Official: Cutler to Bears per NFLN...*Two 1sts and a 3rd*

[joseephuss]

Physically, Cutler can make more throws than Cassel can. And Cassell also had a running game, a great offensive line, great WRs, and one of the best systems in football to flourish in.

Cutler left a one dimensional team, with a shoddy defense - always playing from behind, with no running game.

The Bears gave up a lot, but its a good move for both teams IMO.

I think saying Denver had no running game is a big of hyperbole. They did not have a premier back, but they had a decent running game.

They averaged 4.8 yards per carry(387 carries) and produced 1862 yards.

Pittsburgh is considered to have a very good running game and they averaged 3.7 yards per carry(460 carries) and produced 1690 yards.

Dallas averaged 4.3 yards per carry(401 carries) and produced 1723 yards. The difference in these three franchises was their commitment to the run last season.

I wonder if this will prompt Detroit to take a QB instead of a left tackle. After all, you gotta "keep up with the Joneses." Of course, QB might have been their plan anyway.

Wow Denver has a real craptasic QB lineup now Orton or Simms

I'd hold off on sayin Simms is crap.

He was on the rise before his injury and this offense fits his style.

He may never see a down in Denver but he has some legit ability.

They can't be serious with that line-up. They have to address the position in the draft.

perfect imho.

glad he is in the nfc where we see him more often but glad he didn't go to washington in case he ever got his mental game together and met his potential.

But he isn't Romo, so he must not be that good...

Simms was not on the rise. He posted a 48.6 QB rating in the 3 games he played prior to rupturing his spleen. He looked terrible to start that season.

No player is worth two first round picks. I even think that no player in the history of the NFL was worth trading two first round picks to acquire. One can argue that there are a handful of players that were worth trading two first round picks, but we have no idea how their respective teams would have changed had they made such a deal to get those players.

Uh yes they are.. We got Ware and Spears, and a player equivalent to Spears could have easily been gotten in the later rounds... Especially this years draft, when there isn't that much talent. Chicago has been in QB hell for how long?

i think that's a misleading stat. there were times when cutler himself was both the qb and rb bec theres no one in that backfield. and cutler runs very well.

the thing is, it really cannot be called a decent running game when you dont even know who your rb is the next week. they had to pull tatum bell out of a cellphone shop bec they practically had no one. had to convert their fb into an rb bec they have no rb on that roster.

denver had a very great o-line though. clady is a monster. i just wonder how jay would do without a terrific o-line that only gave up 12 sacks. but jay's mobility is pretty underrated, so that'll come into play when he's in a pocket not as strong as denver's.

HAHAHAHAHHA

Idiot Commanders.

Finally acknowledged that their QB sucked. But then failed to get a replacement, so they are stuck with QCampbell.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

I hate being a jerk...but this is really funny! The skins fans have to be going nuts!

 

[kmp77]

WOW....Chicago ACTUALLY went out and got a QB! I'm shocked

Did the news report how many heart attacks and people passing out in Chicago once the news hit??

the spin will now be "Campbell is better than Cutler anyway, and we didnt have to give up anything to keep him"

Is it driving you crazy that people are politely ignoring you saying Simms was on the rise before his injury?
