I did not do my homework. You are correct about the picks. My post was shit.

Well your point still stands about them being just good enough to miss out on some juicy, early-round prospects. Charles Barkley said you want to either be really good or really bad in the NBA, and I agree with him, but I'm not so sure about football. Middle of the pack teams like the Bears and last year's Ravens sometimes go on to win it all. Cutler is definitely not a top-tier QB, but the hope is he's just good enough to give the Bears a chance in the playoffs. If he's not even that then it's definitely time to part ways.

Plus none of them are lottery picks because there's no lottery in the NFL.

Of course it's worth mentioning. Starting-caliber NFL QBs are a precious commodity, and he was a starter at the time.

Good call, that's my NBA bias. I guess what I meant is they've been out of the top 10 or 13 for the better part of the last ten years or so.

Jay was great today, and posted his highest QB rating of the year, 128.1. Bears fans should kknow better than to blame Jay for todays loss.

Context context context.

Even so, he was worth trading to acquire a better QB. Now it's difficult to discuss the two picks without falling into hindsight bias, but for me throwing in Orton to acquire Cutler in 2009 was a no brainer.

Cutler's great at politicking the Bears front-office to keep from having a legitimate back-up QB the entire time he's been with the Bears.

Probably why he's reportedly the first player to arrive at Halas Hall and the last to leave each day.

QUIT STEALING MY BIT!

C'mon your guys at FO had Orton 22 and Cutler 4 in their precious Dusty DVORacek ratings the year before the trade. Orton was barely starting caliber and Cutler was top 5.

People thought the Patriots were absolute morons when after the injury they didn't let Bledsoe get his job back from Brady.

Agreed.



I didn't say he was a good QB. I said he was a starting QB and that we shouldn't make a wanking motion when that particular part of the trade is mentioned.

Agreed

In the future, he'll be a 20 million dollar problem. 18 million if Philadelphia and Tampa aren't desperate.

The guy that got benched for Tim Tebow?

This is my biggest problem. The Bears are going to give a mediocre QB more than $15M a season. There are better ways to spend that money. He not worth it either.

Orton sucks and Tebow was horrendous. Let's not get off topic.

I know it still burns you Orton got benched for Tebow, it's okay to let go. The healing will start.

Just making sure you weren't honestly making the case that Tebow was at any point in his life a better qb.

I worry about this too, but I think they realize what they have - otherwise, they would have extended or resigned him last year.

You don't let someone who's truly worth 15M+ get to free agency if you can avoid it.

I'd buy that t-shirt.

I don't think Cutler gets that much on the open market. He's not a spring chicken, and his career numbers are average. Add in his reputation as a bitch, and you've got yourself a journeyman going forward.

You're right. The first-rounders don't matter either, since Angelo would have blown them anyway. When you think about it, the Bears got Cutler for nothing.
