N/S Cutler trade to Bears (mega merge)

[MajorLamont]

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.

Have you ever been to Denver?

I think he'll be just fine.

I never said he was in the same league as Cutler.

I think Cutler is an upgrade at QB for the Bears, but I think they gave up way too much to get him. I think other teams could have used Cutler more, and were less likely to get ripped off.

W's matter more than anything else in the NFL. Why don't you cite Cutler's godly stats from this past year, then tell me their record.

Yep since there isnt 21 other players that play also right? why is it that qbs are ranked due to how many wins or losses the TEAM had? the guard or tackle is just as important to a team as a qb. Cutler is 20 times better than orton ever will be.

I was screaming in my car as I was driving home and people were looking at me like I was crazy. No need for you guys to comment on that BTW.

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

It depends on what's available...with 4 first round picks in the next two years, they can afford to let a guy sit. If Sanchez is there, I think he's the pick. If not, they could easily draft a tackle there. But they could just as easily go defensive end if a guy like Maybin is there. Who knows really. Our best hope is for Raji to slip to the Packers and Sanchez to the Broncos. That would pretty much clear the path for Jenkins to 14 (at least in my opinion).

You should be. The people here aren't thinking clearly and most don't like Cutler as a person anyway.

2 1sts and a backup caliber player for a great franchise guy that'll lead you for the next 10 years at least?

The Bears were probably going to spend a 1st on a QB anyway this draft. Obviously they aren't happy with Orton. So for an extra 1st they get a proven guy who's really good instead of a rookie with the 18th pick alone.

 

[Lord Scyther]

Are you seriously trying to say that Cutler is why they didn't win? Their defense was worse then ours. Does that mean Brees isn't good? Silly logic.

No, he is not the only reason.

Indy's defense was 31st but Peyton still got them to the Superbowl.

No, it doesn't mean Brees isn't good. It does mean he isn't great.

But those are only collateral points.

The main point of my OP was that the Bears overpaid for Cutler, and a lot of people seem to agree with me.

 

[ClayT101]

I think they over paid for Cutler, with his medical condition, you really have to wonder how long he will last

Funny, Same thing happened to me when we signed Drew.

Exactly. You guys have Drew so don't know how it feels to have the QB troubles we have had.

It's not and a 3rd. They got a 3rd in return with Cutler.

Did anyone really think a franchise QB of Cutlers age was getting moved for anything less then 2 1sts?

No, it's not. They get a fifth in return. The Broncos get two first, a third and Orton.

Brees is great. QB's can only control so much.

It took how many years for Peyton to make a superbowl with that crappy defense? I'm glad he finally did it, but it's hardly something to point at as something every good QB should be able to do every year.

Congrats, I didn't know if you ever were going to get a QB.

Are you serious? Drew hasn't been quaterback for us for the past 40 years.

I understand those feelings now and many other bear fans do. I cannnot even get on to our MB.
