NFL - Are You Ready For Some Football?! - The Offseason

[Lord Avalon]

Cutler's the only proven NFL QB. You don't know what you'll get with the others. Maybe they'll be bona fide NFL QBs - on some team other than the Lions. On the Lions? They'll turn into busts.

[Tuberski]

Correct me if I'm wrong but who did the eagles beat not once but twice to advance into the play off?

Who was it? Wasn't the Cowboys.

ACK!

[-Jrabbit]

Man, sports radio here is pretty much unanimous, both hosts and callers, in saying to the Bears: "Get Cutler at all costs." The typical opinion seems to be: send them a copy of the roster and our draft picks for the next couple years and tell Denver, "Take what you want, we'll take Cutler."

Hester, Orton and two #1? No problem.
Briggs, Orton, Olsen and three #1s? Sure, why not?

In fact, the prevailing opinion is that we draft like crap in the first round anyway, so give them all the first-rounders they want.

I guess people here are a little tired of Chicago not having a quality QB since the 1940s...

[SlowwHand]

Oh, no. Sounds like a Herschel Walker mistake in the making, with the Bears in place of Vikings.

[Ming]

If only the voice of the fan was enough for Bear Management

Yes, I would give them whatever they wanted. But I'm sure at the end of the day, we will read some story about just "how hard" they tried, but couldn't work out a deal.

Cutler would likely lose his edge the instant he stepped on Chicago soil.

Publicly interested: NY Jets, Bears
Publicly NOT interested: Jaguars, Vikings

Other obvious candidates: Browns, Lions, 49ers
Also rumored: Tampa Bay, Washington

Interesting report this morning saying that Denver has "fallen in love" with someone (maybe Sanchez of USC, maybe Brady Quinn) and that's what drove this decision.

[snoopy369]

ESPN's suggested the Browns aren't interested (and why would they be). The Bears, however, seem to be the most logical candidate to actually be able to pull off a trade.
* QB to trade in return that's not total ****e
* 1st round pick that could take one of the top 3 QBs (possibly sanchez, more likely Freeman) if Denver prefers that route

I've seen suggested the price would be something like #1 + Orton + another pick (3rd? 4th?), which sounds a bit high to me. Cutler won't have the WRs to succeed I don't think this year without a WR drafted in the first round. But we'll see.

[OzzyKP]

Lions give Denver our #1 pick and our #20 pick, and they give us Culter and their #12 pick.

Denver can grab Stafford with the #1, Detroit gets a proven QB in Culter and move up 8 spots in the first round to get a good OL to protect Culter.

[snoopy369]

No reason the Broncos would accept that deal... trading DOWN their first round pick? #1 isn't worth that much anymore.

[-Jrabbit]

Denver has stated they don't want a top-5 pick, as those are very expensive when they bust. But Detroit has two other picks in the top 33, so they do have possibilities.

Somebody want to start another thread ... if you don't, I will, and it will be titled something lame like "Jay Cutler Sweepstakes".

Hehe, that's why I don't want Detroit to keep their #1. Even with the change at the top I don't have much confidence in their drafting skills. But ok, trade away our other 1st round pick and our 2nd round one, then get a good left tackle with #1.

[snoopy369]

Where is this good left tackle store you seem to be referring to
