Happy Cutler

Jay Cutler is out of Denver and got what he wanted. He is now a Chicago Bear, though I am not sure if being the Bears QB is what he wanted. I feel like it's good for Chicago and not too good for Cutler. Chicago gets a proven, talented QB - may be it's first since the 18-Th century. Thats the problem for Cutler. I don't know if the coaches there, their system, the city, the weather etc. etc. know how to use and leverage a good QB. I think he would have fit well with the Jets, Vikings or even the Niners, though it might have taken longer with the Niners. But in any case he makes the Bears better for sure. Cutler is good.

Denver won out big in this deal too. The Broncos got quarterback Kyle Orton, two first-round draft picks, a third-rounder and a fifth-rounder thought Cutler was a known problem-child at Denver. Looks like somebody was DESPERATE. I wouldn't have given anything more than Orton and a first rounder. Some would argue even thats a little high. This might explain why the other teams couldn't pull it off. I do think draft picks are a little overrated when it comes to QBs because a proven QB is worth a first rounder for sure. They are not as easily replaceable as other positions through the draft. Finding "A QB" in the draft is easy. But finding "THE QB" is not. But still the Bears overpaid for sure.

The Broncos are screwed in the short run. No QB and a new coach. Broncos' kid-coach Josh McDaniels is the reason for all this mess. What was he thinking when he went after Matt Cassell in a trade? I mean forget the fact that he is a new guy in town and didn't establish any relationship with his spoilt-brat QB. Why did he even want Matt Cassell instead of Cutler in the first place? Just because he worked with him in New England and Cassell did well with Moss in that offense for one year? Cutler has his issues and he does behave like the 20 year old kid-sister of Paris Hilton, but Josh shot himself in the foot not knowing what he has in Cutler - both in terms of his football skills and his personality. I can easily argue Cutler is better than Cassell as a QB.

Now the NFL's only girl QB is in Chicago. She wanted out and she is talented. In some sense everybody won out in this trade.
