Nah, he still would have thrown the ball to which ever WR was covered the most and did so off his back foot.

I think Megatron would have saved Mike Shanahan's career in Denver and the duo makes the Alshon/Marshall wr core look like childs play. 

Yes Cutler had a problem with coaching, but Shanahan/ Gase offered him the best offensive schemes of his career.

If he would have gotten Megatron Cutlers career would of fell closer to Stafford/Romo on the qb spectrum because Megatron is that good.

Browns would have traded up for Jamarcus Russell and passed on Joe Thomas.

What a weird draft that was. I remember coming out of that thinking the Browns had played it perfectly avoiding Russell and trading back in to get Quinn in addition to Thomas. Then it just turned out Brady Quinn... sucked.
