marino, as much as I love Dan. There are some good QB's in this draft that will not get into anybody's "superhero" list but will be just as good because they let the game come to them, not be the guy who makes the game. Joe Montana is a great example, 3rd round draft choice.
