N/S Cutler trade to Bears (mega merge)

[BoNcHiE]

Yeah, Orton stinks. Denver's QB is now Orton? With that defense?

Somewhere a Denver fan is cutting himself. And of course somewhere a Bucs fan just jumped off a building.

 

[credible]

either way
**** da bears!!

Wow it's hard for me to believe that is the best Denver was offered. And if it was they should have waited til closer to the draft, that organization is a mess right now.

In what world is Kyle Orton starting quality?

The world where he lead his team to the playoffs. I like Orton. He is underrated.

Simms. Chris Simms will beat Orton out.

The Broncos gave the Bears a third rounder

To complete the trade, the Broncos had to give back a third-round pick in 2009.

he's better than Grossman, but QB play is not the reason the bears went to the playoffs.

I think it's a good trade for both sides... if Cutler had to go. I just think that the Broncos better have a heck of a draft to do anything this coming up year.

my bad..i figured it was common knowledge cuz i just heard it on PTI

No problem!

all i can say about this situation is LOOK AT MY AVATAR!

That is a lot to give up for Cutler. Wonder how his diabetes will affect him throughout his career and how long he will be a starter. Makes the Bears pretty tough, but in Chicago in late November and December, it gets really cold and windy. We'll see how well he performs then.

And glad the Bucs didnt get him also.

That makes him starting caliber how? Orton isn't even in the same universe as Cutler.

In 2005 (the year you are citing) he passed for 1800 yards, completed a horrible 51% of his passes, threw 9 TD's and 13 INT's, with a rating of 59.

Does this make Denver more or less likely to draft defense before the SAINTS?

Agreed...I think Denver got the better end of the deal.
