This guy....

Is new Dolphins quarterback Jay Cutler in good enough shape to play after spending the last few months in retirement?

“The good thing is I play quarterback so I don’t have to be in that great cardiovascular shape,” Cutler said with a smile today.

Sometimes acting the part is just as important as talent, especially at that position.

"Acting the part" will never be just as important as talent... IMO.

Sort of like "acting like a President" and "being a President".

The players know a phony when they see one.

This also means Miami is in the running for a qb next year. This is a good qb class and it's another team in the running with the Cards.

Source close to the situation in Miami tells me the Dolphins ONLY spoke to Jay Cutler about the job. Reports suggesting otherwise: false.

They go hand in hand. If you don't act like a president, your constituents are going to stop following you. Your legislation will be useless.

Kind of like the current presidency. Very little is getting done while people bicker about Twitter posts and a cabinet in tatters. If Cutler walks in and seems disinterested, like he's just there for the money, his teammates will respond in kind.

If the guys that count (players, coaches, management) saw and believed him to be what many fans think, he'd be in a broadcast booth come September.

If Cutler was that in demand he'd have been on a team, not traded away once in his career, and then released by the Bears.

The only reason this guy has a job is because a team was desperate.

.... Which in no way invalidates my point.

I believe there was plenty of interest from other teams. He just had no interest in playing for them. He has a good history with Gase & they were probably one of the few teams he would play for.

He's got so many new players to toss INT's to this season. :cool:

Fantasy football advice - start whichever defense is playing Miami.

Well, actually he is right... but the part which does not bode well for me if I was a Dolphin fan is he started his wife basically talked him into it, meaning forget any kind of conviction on his part when push comes to shove

Rumor has it that the Dolphins considered Tebow. Don't know if that's true but I'm not sure he'd leave baseball to get his head knocked. I think he's having the time of his life.

IMO, that would have just been an attempt to keep fans in the stands, while they tanked this season...and positioned for a QB next year.
